Industry 4.0

The Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 is blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds, blending advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics to create smart, interconnected industrial systems. This interconnectivity enables real-time data exchange between devices, machines, and humans, driving unprecedented levels of automation, efficiency, and customisation. Industry 4.0 is not just enhancing productivity — it is redefining the way industries innovate, compete, and grow in an increasingly digital world.

Use Cases for
Industry 4.0

Real-Time Data and Intelligent Analytics for Smart Manufacturing

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Enables real-time equipment monitoring and integrates seamlessly with PLCs, SCADA, and HMIs. It provides in-depth visibility into availability, performance, and quality metrics, while also offering energy efficiency and asset management insights—all through intuitive dashboards for optimized performance.

Digital Twin Solution (DT)

Digital Twin solutions enable real-time monitoring and remote control, enhancing operational efficiency. Built for rapid deployment with platforms like Azure Digital Twin and AWS IoT TwinMaker, they allow customers to simulate and analyze equipment conditions for proactive maintenance and improved uptime.

Condition-Based Predictive Maintenance (CBPM)

Through real-time asset monitoring, our CBPM solutions allow customers to detect anomalies early and predict failures, enabling efficient maintenance scheduling. This proactive approach enhances equipment reliability, compliance, and reduces unplanned downtime, ensuring smoother operations.

Real-Time Location Services (RTLS)

RTLS solutions provide precise tracking of material handling equipment (MHE) like forklifts and AGVs. With real-time visibility into asset locations, customers can optimize inventory, streamline logistics, and receive timely alerts on equipment status for agile and efficient operations.
