A&D Manufacturing Takes on Industry 4.0

whitePaper | May 13, 2023

Across every major industry segment, the application of advanced digital technologies and Industry 4.0 capabilities offers manufacturers powerful new capabilities to enable flexible production, improved product quality and real-time insight into the performance of their operations. However, these factories and production lines aren’t built by themselves. Designing, engineering and building these advanced systems demand intense investment in time, resources and know-how to solve some of the world’s most complex technology challenges.

For the better part of a decade, manufacturers have made significant strides to drive efficiencies, boost agility, and improve product quality by implementing data-capture sensors and analytics systems. Now, they are capitalizing on that foundation to optimize interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data to further enhance production outcomes and improve worker safety and well-being.

The manufacturing and production sectors grapple with significant challenges arising from component failures, which often lead to disruptive operational interruptions. The economic impact of such disruptions can be profound, with every downtime minute potentially translating into thousands of dollars in lost revenue. While regular and planned maintenance can somehow mitigate these unplanned downtimes, they are unable to completely assure against potential component failures.

This white paper takes a fresh look at the vision for Industry 4.0 and suggests ways in which to take advantage of the broad view of the concept. Implementations of Industry 4.0 have mostly focused on using new technologies for economic benefits. Sustainability and social aspects have received less attention, despite their importance and potential for economic benefit as well, as we will show.

Traceability, the ability to identify and trace the product, process, operator, context, and detailed quality and component supplier and lot information for every item that moved through manufacturing, is a must-have for manufacturing success. A robust traceability framework that envelopes the total process, product, and material traceability, is a critical component for manufacturers facing stringent regulations while seeking to reduce the overall cost of compliance.
