Automated and digital transformation

Major challenges - even greater opportunities: What does automation and digital change entail?

Automation is leading to profound changes in processes and structures. Many companies expect a recognizable added value in the medium to long term, and digitalization is also part of the business strategy of 47 percent* of industrial companies (*according to the benchmark study "Digitization Index for Medium-sized Companies 2018" by techconsult GmbH).

With regard to Industry 4.0 processes and machine-to-machine communication, the use of numerous sensors will be essential in the future. It is necessary to obtain, collect and evaluate comprehensive data of the tools, tool holders and tool turrets used. Intelligent sensor networks are the key to success here, enabling the manufacture of first-class quality products with high reliability and absolute precision at maximum speed.

The time window to make a correct and profitable decision is getting smaller and smaller. In order to support the gut feeling of the decision maker, various data must be prepared and evaluated extremely quickly. If you only start to care about the data when a decision is due, the window for the right and proditable decision is usally already closed.

With the opportunities that change brings, the main focus must be on supporting and relieving the employees.
