Industry

You may be familiar with this: 20 different production machines from 13 different manufacturers, equipped with nine different control systems. This could be the heterogeneous landscape that has accumulated in your company over the last 25 years. How can you turn this into a digital factory? It's simple - with the first step: a consulting discussion with K-Businesscom.

IAI, IoT and Big Data - it is difficult to imagine anything concrete in these terms ... In order to give these trends physical space, K-Businesscom has created its own "Digital Factory" competence area; here K-Businesscom works in close cooperation with the technical universities of Vienna, Graz and Linz. From software to hardware, all the building blocks are developed and tested that customers need for a consistent end-to-end strategy in the direction of the Digital Factory.
Here we focus on the topic of Industry 4.0 and thus, because it is necessary, on how production can become urban again through clean technologies and increasing digitization.

Smarter and more efficient than ever before

The Digital Factory acts as an interface between man and machine, with a wide variety of manifestations. The trick is to

• understanding operational requirements,
• To capture data, link it in a meaningful way, and transform it
• into a value-enhancing, secure solution.

Many processes in manufacturing, setup and maintenance have so far often not been digitized at all or only partially. This means that a lot of potential is lost, because the networking of production systems and dynamic business processes enables process optimization, scrap reduction and more profitable manufacturing of products, and even individualized up to batch size 1.

Whether production, maintenance, quality assurance or supply chain management: solutions from K-Businesscom have long been used in diverse industrial processes.

Are you concerned about the shortage of skilled workers? But how can you respond to it? It's simple: with WorkHeld, the software platform for digital workflows or video and audio telephony via smartphone, tablet or data glasses in real time. In this way, work processes are guided and supported by specialists regardless of location. This means, for example, that a local technician can avoid traveling to Asia and instead instruct the customer's employees via data glasses. In the long term, this also offers opportunities for new business models for machine manufacturers, for example through billable service calls and virtual instructions for complex tasks. If problems arise, the specialists are just a phone call away and can help solve them.
