Industry 4.0
Intelligent factories and connected product cycles
Hardly any other term is encountered as frequently today as Industry 4.0. The industrial revolution is entering its fourth round and, after the steam engine, assembly line and computer, is now under the banner of the intelligent networking of autonomous, self-controlling, self-configuring, knowledge-based, sensor-based and spatially distributed production resources (BMBF, Working Group Industry 4.0).
But is Industry 4.0 and retrofitting existing machines even worth it? Our answer is yes. A modular and fully automated production line increases cost-effectiveness and productivity and makes it possible to produce even small quantities at a lower cost. At the same time, smart data collection enables us to visualize data consistently and analyze it in real time (condition monitoring). As a result, we are now able to carry out predictive maintenance. In other words, to anticipate, plan and carry out maintenance. This avoids plant downtimes due to unnecessary maintenance and unexpectedly occurring defects and increases the utilization and profitability of the plant.

However, the opportunity to revolutionize production methods must also be practicable and must not negatively affect your existing production As a specialist in communication, we take the step into networked production with you and take over the conception and retrofitting of your machines and production lines with our highly adaptive sensor system. The implementation of our sensor system is very easy and already completed in three steps. There is no need to interrupt the current production or to change the existing system control:
- Place measuring box
- Placing sensors
- Collect wireless sensor data and analyze it in real time.
With the aoloa sensor system your plant becomes an interactive data source in the blink of an eye.
