Unautomated manufacturing plants are seedbeds of chaos and inefficiency. Burdened with aging infrastructure, they are prone to losses. The idea of connected manufacturing or smart factory is becoming increasingly pervasive. Without responsive, agile, connected and real-time information backbone companies are finding it increasingly difficult to anticipate failures, enforce quality checks and cost-cutting measures, and take corrective actions. The aim is to reap benefits and improvements in efficiency and profitability, increased innovation, compliance and better management of safety, performance, and environmental impact.
Not a Utopia but Reality
Reports peg the smart factory industry to touch USD 215 billion by 2025 and there is no major economy in the world that is not embracing it. “With too many failure points and lack of digitization of their core competencies, modern day factories find it very difficult to organize their production,” says Vijay Apsangi, Founder and CEO of iD4 Realms. Based in Pune, India, the company started operations in 2008, with the focus to aid ailing healthcare enterprises and manufacturing units revive by leveraging digital automation. Today the firm’s flagship Smart Connected Factory Platform, iPROD, helps manufacturing enterprises to embrace digital transformation and seamlessly integrate their business operations, equipments, processes, workforce, and legacy systems. The aim of the platform is to connect business units with a digital backbone, let businesses reduce waste and organize production flows. Designed as per plug-and-play framework, iPROD solutions can be deployed in-premise, or hosted on a public or private cloud. Many manufacturing units continue to use Excel and spreadsheets, or rely on paperwork, that translates into inefficiency. The iPROD platform helps such companies automate processes, enabling them to take a quantum leap from manual reports on plant updates to dynamic reporting, real-time reporting dashboards and smart infographics.
