The arrival of Industry 4.0 brings us the fusion of the physical world with the digital world and the possibility of developing intelligent and interconnected systems. The impact on the industrial environment will be transversal, with more visible effects on production, the value chain, the relationship with the customer and the business model.
The smart factory concept allows aligning management trends with emerging technologies. The most common immediate objectives are to reduce costs (automated stock management, predictive maintenance, forecasting tools), improve asset and process efficiency, increase quality and active monitoring of safety and environmental impacts.
An Industry 4.0 system is built on 4 sequential levels:
- Visibility (what?) monitoring of critical quantities.
- Analysis (why?) Examination of the data.
- Simulation (how?) decision tools.
- Autonomy (what now?) applications and services that do not require human intervention.
The system architecture includes sensors, connectivity, data, analysis tools and applications and services. 7seas has in-house expertise to fully design and implement these systems, or provide just one part to work with existing systems.
We stand out for our flexibility and technical expertise, which allows us to integrate equipment from different manufacturers on a single platform. Existing equipment and systems do not need to be replaced for digital transformation to become a reality. Our expertise in Retrofit is an asset that allows you to avoid large investments and shorten the implementation period.
What we do:
- Consultancy in the definition and implementation of a digital route.
- Industry 4.0 system architecture design.
- Full system implementation, with all hardware and software components.
How we do:
- Definition of long-term goals and ambitions.
- Pilot project definition.
- Strategy for large-scale implementation.
- Project management, including installation and training.
