Manufacturers integrate new technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing and Analysis, and AI and Automatic Learning in their production facilities and throughout their operations.
Intelligent factories are equipped with advanced sensors, integrated software and robotics that collect and analyze data and allow better decision -making. An even higher value is created when production operations data are combined with operational data from ERP, supply chain, customer service and other business systems to create new levels visibility and information from previously partitioned information.
These digital technologies lead to increased automation, predictive maintenance, self-optimization of process improvements and, above all, a new level of efficiency and responsiveness to customers who were not possible before.
The development of smart factories offers an incredible opportunity for manufacturing industry to enter the fourth industrial revolution. Analysis of large quantities of big data collected from sensors on the factory floor guarantees real -time visibility of manufacturing assets and can provide tools to carry out predictive maintenance in order to minimize the stoppters of the ‘equipment.
The use of high -tech IoT devices in smart factories leads to higher productivity and improved quality. The replacement of manual inspection commercial models with visual information powered by AI reduces manufacturing errors and saves money and time. With a minimum investment, quality control staff can configure a smartphone connected to the cloud to monitor the manufacturing processes from anywhere. By applying automatic learning algorithms, manufacturers can immediately detect errors, rather than at the later steps when the repair work is more expensive.
Industry 4.0 Concepts and technologies can be applied in all types of industrial companies, including discreet and process manufacturing, as well as oil and gas, mining and other industrial segments.
