Manufacturing X is on the rise! A paper by the steering committee of the "Plattform Industrie 4.0" contains the statement "Resilient and sustainable value creation networks of an intelligently networked industry secure prosperity, competitive strength and future-proof jobs".
What is Manufacturing X?
The "Manufacturing X" initiative describes the intelligent networking of entire manufacturing chains in industry. The aim is to support companies in securing their competitiveness through digital innovation and sustainable value chains.
An EU regulation is being planned that will make machine and plant manufacturers responsible for digitalisation. Due to the imminent implementation of this regulation, the machines produced will have to be equipped with data interfaces. The motivation is to secure prosperity, competitiveness and sustainable jobs.
Digitisation of production chains with elunic
With the IoT product range, sometimes through AI.SEE and shopfloor.ioelunic supports machine manufacturers in networking their machines and production. The acquisition and evaluation of machine data provides the best possible basis for the digitalisation of work processes.
Remote condition monitoringThe smart machine monitoring system, which uses software to monitor the condition of machines in real time, helps companies to build up cross-customer process knowledge. The advantages of smart Condition monitoring are obvious. On the one hand, machine manufacturers can optimise their products and service and ensure availability. On the other hand, they have the opportunity to act with foresight, Predictive maintenance for example, prevents costly maintenance work.
Possibilities and opportunities for the industry
The paper from the Industry 4.0 platform shows that the upcoming Industry 4.0 data space promises change and great advantages and opportunities. Cross-industry communication and the willingness to share knowledge in the form of data can mean digital sovereignty for companies and the economy.
In terms of sustainability, the platform is also setting itself goals on a grand scale. A fully open, standards-based data ecosystem will result in completely new business models and efficiency gains.
"Made in Germany" is still a meaningful status with a great external impact. Through digital innovation, the global leadership position of German industry can further strengthen the "Made in Germany" brand in competition and enable SMEs to transform into digital Industry 4.0.
