INDUSTRY APPLIED "MANUFACTURE 4.0"

The 'Manufacturing 4.0' concept refers to the introduction of digital technologies in production processes.

Simple and easy.

For several years, the impact of the “Internet of things” (IoT) has been discussed in various industries such as energy or infrastructure under the concept of ‘Smart Cities’. Now it's time to talk about "Intelligent Manufacturing" or Manufacturing 4.0.

“Manufacturing 4.0” consists of the digitization of factory production processes through sensors and information systems that transform production processes in order to make them more efficient.

The new industrial revolution is the result of interconnectivity, communication and exchange of information between machines, processes, systems and people throughout the entire production chain. In this model, machines and processes interact with each other in a similar way as people do on social networks. And information is generated and transmitted, and relevant actions are communicated where appropriate.

According to the consulting firm Accenture, the fourth industrial revolution will be able to increase global production by up to 20% in the coming years, a trend that Mexico should be part of, and that is why we present industrial solutions for manufacturing 4.0 in Mexico.

Signaling, monitoring and wireless control of your manufacturing: Patlite signal towers

Improve your processes with wireless signaling tower monitoring.

The WD is a revolutionary, low-cost complement to the Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) system from Patlite signaling towers, which allows wireless transmission of operational data, while also providing physical, visual and audible indications. Acquire and visualize machine data in real time, regardless of its type or age, and/or to obtain a response from a remote operator. Predicting maintenance, identifying bottlenecks, and increasing overall equipment efficiency at the factory is now simpler than ever.

Monitor your machines over a data network.

WD transmitters easily attach to compatible Patlite signaling towers and allow wireless data transmissions to a WD receiver.

Through Patlite technology, optimize manufacturing 4.0 in your business and get the following benefits:

• Know the status of production operations and receive real-time updates to any changes.
• Check the production operation history in detail on a graphic display.
• Monitor the operating status of the entire production floor in real time.
• Check the operation history of each production unit on a graphic display.

Quality and metrology lab data administration: Mitutoyo

We present the principles of implementing a system where the measurement results of several Mitutoyo measuring instruments are stored and integrated as a quality information system.

Recording and storage of measurement results

Eliminate handwriting. Print the measurement data easily, providing the statistical calculation functions.

To enter the data to a PC

A keyboard signal conversion type data input device can take the measurement data directly to a spreadsheet such as Excel.

Wireless communication system for measuring tool: U-Wave Mitutoyo

Advance intelligent manufacturing with On-site measurement data adquisition and administration

The implementation of the U-Wave wireless system in the factory allows the collection of measurement data reliably from the inspection site for detailed analysis. Additionally, with the MeasurLink Statistical Control Software, quality management can be carried out through IoT (Internet of Things) considerably improving the competitiveness of the manufacturing site.

The U-WAVE system allows wireless communication with ease from a measuring instrument to a PC using the Digimatic protocol. The measurement functionality is improved by eliminating the long and uncomfortable cables that are usually required, while the friendly interface allows you to load the data in any software that accepts the input of the data from the keyboard, for example Excel * or Notepad. Receive the data from the U-WAVE-T and upload it to a PC via the USB connection

U-WAVE Fit

Compared to U-WAVE-T, U-WAVE FIT incorporates into slim measuring instruments as it is compact and thin and easier to operate.

Advantages of using U-WAVE

• Improves work efficiency. Enter the measurement data with a button, eliminate the job and write errors and manual capture.
• Centralized data management: Unified management of measurement data. With integrated quality visualization to manage the prevention of the appearance of defects.
• Effect of cost reduction. Easy to install on instruments with Digimatic output. Build a communication system at a reduced cost.
