As Industry 4.0 transforms the traditional industrial and manufacturing platforms into automated and interconnected systems capable of continuous autonomous improvement and automation which is powered by major advances in technology such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and connected devices on cyber-physical networks.

Advantages and benefits of Industry 4.0 are:

1. Increase in productivity: With the increase in automation and the capacity for continuous improvement. Efficiency will increase as smart manufacturing factories will have the capacity to predict and prevent downtime, to optimize equipment effectiveness and maintenance. The sensors will tell how many items are produced, how many of those items are defective, and also how much time it’s taken to produce them. Based on that, we'll be very specific about who needs training and what they have a training on. Therefore workers can become more efficient.

2. Scope for Innovation: Organizations are able to successfully launch new strategies and technologies as the data gathered from connected devices such as the Internet of Things, design teams will know what works and what doesn’t. Therefore this data will drive their innovation for new and improved products and systems.

3. Reduces Costs of production: Despite a large initial investment of money, time, and effort. Integrating digital technology into business ultimately payoffs and can be very interesting for those businesses who use data to make strategic decisions. Cyber-physical systems and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication help with gathering and sharing real-time data, monitoring, and quality control to reduce rework and wastage. Predictive maintenance is a term that is used to stop costly repairs and unplanned downtime. Therefore you will achieve lower operating costs, better uses of resources, lesser wastage, reduced quality issues, and less downtime.

4 Improve product quality: Real-time quality control allows you to get data points at every point of the production which will help to check how changing conditions affect the quality of the products. For instance how the changing heat levels affect the quality of the product or how different employees influence production. Over time, this information can help to reduce or even eliminate, customer returns that may occur when the products don't meet the necessary specifications.

5 Faster response to customer needs: With the ever-changing customer needs which are faster than many industries can keep up with. The desire for new designs every few months, new features, and new technology. Industry 4.0 is built for this agility so that you can respond to market dynamics faster than the competitors. So without a significant cost increase. The advanced manufacturing processes and rapid prototyping allows the customer to order a unique product.

6 Safety in production: Improve safety by increasing automation. Real-time monitoring and Augmented Reality devices help increase safety in production plants and reduce physical demand for workers. In real-time analytics, you'll know immediately if one among your machines isn’t functioning properly. Therefore, continuous monitoring detects problems before failures occur, preventing stops in production and cautioning against dangerous situations. If problems are corrected quickly, both the safety and production improve.

The overall benefit of Industry 4.0 is that you’re getting the information you need to make the right decisions for your business with solid use of Collective Intelligence, integration of Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, and extensive data management. Solulever, a Dutch Technology Startup, is based on the principles of Industry 4.0 and delivers top industrial connectivity platforms to help manufacturers in taking up the digital transformation of their plant. Solulever's Brabo Edge Platform® is a platform that allows seamless connectivity to different tools and equipment on the shop floor. It performs data mashups that are therefore available to the event teams on a real-time basis. Ultimately Industry 4.0 technology helps to optimize all aspects of manufacturing processes, supply chain and makes manufacturing systems and services more agile, flexible, and with real-time data and insights we can make smarter, faster decisions about our business, which can ultimately boost the efficiency and profitability of the entire operation.
