SPS IPC Drives 2016: Step by step to the Smart Factory
In order to gain the full potential of the Smart Factory, flexible systems that can openly communicate with one another are needed – whether horizontally between machines on the production level, or vertically from sensor to the Cloud. The key to success: the possibility to network heterogeneous production environments regardless of manufacturer. Because only open, standardized interfaces and programming standards can enable sustainable development. Only this way can decentralized production sites become the Smart Factory of tomorrow, exemplifying sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly production.
Error-free production processes
How far the vision of fully networked, self-organizing production systems lies in the future can be seen when paper checklists are still being hand-written in many production sites, for example. Modern Paper on Glass technology offers a wide range of advantages here: zenon Smart Checklist not only eases production employees' work and reduces error-rates. Data can also be immediately processed and used for reports and figures – an important step towards the Smart Factory.
Future-proof manufacturing
Only when data is available in digital format it can be analyzed, interpreted as well as patterns identified and probability developments calculated. Then, the production can learn from previous processes and its own procedures as well as avoid machine downtimes. With resolto informatik GmbH, we are showing how hidden knowledge can be made useful and developments can be noticed early on in order to take the correct measures, at the right time.
