Smart manufacturing

Industry 4.0 is composed by tech enablers which make up the plant’s digital transformation. A digitalized plant allows for the free flow of process information in the operation allowing a more agile, flexible and adapting production to the current demand.

Industry 4.0 Enablers

Scope and capabilities

Connected Industry

A plant’s communication network infrastructure is the highway on which information flows giving life to the digital transformation.

IoT Connectivity

Connectivity with different devices in the plant whether they are part of a control system or are isolated and remote is an important part of the process information and are the base for smart manufacturing.

Cybersecurity

Mitigate network infrastructure risks to protect the information generated and processed by computers, servers, mobile devices, networks and electronic systems.

Cloud/Edge computing

Solutions for databases, information analysis and apps based on Cloud or at device level under Edge concept.

Data infrastructure ERP integration

Data gathered from the different plant elements and systems require contextualization to be used as process information for database, MES systems and ERP.

Seeq Process Analytics

Advanced Analytics solution which eases process and asset experts tasks of analysis, supervision and prediction of the operational performance of manufacturing processes by batch, discrete and continuous.

MES
