Industry 4.0: What it impacts on business

In the constant search for innovation that we process and for new ways of optimizing or working, we must always be present in companies that lose their market. As is the case, or the technological technology used, the most different industrial sectors became so large that they ended up creating a fourth industrial revolution, also made with Industry 4.0.

This council, created in Germany in 2011, in general, unites all the automation technologies and tools developed in recent years, not an industrial sector that aims to optimize work, improve results and increase the profitability of organizations. In this way, it seeks to connect all the assets, machines and systems in the industry, creating an intelligent network that, in a way, becomes self-sufficient to manage the necessary operations. 

Therefore, we are not trying to do simple human work with robots and sims, a technological leap that allows you to perform increasingly complex functions weekly in the presence of a worker. Its algorithms can apply a quality speed that was unimaginable.

So follow the basic principles of Industry 4.0, what impact it can have on industrial dynamics, and how Massa are partners in the automation process.    

The Principles of Industry 4.0 

• Decentralization: in addition to receiving information and requests from other systems that make up the organization's computational architecture, as well as machines managing their own data, which makes it possible or works in a decentralized manner for each operation module. 
• Modularity: two main objectives of the fourth industrial revolution and to promote a closer approximation between existing demands and production, facilitating the customization of each product. This move aims to become a more flexible production process, bearing in mind that there is no need to make large-scale changes in the production chain.   
• Real-time operation: with Industry 4.0, or the control of industrial activities, you get great help, real-time operation. It is no longer necessary to make many adjustments in the production chain, because more flexible work units have been established.   
• Service orientation - Due to the control of all operations in a virtual way, it is possible to schedule certain decisions to happen automatically following the momentary needs of production. The gain in integration becomes even greater in the industry. 
• Virtualization - All activities are now controlled via the internet with the help of sensors spread throughout the factory. With this, it becomes possible to describe in detail each process that occurs in the production chain, helping to detect possible failures and the need for adjustments, saving time and resources.  

Impacts on industrial dynamics 

Obviously, due to so many changes brought about, Industry 4.0 has a strong impact on the dynamics of industrial organizations. Perhaps the first is to modify existing business models, changing the way each product is produced on a large scale. 

This change, in part, is generated by the change in the consumption of each product. Customers not only want something that solves an existing problem, but it also needs to be functional, practical, and consistent with their lifestyle. In other words, companies must strive to offer increasingly specific solutions for each customer.  

A second point of perceptible impact of the fourth industrial revolution has a direct relationship with workers and the demand for labor. At first, what can be noticed is that there is a reduction in the need for manual and repetitive activities, drastically reducing the need for workers for these functions. 

However, it must not be said that "technological development" is taking place, since this Industrial Revolution has been taking place since the First Industrial Revolution. In any case, it can be noted that the changes, today, are occurring much faster, which prevents workers from keeping up to date. 

To get an idea, according to a study by Dell Technologiesit is predicted that 85% of the professions available in 2030, have not yet been invented. Therefore, several rows may be obsolete, but several are appearing on the market to occupy the remaining spaces.  

Massa Pesagem: your company prepared for the future with quality and security 

In order for your company to really join industry 4.0, it needs to have the latest technology, such as that offered by Massa Pesagema reference company in railroad scales and industrial automation , a reference company in railroad scales for industrial automation for more than 15 years. With a constant focus on technological innovation and the improvement of processes carried out, the company offers the best solution for its business.

Therefore, more than offering a simple weighing path for your company, Massa can, with the implementation of smart lines, make your organization profitable, a key factor for the Industrial Revolution. With these tracks, it is possible to weigh the cars dynamically, increasing the speed of loading and unloading loads.

The motion rail scale uses the most advanced technologies for digitalization of signs, which are still carried out on the weighing track, without compiling the data and if you can access the management system through the browser from any computer with access to the red, however, there are ways of exchanging weight data using technologies such as WebService, OPC protocols, among various other forms of communication at the TA or IT level.

The scales can add technologies for the automatic reconnection of the code of the cars in motion, being used by Massa the OCR, who captures the code of the cars through an image of the same, and also with the use of RFID , whence the wagons are instrumented. with transponders and a teaching antenna, it is installed together with the BFD that will automatically capture the code of each wagon as it is weighed in motion. These auxiliary sound systems and have a great result in the management of trains, stock, rolling stock and other information.

The functionality of the solutions offered by Massa Pesagem goes much further, transforming your business into a company that uses industry 4.0 for your profit. Contacting now with a team of experts clicking here and know more.
