Make your factory, a smart factory. Industry 4.0
will help you with that.
I’m sure most of the manufacturing firms have heard
of the term Industry 4.0 but are unsure of what it actually entails. We at
SolutionBuggy have many consultants who help industries by ready for Industry 4.0.
Let’s share some insights on Industry 4.0:
What
is Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 is the 4th industrial
revolution. To give a little history, industries used steam to make the machine
work which increased production and reduced cost in the industrial revolution.
The next phase of the revolution was the mass production with implementing
electricity and assembly lines. The third revolution introduced automation and
computers. We are now here in the fourth revolution through digitizing and
networking where we can connect the digital world with the physical world.
With hassle free wireless networking you educate the
machine. Earlier the intelligence lied with the humans and machines just helped
with the physical work, but now we can educate the machine and the products
itself, also get a virtual image. Using Internet of Things (IoT) you can
connect all the physical machines with software, networks and censors and they
would exchange data with each other making human life and production much more
simpler.
How many hours have you spent to hire a mechanic
because your machine stopped working and the mechanic failed to understand what
went wrong with the machine? With Industry 4.0, the machine will tell you what
part has been failed and what has to be replaced. With artificial intelligence,
it also tells you which spare parts need to be fixed.
Why
Transform to Industry 4.0?
The Cyber Physical systems enable your product to communicate
with your machine. Your product will instruct the machine as to the quantity
and the type of product that needs to be produced, and the machine is then produces and labels the products. After detecting the product, you can never go wrong
with packaging, also your quality check has been performed by the machine while
packaging itself.
Industry 4.0 allows you to have a flexible
manufacturing process that will better react to customer demands. This new
manufacturing technology reduces your cost of production, cost of wastages,
reduces errors, increases efficiency due to usage of robotics, yields higher revenue,
improves customer service and increases innovation. It also allows you to
create a virtual image of the real world using 3D printers and help you test
your product and know your contingencies beforehand which would allow you to
change the process in order to avoid the contingency before you even start your
production.
You don’t need to manually check your stock. You can
add a censor to your forklift and your products, and while stacking up your
goods, you get the data of the quality, description, weights and dimension as
well as the location of the product. This would immensely reduce errors and
damages.
Feed your machines, knowledge of automated systems
with this new manufacturing trend and let them communicate with each other
while you see your profits rise up high and costs go low.
