Industry 4.0 is a term created by the German government in November 2011 to define the industrial strategy leading to the creation of an efficient “Smart Factory”.
This development is based on the most up to date technological innovations, for example cyberphysics systems, digitalization, 3D printing, cloud computing, robotics and advanced sensors.
Iot or better IIot (Industrial Internet of Things) contemplates sensors interconnecting intelligent machines, storage systems and production plants in a way that let them autonomously send/receive information and data. All of this to trigger action/consequence and autonomous process controll mechanisms.
In this context MES systems (Manufacturing Execution System) rappresent an essential and compulsory step towards digitalization of modern factories.
The MES system makes possible not only automated data gathering but also its exploitation thanks to interfunctional algorithms that extract crucial information about production real time planning. This knowledge is then passed to people in charge and to management, with an approach that goes from big data to SMART data.
Thanks to all this process, decision making is faster to respond to possible production drifts and orders progress, machines status, materials location, OEE and plant performance are always kept under real time control. Optimization decisons and production process reconfiguration are at the core of an efficient factory.
Net@Pro system is part of Industry 4.0 ready technologies and for this reason takes advantage of the 2017/2018 Budgeting Law tax benefits.
