Industry 4.0 & IIOT
Industry 4.0 & IIOT
Industry 4.0 is a term used to describe the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing. It represents the fourth industrial revolution, following on from previous eras of mechanisation, mass production and automation, and the use of computers in manufacturing.
Digital and Physical System Integration
Industry 4.0 is characterized by the integration of digital and physical systems, the use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and 3D printing, and the increasing use of data analytics to improve efficiency, productivity, and quality in manufacturing processes.
Overall, the goal of Industry 4.0 is to create a more flexible, efficient, and intelligent manufacturing environment, with the ability to quickly adapt to changing customer needs and market demands.
Sustainable Automation Technology
Industry 5.0 adds emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility,
By using data analytics and real-time monitoring, ALPHR can assist its customers to quickly identify and address issues in the production process, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency. With a number of solutions available, ALPHR works closely with our clients to help advise and implement this technology seamlessly into our automation offerings.
