Industry 4.0 is the new heavy trend of the Industry. Also called the 4th Industrial Revolution, it defines the concept of Smart Factory. Behind this concept lies a mix of technologies serving the factory of the future.
Connect the machines to the Internet, through the Internet of Things (Industrial IOT – IIOT), collect the data in the Cloud, treat them through Artificial Intelligence algorithms, so as to optimize the Operations, reduce costs through preventive / predictive maintenance. In a general way, to allow an optimized and centralized management of its installations, its equipment, its machines. Offer better operational and business tools.
Whether it is to collect the hours of use, the number of startup cycles, the status of certain parameters, the recovery of errors and alarms, SmartCom Technologies offers a suitable sensor and an adequate communication protocol.
A site requires the provision of many energies, and water. It may be necessary to ensure the optimal use of these energies, as well as the monitoring of consumption, to avoid such leaks or damaged facilities, which can lead to unexpected and uncontrolled overconsumption. In addition, it may be necessary to prevent theft.
Baracking of open sites, areas of the site where expensive equipment is located, entrances / exits. So many places that it can be interesting to control, to be notified in case of intrusion or presence.
Small equipment (drills, wheelbarrows, compressors, …) is of great interest to thieves. It is also possible that this material is lost. In addition, it may happen that it is not in perfect working order. In any case, a precise management of the small equipment makes it possible to optimize the running costs, to limit the expenses and the technical unemployment linked to the absence of a good equipment on site.
Locating staff on site, especially on dangerous sites, can help limit personal injury, and can quickly intervene in case of problems. Combined with automatic attendance, the location of men allows better management of its staff.
