Industry 4.0 is the key to your future production. With our experience from a large variety of projects we assist you in tapping the full potential of your production environment.
As a starting point, an assessment of Industry 4.0 maturity will be carried out in your company. To do so, we rely on the established ACATECH framework for Industry 4.0, which has been developed by the National Academy of Science and Engineering.
Taking this as a basis, we draw up a master plan together with you, which will contain all facets required for preparing your production and logistics processes optimally for the future – focussing on efficiency, the enhancement of transparency and the achievement of sustainability targets or quality objectives.
This will be our foundation for designing and managing your transformation projects, supporting you with technical IT and production experts, and guiding the changes that will be taking place in your production environment.
Make use of our expertise to put the contents of your Industry 4.0 master plan into practice.
AI-assisted data analytics are the foundation of every modern production environment. We combine heuristic lean approaches with evidence-based decision logics and in this way provide you with a data-driven basis for optimising your production processes.
Your benefits at a glance:
We analyse your production data to increase your production efficiency.
Our failure analysis minimises your downtimes and improves the product quality.
With our spare parts management analyses you optimise costs and logistics.
Our energy management analyses provide you with a further component for sustainable production.
The decade-long experience and professional achievements of our consultants speak for themselves. We jointly assist you in establishing a data-driven production landscape which will make your production processes smarter, more efficient and more cost-effective.
Solid real-time data are the centrepiece of a modern, data-driven manufacturing approach.
We utilise tried and tested analyses and the proficiency of state-of-the-art production technologies to optimise your shop floor by means of intelligent networking and real time data. In this way, you achieve enhanced transparency and increased efficiency at the production level.
In the field of maintenance we utilise predictive analyses in order to minimise costs and downtimes as well as shape maintenance processes in a proactive fashion.
We optimise your quality management by carrying out automated, AI-assisted quality analyses that ensure continuous compliance with and improvement of your quality standards.
With our spare parts management analyses you minimise downtimes and reduce cost of storage and logistics.
The use of solid energy management data reduces your consumption and promotes sustainable production.
Rely on data that will revolutionise your production! We stand for intelligent production that saves costs and enhances your competitive ability.
Many production landscapes contain machines of different age and a large variety of control technologies. A great deal of data therefore just vanishes into thin air, since communication between the machines lacks efficiency.
With our prototypes for analysis, quality control and the control of production machines we prevent data loss and establish a seamless analysis and control system.
In our feasibility studies we jointly check the technical implementability of potential approaches for eliminating the data gaps.
We develop hardware and software solutions in the form of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), by means of which you analyse and control you production machines more efficiently.
Our go live support will help you and your service providers integrate the proven digital prototypes quickly and efficiently into your production process.
Our digital machine services will make your production landscape smarter and future-proof. Utilise our expertise to establish a consistently data-driven production environment!
The future belongs to data-driven production. The transformation of unstructured data silos into an interconnected and machine-usable data warehouse provides the basis for this. It is what makes the use of current AI technologies such as large language models or computer vision in your company possible in the first place.
Therefore we revolutionise the handling of your production expertise. We use advanced AI technologies to digitise your expertise and make the professional expertise from individual employees easily accessible to all employees in the company.
We integrate this digital expertise directly into the control processes of your machines and in this way enhance your efficiency and quality of your production.
In joint collaboration with you, we then develop customised digital wizards by means of which your employees can retrieve this expertise in real time and are able to solve everyday tasks more quickly and more accurately.
Rely on our expertise when it comes to digitising your expertise! Together with us you transform your production knowledge into valuable digital assets.
A scalable and flexible IT architecture is the backbone of every data-driven production environment. With our experience from both worlds, we carry out the seamless integration of your process and production IT for you – ensuring that none of the two worlds lose their special focus.
A process architecture that fully integrates your business and production processes and allows for data-driven control is the starting point for this.
With a modern data architecture, we lay the foundation for efficient production control based on sensor data and data analytics.
The system architecture ensures the seamless integration of a large variety of IT systems from production control to PLM and ERP systems, including the MES.
Furthermore, our experts develop a modern and customised interface architecture, in order to fully integrate the large variety of mobile devices, sensors, control elements and pre-systems into the production control.
Our architectural expertise enables you to integrate your IT and production processes into your business workflows and to optimise both of the two – in a scalable and resilient fashion.
