Lean Management and Big Data for the Future of Production

Lean Management and Big Data have a more and more relevant role for the future of production in the Industry 4.0. This is clear when you look at the last years of the industrial sector. Today companies aim – and manage – to increasingly reduce waste in the production process, thanks to the implementation of a more efficient, or leaner, system.

ESA Automation Solutions for the Integration of Mechatronics and Industrial Automation

If the goal is the production process efficiency, the integration of mechatronics and industrial automation is a vital step. For this reason, among ESA Automation’s main objectives we find the creation of an interconnected system among mechanics, electronics and informatics. Creating solutions for the Industry 4.0 goes beyond designing and manufacturing innovative and performing technologies. It also (and above all) means to make these products part of an integrated system at every level of the production chain.

Cyber Security as a Prerequisite for The Industry 4.0

How important is cyber security for the Industry 4.0? With the principles of efficiency and connectivity of the fourth industrial revolution, a different side of the coin rises: the danger of cyber attacks. Ideally, the Industry 4.0 requires a completely interconnected reality, but this same characteristic uncovers an unexpected vulnerability. Because with connectivity, the effect and impact of eventual attacks grow as well.

Lean Manufacturing and Its Evolution in Industry 4.0

Lean Manufacturing’s time has come or will it evolve with Industry 4.0? Experts have spent many hypotheses on this question. In ESA Automation, we believe in a future where lean production and Industry 4.0 not only can coexist, but are connected through an important bond.

Energy Management and IoT: the ESA Automation Solutions

Improving your company’s energy efficiency is not only a financial necessity, it is one of the key points of the Industry 4.0 and smart factory. That is why we need interconnected technologies that are able to monitor energy consumptions and, at the same time, play a part in their decrease. To answer this need, ESA Automation developed its line of energy management solutions.

Industry 4.0: the importance of automated and interconnected production

The Industry 4.0 has shifted the focus on the importance of automated and interconnected production. More accessibility, efficiency and ability to exchange big volume of data among themselves: these are, in fact, the most important characteristics to look for in production machines and technologies, both to be competitive and to keep up with the new industrial principles.

Industry 4.0: Big Data analytics and productivity growth

The steam engine in the nineteenth century, electricity at the beginning of ‘900, and automation in the 1970s. Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, technological advancement has driven productivity growth in industry. During the past years, we have witnessed a fourth and new wave of technological progress: the Industry 4.0, based on the rise of industrial digital technology.

The industrial PCs market: today’s trends and future objectives

The Industry 4.0 has pointed out and introduced new principles, like the IoT, and necessities that have shaken the dynamics of the entire sector, including the industrial Pcs market. New technological trends have emerged and most of all a transformation process has begun, which is destined to change the face of industry and of industrial automation.

Industry 4.0: the ESA Automation software solutions for company digitalization

What are the ESA Automation software solutions for company digitalization? System openness and interconnectivity according to a IoT logic, within a production plant, are among the most important principles of the Industry 4.0. and they are also the goals that ESA Automation wants to reach through its solution for industrial automation. Particularly, the software ones
