Industry 4.0 for Manufacturing Industries

Manufacturing Industries has been facing tone of issues in monitoring and maintaining the machines, staffs and the tracking of the supplies & orders.

While the Industry adapted new tools and techniques to boost the production pipelines as well work efficiency, still there are manual processes which needs attention by the floor managers, Sr. management for day to day production activities and failures on the floor.

Here Industry 4.0 revolution helps?to increased automation, predictive maintenance, self-optimization of process improvements and, above all, a new level of efficiencies and responsiveness to customers not previously possible.

1. IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things)

Industrial Internet of Things is in demand to enable nearly real time tracking by deploying cloud based solutions and IOT edge devices to collect billons of information and send real time alerts to the floor manages to take preventive actions.

2. Cloud Computing

The business demands to have low cost IT infrastructure to manage workloads at scale without major downtime. Industry would rather focus on the innovations and launching new products every year than focusing on the IT related issues now and then. The Cloud adaption is moving in the fast pace and fulfilling all storage, IOT and Data visualization needs by replacing legacy systems with intelligent PaaS, SaaS based services.

3. AI and Machine Learning

While the IIOT collects real time data to visualize current production states, AI and Machine learning drives key business decisions to achieve uptime and higher efficiency. i.e. Industrial machines are prone to breaking down during the production process. Using data collected from these assets can help businesses perform predictive maintenance based on machine learning algorithms.

4. Cyber security

As the IT infrastructure grows and applications demands integration with other external systems, the efficient cyber security and policies are required to protect smart factors and modern manufacturing products.

5. Horizontal and Vertical Integrated Systems

The next generation manufacturing strategies enforce the partnerships and effective coloration with entities outside organization. The Industry 4.0 enables organization for the transparent and real time transactions to improve productivity and efficiency of the workforce and processes.

6. Supply Chain

With industry 4.0, transparency will create integrated ecosystems of supply chains. There will be no barrier between product development, marketing, sales, or distribution. The latest technologies like Blockchain, IIOT, Analytics a game changer for industries to optimize the supply chain cost and increase the revenue.

7. Big Data Analytics

Big data analytics are an essential pillar of industry 4.0 by providing companies with the ability to find valuable patterns and trends. The data coming from Sensors, IIOT devices can be visualized real time and industries can take informed decisions based on key KPIs.

8. Augmented Reality

AR helps organizations in simulating the production environment and experience of the products so that customers/suppliers can be attracted into the business. AR and simulations are modernizing how companies are able to design and prototype products.
