Industry 4.0 & digitalization
digital • automated • secure
Industry 4.0 is not just a vision of the future, but is already a reality in many Swiss companies. The rapid development of technology is changing the traditional processes in the manufacturing industry. Advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, mobile, social media, and big data are enabling process improvements across the industry.
Industry 4.0: Digitalization
Smart factory, networking, big data and employee productivity
A particularly big hurdle on the way to a smart factory is the integration of many different systems and data, as IT systems often have to be connected to sensor data from networked machines and systems. One focus is on secure data exchange and access to distributed data. In addition to the consistent digitalization of processes, increasing employee productivity, integrating customers into the value chain and timely data analysis are important success factors.
Pragmatic path to Industry 4.0
- How far are you with the implementation of your Smart Factory strategy?
- How well are your systems connected and integrated?
- Do you use IoT systems?
- Can you ensure secure system access for your employees and your customers?
- Are your processes completely digital? Which administrative processes do you absolutely need to improve?
- How can you further improve data exchange?
- What requirements do your most demanding customers have?
- Are your internal and external customers satisfied with the reporting (BI)?
Industry 4.0 digitalization – minimize costs and increase service quality
Involve customers
With the help of modern technology, you can involve your customers directly in the processes via various channels and give them a completely new buyer experience. This gives you valuable insights into their purchasing behavior and preferences. This allows you to design products and services that are tailored precisely to these needs.
Make employees more mobile
Give your employees flexible and mobile access to information that helps them make faster and better decisions. This increases the efficiency and productivity of your employees. For a mechanical engineer, for example, this could mean that he automatically receives a message on his smartphone in the evening at home about a malfunction in a machine he is in charge of. Troubleshooting via webcam enables support from home.
Optimize operational processes
A production environment in which products and production systems communicate with each other and thus optimally control the production process is called a smart factory. This speeds up your production process, reduces costs and increases your efficiency.
Improve product development
Modern technology helps you efficiently share information across the value chain and accelerate innovation. You also gain insights into your customers' usage behavior and can use this to develop new products. Thanks to shortened design processes, you can bring your products to market faster and thus reduce production costs.
Paperless operations with customized access
To reduce your paper consumption, scan your paper documents. Our solution supports you with defined processing rules. Tasks can be processed or assigned automatically. Your processes are coordinated centrally and process steps are automatically followed. This way you reduce costs for yourself and your customers. Regardless of where access is made.
Save time and money when processing invoices
With electronic invoice processing, you can eliminate paper invoices. They check the digitized documents, pass them on for approval and then archive them in a legally secure manner. Using a simple search, the invoices are easily available to you in every step of the process. The system learns with every invoice, including so-called dark processing.
Higher productivity
Whether in the office or on the go, the familiar productivity tools are always at hand. Always-up-to-date Office apps let you create, edit, and share files in real time on your PC or Mac, or your iOS, Android™, or Windows device.
Industry 4.0 digitalization – modular solution
With the products from the Industry 4.0 solution kit, you can individually put together the solution that suits your needs. The cloud-based solution components (infrastructure, data interfaces, applications) are optimally coordinated and your company benefits from more functionality, flexibility, scalability and mobility while at the same time improved security including Swiss data storage.
