Frequently Asked Questions

Industry 4.0 encompasses IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and smart manufacturing. It combines physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better-connected ecosystem for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.

Industry 4.0 is all about doing things differently — introducing automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing.

Today’s Industry 4.0-outfitted factories are empowered to drive productivity and keeps costs down while ensuring quality and consistency across manufacturing processes globally.

Far from just a concept based on longstanding aspirations of Industry 4.0, the Factory of the Future means going beyond the walls of production to optimize digital operations and transform the entire connected manufacturing ecosystem.

The goal is the "smart factory" with cyber-physical systems capable of autonomously exchanging information, triggering actions, and controlling each other independently.

This facilitates fundamental improvements to the industrial processes involved in manufacturing, engineering, material usage, asset performance and management, and supply chain and lifecycle management.

Business Intelligence helps organizations improve business operations technology through the use of data tools and business analytics. Proper applications of business intelligence result in higher productivity and increased revenue by making informed and data-driven decisions. These strategic decisions promote the growth and prosperity of the entire organization.

Before Business Intelligence, organizations had to make critical decisions based on historical factors and intuition, which still left room for errors and problematic mistakes in judgment because of the lack of pertinent data.

Data management is the practice of gathering, storing, and utilizing data or information safely and efficiently.

Data management is important because it helps people and organizations optimize the use of data so that they can make strategic decisions and take specific actions that maximize the benefit to the organization and minimize any risks or shortfalls.

Yes, the more time goes on, the more automation becomes a necessity. Not integrating automation would result in much slower production, worse quality control, and a more dangerous work environment.

For example, imagine never integrating computers, the internet, or any other digital elements into your operations, and how drastically difficult it would be to keep up with modern standards.

In the same way that digital technology revolutionized industrial operations in the 20th century, automation is proving to be the next step forward.

Ask yourself if you want to be ahead of the curve or falling behind.
