Industrial digital solutions
From equipment automation and Industrial Internet of Things to Smart Factory operation
Take your PCB production to the next level with our Digital Factory Suite (DFS). Our data-focused Industrial Digital Solutions utilize IIoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to transform decision-making, streamline processes, and improve operational efficiency. You can improve equipment monitoring, predict maintenance needs, and optimize your energy usage for a more sustainable production. DFS provides real-time insights that enhance product quality and reduce operational costs. Embrace the future of PCB production with DFS – optimize, sustain, thrive, and accelerate your transition to Smart Factory operation.
The Digital Factory Suite addresses critical industrial challenges such as operational efficiency, unplanned downtime, quality control, and environmental sustainability. By digitalizing factory operations across production, maintenance, control, and visualization, DFS enables manufacturers to optimize their processes and drive productivity to new heights. It is available as a cloud-agnostic and on-premises solution, ensuring scalability, accessibility, and regulatory compliance.
Key features of the Digital Factory Suite include:
- Condition monitoring: Tracks equipment performance through IIoT data, providing real-time insights into equipment health.
- Energy monitoring and optimization: Uses advanced models and algorithms to minimize energy waste and reduce CO2 emissions.
- Traceability: Ensures comprehensive production quality control and regulatory compliance.
- Remote service: Facilitates remote diagnostics and maintenance, reducing downtime and business interruption.
- Predictive maintenance: Uses machine learning algorithms to predict equipment failures and enable timely intervention.
With the ambitious worldwide goals to reduce the CO2 footprint of the PCB industry over the next few years, and electroplating accounting for 16% of the total energy consumption used in PCB manufacturing, optimizing energy consumption is becoming increasingly important. The DFS addresses this pressing need by providing tools for energy monitoring, optimization, and long-term energy savings strategies. The Digital Factory Suite is compatible with the latest generation of IIoT-enabled equipment. It can also be retrofitted to existing operational machinery, allowing manufacturers to upgrade their monitoring capabilities without replacing entire systems.
