Jump into Industry 4.0
We’ve already told you that Smart Assembly Management System (Smart AMS) is Atlas Copco’s solution to facing industry challenges that surround busy workstations while eliminating the need for additional hardware. But how does it correlate to Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 is the 4th Industrial Revolution. It conceptualizes rapid change to technology, industries, and societal patterns and processes in the 21st century due to increasing interconnectivity and smart automation.
Controlling your tightening processes
Industry 4.0 revolutionizes the tightening process by providing advanced technologies and data-driven solutions to ensure precise control and optimization. If you have no process control in place, Smart AMS will modernize process control by controlling the actual tightening process and not allowing the operator to just pick up the tool.
Smart AMS gets you in the door to reaching your optimal assembly control by featuring:
- Entry level tightening control
- Communicates with SQS for efficient, clear rework process
- Support of critical stations with additional error-proofing features
- Service Level Agreements
Workstations can be busy and have a lot of moving parts, Smart AMS easily integrates with your MES system and eliminates the need for external hardware and protocol documents. It controls the entire tightening process from tool selection to traceability of the tightening process and documentation. This will cut down on product downtime, rework and scrap, as well as low productivity with leads to increased cost.
To sum it up, Smart AMS helps control your workstation’s tightening process and jump into Industry 4.0 by allowing you to slowly build up your lines and have basic tool control focused on tightening while in the long run, increasing revenue and productivity.
