Connected Manufacturing

Building Technological Solutions for Future Smart Connected Factory Solutions

Connected Manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, refers to the integration of advanced technologies and digital systems into the manufacturing process.

We leverage our expertise in data collection within the manufacturing chain to provide track and trace solutions, platforms, monitoring dashboards, and appropriate production reports. As such, we are a preferred supplier for creating connected manufacturing solutions and connected manufacturing services. One of our smart connected manufacturing solutions involves connecting various supply chain nodes with processes, people, and solutions using the appropriate tools, technologies, and solutions for end-to-end visibility - from logistics to inventory and shop-floor monitoring for production efficiency and control.

Let's Talk

Our key offering to clients is to use Cloud technologies to efficiently utilize data for increased visibility and control, resulting in improved operational performance. Our solutions integrate suppliers, infrastructure, logistics, and operations to optimize operational efficiency and ROI.

Connected Manufacturing Use Cases

Connected manufacturing solutions enable real-time monitoring, data analysis, and control of production processes. They facilitate communication and collaboration across the supply chain while optimizing operations through automation. One common use case is predictive maintenance, where sensors gather data on equipment performance to prevent breakdowns and reduce maintenance costs.

Quality control is another use case, with real-time monitoring and analysis of production data ensuring products meet quality standards. Additionally, manufacturers can use connected manufacturing software to optimize supply chain management, with real-time data on inventory levels, production schedules, and delivery times improving coordination and reducing costs.

Challenges

There are some of the common connected manufacturing challenges:

Data Security and Privacy:
As manufacturers adopt more connected devices and solutions, the risk of data breaches increases from unauthorized access, hacking, and other cyber threats.
