Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, is profoundly changing the way companies manufacture, improve, and distribute their products. By integrating new technologies, analytics, AI, and machine learning into their production facilities, your operation can be more accurate and productive, ultimately becoming a Smart Factory.
Smart Factories drive leaner, more productive manufacturing processes with higher resource efficiency, reducing waste, extending machine equipment lifecycles and improving working conditions for employees. With all this said, Smart Factories are a major facilitator in the transition to a low-carbon society as we tackle climate change.
Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory is reality
Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory go hand in hand. Imagine technology that collects and analyzes tightening data throughout the life cycle of your product program, and therefore can predict process errors and tool failures, recommend an optimal maintenance plan, and reduce your production costs.
With Atlas Copco, this vision becomes reality. We're making technology that provides valuable insights from previous production programs in the data it generates. Transitioning to a smart assembly can increase uptime, reduce defects, lower introduction costs, improve productivity, reduce training times and even energy use.
