Smart Industry: Transforming Tomorrow's Workforce and Production
The latest industry trend, known as Smart Industry (Industry 4.0) or the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4), revolves around the concept of the Smart Factory. This concept encompasses a range of technologies that underpin the future of industry. It involves connecting machines to the Internet of Things (Industrial IoT - IIoT), collecting data in the cloud, and utilizing AI algorithms to optimize operations, reduce costs through preventative and predictive maintenance, and enhance the centralized management of machinery, equipment, and installations. This, in turn, leads to improvements in operational and commercial tools.
COLLECT MACHINE DATA
The data can be recovered for analysis irrespective of the system type. Any protocol, be it RS232, MQTT, M-BUS, ModBus, or RS485, is compatible. This includes any network, such as Wi-Fi, M2M, LoRa, and ZigBee.
DASHBOARD & REPORTS
Handle data processing and provide dashboards and reports to a range of stakeholders, including management, customers, and support teams.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Data analysis should proactively anticipate errors or inefficient procedures to enable swift intervention when problems arise, or even to preclude future difficulties.
