Practical Industry 4.0 Integration
We scope your use case, assemble the right partners, and deliver integrated automation: data-driven, safe, and production-ready.
Industry 4.0:
“Smart” manufacturing: machines, sensors, software and people connected in one digital system. Data is collected in real time, algorithms support decisions, and equipment executes routine work automatically.
What “automation of manufacturing processes” means:
It’s moving manual, repetitive operations to “autopilot” using sensors, controllers, software and robots.
Typically this includes:
- Measure the process (sensors, cameras).
- Control equipment automatically (PLC, robots, intralogistics).
- Analyse data and adjust in real time (software/AI).
- Remove human error where it limits speed, accuracy or safety.
Examples: AI cameras reject defects automatically; AMRs move materials without drivers; the filling system doses liquids without sloshing; the conveyor self-adjusts speed to load.
What we do:
Search
for qualified leads at trade fairs and industry events where plants voice concrete automation needs.
Survey
the process, define the technical solution and an implementation plan.
Manage
the project and bring in vetted contractors for development, integration and commissioning.
Supply and configure software
partner products and our own modules — strictly for the required function.
Coordinate
vendors, timelines and budget as the single point of accountability.
This model enables projects to be delivered without the need for a large internal staff, through hands-on project management and a network of specialised contractors.
Solutions
- Digital Twins (Digital Twin Development): A high-fidelity virtual replica of equipment or a line for monitoring, testing and optimisation in the model before changes on the shop floor.
- Computer Vision (Machine Vision): Cameras + AI for automated quality inspection, sorting and closed-loop control from images.
- Autonomous Intralogistics (AGV/AMR): Robotic carts deliver materials with fixed routes (AGV) or dynamic navigation (AMR), operating safely 24/7.
- Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): Rapid prototypes and complex parts without tooling—ideal for small series and topology-optimised designs.
- Virtual Commissioning: Debug PLC/robot logic and verify scenarios on the digital model to shorten ramp-up and reduce start-up risk.
- Robots + Flexible Parts: Dynamics modelling and motion control so robots handle “soft” workpieces quickly and precisely (e.g., input shaping).
- Liquid Handling & Sloshing Control: Smart fill profiles and real-time valve/pump control for accurate dosing without splashes or product loss.
How a project runs
- Conversation and quick diagnostic of the task.
- Measurements/data → concept and cost estimate.
- Selection of software (partner + in-house) and implementers; detailed schedule.
- Pilot/demo on a narrow scope.
- Industrial deployment and operator training.
- Operations support and data-driven improvements.
