Industry 4.0, also referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, marks the shift from the classical method of production to the smart method in which more and more digital devices, such as tablets and smartphones, are used, bringing with them a new level of organization and control of all cycles of industrial production and product manufacturing.
The connection between people, devices and machines
With the use of new technologies there is a greater connection between people, devices and machines thanks to which integrated systems are born through which data and the flow of information are propagated in real time between actors, allowing continuous monitoring of the production cycle with optimization of solutions and processes to achieve maximum performance and maximum benefits in terms of cost and time.
Connectivity and smart systems give rise to evolved and sustainable production environments capable of reacting to external conditions in an autonomous mode, characterizing the current context of the smart factory and smart organization.
Machine integration and 4.0
The interconnection of information systems with information exchange and automated integration with the logistics system and other machines in the production cycle are indispensable elements for the 4.0 environment.
Setting up machines remotely and collecting data from the machinery used in production not only enables strategic analysis but also anticipates possible anomalies or malfunctions and identifies aspects to be refined in the range of solutions.
The new and advanced collaborative palletizing solution
To ensure a high standard of safety and improve working conditions for warehouse personnel, we have implemented the new and advanced collaborative palletizing solution, Squirrel, which replaces manual palletizing.
The solution is equipped with a tablet device that makes it very easy to set up the machine. In addition, thanks to the self-centering system of incoming packages, the system is able to accurately proceed with pallet construction without the need for additional sensors or vision systems.
