Leveraging the transforming energy market

Industry 4.0 has revolutionized the way we see factories. The operations are increasingly digital and new technologies are constantly being developed to answer the need to improve processes, make better data-based decisions and optimize overall efficiency and productivity. The advantages of going smart are clear, but it is hard to follow the rapid changes in the industry and find the correct solutions with the limited resources that are used to maintain the current operations. 

With Etteplan’ s Smart Factory Solutions, we provide the latest knowledge on how to integrate the multi-layered new technologies into physical operations and the promise to ensure continuous efficiency. We see the big picture, master the large entities, and supply correct tools and guidance to our customers so that they can reach their optimal goals such as harsh growth targets, higher efficiency and productivity, optimized product quality and higher sustainability & safety.

FAQ
What do we mean by Smart Factory?

We define a Smart Factory as a factory where physical production processes and operations are combined with digital technology, smart computing, and big data to create a more opportunistic system for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.

The Smart Factory Elements make up a control loop. According to this control loop, production is planned (Planning & Scheduling) based on specifications from different sources and a plan is then implemented (Execution). The data collected is analyzed (Analytics) to make forecasts (Prediction).

Smart factories optimize efficiency and productivity by extending the capabilities of both manufacturing devices and people. By continuously improving the productivity of manufacturing processes, smart factories can lower costs, reduce downtime, and minimize waste.
