Creating the Factory of the Future with 4.0 Solutions
Within the manufacturing industry, the complexity of production plants is steadily rising due to increasing product variances, product complexity, and pressures for production efficiency. Production systems must therefore now evolve rapidly and operate optimally, creating challenges for larger Industries and serious problems for SMEs without the needed expertise or sufficient resources to adapt new technical possibilities.
To meet these challenges, the European research and innovation project IMPROVE has developed novel data-based solutions to enhance machine reliability and efficiency. Innovative tools in the fields of simulation & optimization, condition monitoring, alarm management, and quality prediction provide manufacturers with a human machine interface (HMI) and decision support system (DSS) to ensure best possible user support.
