Industry 4.0 is a concept borne out of a high-tech strategy meet by German Govt. It talks about the next generational shift of manufacturing practices fueled by Cyber-Physical Systems, Connectivity and Communication advances. Although the framework is still in making, Deloite described 9 Technological pillars. Siemens has listed 4 key goals on Industry 4.0 which benefits the Manufacturing Industry.
For Defense Manufacturing, benefits of Industry 4.0 is immense and immediate. Defense manufacturing challenges are Traceability, Low Volume Production, Complex Assemblies, Precision Manufacturing and Multi-level Supplier base. In recent years, this sector is marred by Cost and Schedule overruns. Industry 4.0 concepts bring in the Foundation to take the Defense Manufacturing to next level.
Digital Enterprise Turn complex processes into digital success Digitalization remarkably enhances the value chain, as it eliminates separate interfaces that make processes prone to error. A common data backbone is critical, one that delivers consistent communication and serves as an innovation platform. Teamcenter PLM software from Siemens offers powerful data management solutions in the A&D industry. It creates a robust and easy-to-operate foundation, providing access to data from all steps of the value chain.
Siemens has been in forefront of this revolution as a leader as well as participant. We are scripting the framework of Industry 4.0 at our Factories and Establishment’s. We have interpreted the Industry 4.0 as extension to Digitalization resulting in Digital Enterprise. We introduced the concept of Digital Twin, built on the technological pillars of Industry 4.0. The Digital Twin enables us to Simulate, Predict and Optimize the entire Manufacturing Eco- system
A&D Manufacturing can immensely benefit from adoption of Industry 4.0. But what, where and how of the adoption portion stumps many of the early adopters. Information overload over Industry 4.0 also doesn’t help the Defense manufacturing practitioners as material available is “not relevant” or “too little” to Defense technology or practices. Many initial starts also give realization that Industry 4.0 is much deeper and intricate than few graphs and fancy terminologies. Rightly architected, Industry 4.0 can be the foundation to the next generation manufacturing efficiency. Siemens has knowledge and experience in the industry in the adoption of these technologies. Our consultants can help you modernize your facility to gear it up for your Industry 4.0 adoption. We can also help you in formulating a Roadmap to Industry 4.0
Intelligently linking and analyzing data with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
The industrial world is facing rapidly changing challenges. Our resources are finite, and we all need to do more with less. Digitalization and automation are the game changers to meet these challenges on the way to Industry 4.0. It is essential to collect, understand and use the massive amount of data created in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The Digital Enterprise is doing exactly this by combining the real and the digital worlds. As a result, the infinite amount of data allows us to use our finite resources efficiently and with that make the industry more sustainable.
