With the evolution of Industry 4.0 and the focus placed on lean manufacturing, the contemporary smart factory is expected to have made the transition to a fully connected, flexible, transparent, and maximally automated system. The realm of legacy industrial machines and industrial automation systems is becoming increasingly obsolete as companies are consolidating knowledge and insight and integrating legacy devices into novel IoT infrastructures.

Manufacturing and industrial technologies are major drivers of societal wealth. In 2019, the manufacturing sector accounted for two million enterprises, €2,078 billion in gross value added, and 32.1 million jobs in the EU-27 area.1 The European economy is highly dependent on the manufacturing industry and exporting of manufactured goods. Around 10 percent of all enterprises in the EU’s non-financial business economy are classified as manufacturing.2 The transition of societies to climate neutrality and circularity pushes for changes in operations and creates new business opportunities for companies. Markets are shifting towards green products and services to meet conscious consumers’ needs and comply with the new and upcoming EU regulations that strive to reduce net greenhouse emissions by at least 55% by 2030.3

Identifying problems before they cause equipment failure and costly, unplanned downtime is the purpose of proactive and predictive maintenance programs. And one of the most reliable ways of catching problems before they become failures is to detect when a piece of equipment is beginning to operate outside of its normal parameters – especially if it is beginning to run too hot or too cold. Variations from normal heating are often the first signs of impending equipment failure, so frequent thermal inspections of critical equipment such as motors, belts, and drives not only helps extend the life of these assets, but keep your entire operation up and running normally

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses. Here, new insights were gained into the composition of alloys in order to achieve a better glass forming ability and thus enable larger components. While the first amorphous alloys usually consisted of two elements, the currently most promising amorphous alloys often consist of four to five elements. Occasionally zirconium-based alloys show the best glass-forming ability, with which the largest component dimensions can be realized.

Minimizing downtime and increasing production efficiency is one of the main goals of an effective maintenance strategy. Knowing the working hours, operating parameters, and consumption of one’s assets is the starting point for identifying operating conditions, studying their behavior, finding anomalies, and understanding the reasons for individual downtime. In this way, using different algorithms, it is possible to achieve the ideal strategy

In today’s manufacturing companies, CAD, PLM and ERP solutions are traditionally implemented as stand-alone solutions, which each has its own data structure, interface and capabilities to fulfill Engineering, Operations and Manufacturing requirements respectively. However, with the rise of Industry 4.0, for manufacturers to stay competitive they must be able to implement solutions that interconnect information and processes not only across the internal enterprise and departments but external partners and suppliers as well.
