Why Smart Manufacturing is Important for your
plant? Of all the industries, the manufacturing
sector has been lagging behind in adopting
digital technologies such as artificial
intelligence, robots, machine learning,
nanotechnology, etc. Industry 4.0 is one such
technological advancement that has completely
changed the game for manufacturing as it provides
the vision for smart and interconnected plants
where all the tools and equipment are connected
using a common platform and are capable of making
intelligent decisions on their own. The
explosion of data from various connected
platforms has made it imperative for various
enterprises to rapidly evolve from a physical to
a digital world. As the manufacturing industry
moves to mass customization from mass production,
it needs to ensure to walk on the path of smart
manufacturing by digitizing the different
components within its supply chain and
operations. Digital transformation allows
factories to create a fully networked, integrated
and connected environment with access to real
time manufacturing data to yield high product
design, productivity gains, and reduced waste and
operational expenses. Solulever, a Dutch
Technology Startup is based on the principles of
Industry 4.0 and delivers top industrial
connectivity platforms to help you in taking up
digital transformation of your plant. One of its
key products, Brabo Edge platform, enables
holistic and flexible digitization of the
different manufacturing factories. It is a
manufacturing connectivity and intelligence
platform that allows easy and quick access to
production data, operational data, and quality
data using big data analytics. The Industry 4.0
platform overcomes some of the most common entry
barriers faced by the manufacturers which include
adoption barriers, increased capital expenditure,
data connectivity, and many more. Brabo is a
platform of platforms which allows seamless
connectivity to different tools and equipment at
the shop floor, through which it performs data
mashups which is available to the development
teams on a real time basis. Based on a
microservices architecture architecture, Brabo
relies on an open source environment that gives
the manufacturers the flexibility to opt for
their desired hardware and software solutions
only, that saves them a fortune from investing
into yet another cloud heavy solutions. The
platform is designed in a manner that it can
easily communicate with the existing platforms at
the plant, without having to bring in another
mediator. The data and communication is
normalized using Brabo which makes it easy for
the developers to perform real time calculations
at a fast pace. Integrating the latest Industry
4.0 platforms, manufacturing sites can reduce
their downtime and operational costs
considerably. As the machines get smarter,
occurrences of predictive maintenance are
reduced, resulting in higher quality output.
Optimizing the supply chain and using the
resources smartly lead to higher plant
productivity and cost efficiency, allowing
manufacturers more room for innovation. Take your
manufacturing business a step ahead with
Solulever and digitize your shop floor to have
more flexibility in the manufacturing processes
to respond better to your customer demands. With
smart manufacturing, you are not simply a mass
producer, but an innovator for every customer's
individual needs.
