Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, is profoundly changing the way companies manufacture, improve, and distribute their products. By integrating new technologies, analytics, AI, and machine learning into their production facilities, operations can be more accurate and productive, ultimately transforming into a Smart Factory.
Smart Factories drive leaner, more productive smart manufacturing processes with higher resource efficiency, which reduces waste, extends machine equipment lifecycles, and improves working conditions for employees. As we tackle climate change, the Smart Factory plays a crucial role in facilitating the transition to a low-carbon society.
Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory is our reality
Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory go hand in hand. Imagine using technology that collects and analyzes tightening data throughout the life cycle of your product program and, therefore, can predict process errors and tool failures, recommend an optimal maintenance plan, and reduce your production costs.
With Atlas Copco, this vision of smart manufacturing has become a reality. We're making Industry 4.0 technology that provides valuable insights from previous production programs in the data it generates. Transitioning to smart manufacturing can increase uptime, reduce defects, lower introduction costs, improve productivity, reduce training times, and even improve energy use.
