The world of manufacturing is changing. Digital Automation is leading the way – cloud based software and applications are at the forefront of this new industrial revolution.
Benefit of Digital Systems
The implementation of digital systems helps to streamline processes and to centralise key analytical business data, which leads to timesaving automation and reporting.
The Power of Processes
Our experience of automating processes has highlighted that the power of digital can free up people’s time. By allowing computers to take over process-driven tasks, they speed up the delivery of tasks and the accuracy of the results delivered.
With some of the work that we’re currently doing within other industries, the applications and software that we are creating is improving efficiencies by 40-50% on tasks that were previously reliant on human interaction for process driven tasks which involved multiple different systems.
The Machines Can Talk! Industry 4.0
The machines can talk – and we should be listening. By using cloud based systems, key components can send crucial data, which can become invaluable to your organisation.
Industry 4.0 is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and cloud computing. Industry 4.0 creates what has been called a "smart factory".
What are the Core Elements of Industry 4.0?
- Internet of things
- Additive Manufacturing
- Systems Integration
- Big Data
- Augmented Reality
- Cyber Security
- Simulation
