Smart Automation

About

With our smart automation service, we make sure that you get the most out of your manufacturing plants. Thanks to our expertise in industrial automation and edge computing, we can optimise every part of your production processes from basic sensors to control applications.

What we do

From legacy and innovative hardware to advanced edge computing capabilities that prepare you for Industry 4.0 and beyond, here’s how we can help you automate your production sites:

• We leverage our extensive experiencein DCS, PLC and SCADA engineering to automate and optimise the foundation of your infrastructure.
  ‍
• Our approach guarantees that your system will be ready for the next steps when you are: advanced analytics, IIoT reference architectures, a Unified Namespace (UNS), … For more information, check out our industrial connectivity services.
  ‍
• Our process automation solutions support both continuous processes and discrete manufacturing processes like quality control, assembly, and packaging.
  ‍
• We can extend our offering with advanced edge computing capabilities. By leveraging local versionsof AI and ML solutions, your systems will benefit from predictive maintenance and anomaly detection without the security requirements of cloud computing.

‍

How we do it

We know that no two production sites are the same. That’s why we tailor our solutions to your specific needs. We offer our smart automation solutions as an accessible, standalone service. Whether you need traditional yet state-of-the-art hardware engineering, AI and ML-based edge computing, or both: we’ve got you covered.

The number of solutions and their level of detail will depend on your preferences. We work with a wide variety of hardware and software, yet we deliberately avoid exclusive partnerships with manufacturers. This allows us to choose the technology that best fits your needs and existing architecture, instead of forcing you to adapt to a particular system.

Why invest in smart automation?

There are numerous advantages of investing in smart automation, especially in the manufacturing industry. However, we’ve noticed not all companies have realised the value of their data and the potential of their systems yet. Especially in OT environments, we often hear statements along the lines of “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” or “never change a winning team”.

In the current manufacturing landscape, however, this is simply no longer true. If organisations want to keep up with or stay ahead of the competition, they will have to adapt as well. If you are willing to invest in smart automation, here's what you can expect: ‍

• ‍Increased efficiency: your processes will be faster and more efficient, reducing downtime and increasing productivity across your plant.
  ‍
• Improved quality: an increase in consistency and accuracy in processes will lead to higher quality products and satisfied customers.
  ‍
• Enhanced safety: by reducing the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace, automation makes your plants safer for your employees.
  ‍
• Cost savings: smart automation can help optimize labour costs, improve resource utilisation, and minimise waste, ultimately leading to significant cost savings.
  ‍
• Improved business outcomes: by summing up all these benefits, you can improve your operations, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition.
