The industry's fourth revolution is marked by the seamless integration of cutting-edge digital technologies, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), big data analytics, and advanced remote connectivity.
Remote access to machines is the first step in an industrial connectivity solution. Imagine being able to diagnose machine issues anywhere in the world. It allows machine builders to provide more effective technical support and maintenance while reducing costs. Engineers and technicians can diagnose and resolve issues without the need to be physically on-site. This significantly reduces costs while greatly improving uptime.
Continuous monitoring of data collected by Ewon gateways allows immediate detection of anomalies and prevents failures. Analyzing data gathered from a builder's entire fleet of machines also helps identify signs of potential problems, paving the way for predictive maintenance. This enhances the quality and reliability of machines, leading to greater customer and user satisfaction.
Data collected from machines in service can be used to improve the design of future machines. It provides engineers with valuable insights to optimize performance and enhance operational efficiency.
Industry 4.0 opens new possibilities for machine builders in terms of service offerings by providing customized solutions tailored to the specific needs of clients. Thanks to IIoT, servitization is becoming an increasingly important revenue stream for industrial machine builders.
For a factory owner, the operational efficiency of machines is crucial. By optimizing production processes, industrial connectivity becomes a key element in this regard. Machine users can monitor performance in real-time and maximize efficiency.
Predictive maintenance, made possible by continuous data analysis, helps prevent breakdowns. For machine users, this offers a dual benefit: reducing unplanned downtime and lowering costs associated with emergency repairs. Moreover, well-maintained machines have a longer lifespan.
Properly functioning machines enhance the safety of operators in the workplace. When Ewon gateways detect a dangerous situation, operators receive an alert, allowing them to take appropriate measures to prevent an accident.
