The factory of the future, digital factory, digital factory, or factory 4.0… the terms are numerous to speak of modernization of the industrial tool. These evolutions are made possible thanks to new key technologies such as IoT, big data, artificial intelligence, or augmented reality
And at the same time, tomorrow’s plant is much more than technology. It is a different way of organizing work to optimize its production process and anticipate hazards. So technology is a tool, but what key organizational needs does it address?
Your objective n°1 : To rely on reliable and quality documents to manufacture
Did you know that?
“42% of companies report information loss along the value chain” and “55% of companies waste time coordinating teams and process steps”.
(source: Dassault Systèmes – Bpifrance on the digitalisation of SMEs and industrial ETI in France)
And yet, the production plant must perfectly master all the documents to be able to manufacture correctly!
How’s it going today?
The design office sends many emails to the production unit, you end up with a whole bunch of different versions, you lose certain elements, as soon as an update is to be made, you have to copy it on all documents, make sure that all stakeholders have the same version, updated, and validated… what a waste of time! In addition, this represents a significant risk for quality…
Tomorrow, how will it be?
All services (from design to production) will have a single reliable source of information, updated in real time, thanks to a transversal collaborative information infrastructure.
The benefits?
Everyone has the same information, thanks to digital, coordination costs are reduced…
