A predictive maintenance system helps manufacturing businesses with condition-monitoring tools to track the performance of any equipment in idle, normal, and peak performance states. Think of it like an AI-powered crystal ball for manufacturers to predict the future. The data you glean from machines operating at different conditions can help you plan future maintenance schedules and prevent […]

Smart Manufacturing is a technology-driven approach that utilizes Internet-Connected machinery to monitor the production processes. The goal of Smart Manufacturing is to identify opportunities for Automation operations and use data analytics to improve manufacturing performance.

The internet of things (IoT) connects physical machines and equipment in a factory to the digital world of cloud, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). It enables you to collect more data, analyze the information quickly and make better business decisions. Forward-thinking manufacturers already know they need to bring IT closer to operational technologies that control machines […]

Industry 4.0 manufacturing is all about the increasing connectivity of smaller and smaller components. It uses the data collected by physical things, either built products out in the real world, or components within a machine on the production line, to impact how these things themselves are manufactured. The more information that can be gathered by […]
