Industry 4.0: A Matter of Application

The intelligence of our sensors is the result of our wide-ranging expertise as a product, system, and service specialist. We develop integrated and tailored solutions for our customers across a wide range of industries.

Having access to a high volume of data gives you the opportunity to produce more efficiently and more flexibly, and to achieve higher standards of quality. However, your success in making this vision a reality is heavily dependent on the reliability of the data producers: our sensors, which capture real-time situations and convert these into digital signals, forming the basis for the process chain. It is important to precisely define which data you require. We apply our industry and application expertise to help customers identify relevant data. Only when data is collected in a targeted manner can it be used as a reliable basis for the design of application-specific production processes.

 

Application Expertise on the Path Toward Industry 4.0

Flexibility and Productivity Working in Harmony

 

Flexibility and Productivity Working in Harmony

Batch size 1 and individualized mass products are the key aims of Industry 4.0. To make this a reality, a machine or plant must be able to handle variable product infeeds and adapt to different formats. Sensors and actuators make such adaptations possible. Any product size and shape can be produced flexibly on one machine.

Networking Safety and Productivity

The factories of tomorrow are increasingly set to blur the lines between humans and machines, with teams containing robots and people working side by side. This requires a different approach to safety – one that addresses the need to respond to a range of situations with flexibility.

Networked Production: Sensor Intelligence Optimizes Data Availability Along the Entire Supply Chain

Industry is currently facing the challenge of networking machines and overarching IT systems in production processes. The aim of this process is to gain an overview of all production and logistics processes along the entire supply chain, right through to order fulfillment and delivery to the customer. In this respect, it is essential to ensure that all available data is transparent so that goods can be produced individually to suit customer needs right down to batch size 1, or adapted to suit fluctuations in demand as flexibly and efficiently as possible.
