Industry Solutions
Industry 4.0
Bringing shop-floor data into the systems that plan and cost production, so decisions rest on what is actually happening.
The business problem
What this solution addresses
Production data sits in machines and paper logs while planning happens in spreadsheets. Problems are detected after the shift, and the true cost of a run is known weeks later.
Connect plant, systems and data to make manufacturing visible, predictable and efficient.
Outcome-led
Scoped around the result you need, with success measures agreed before delivery starts.
Delivered in phases
Usable value within the first quarter, rather than at the end of a long programme.
Secure by design
Access control, encryption and audit built into the design rather than added afterwards.
What is included
What Industry 4.0 includes
The components of a typical engagement. Scope is agreed per client rather than fixed.
Machine connectivity
Data acquisition from equipment and controllers via industrial protocols and edge gateways.
Production visibility
Real-time output, downtime, cycle time and overall equipment effectiveness.
Predictive maintenance
Condition monitoring and failure prediction where sensor history supports it.
Quality analytics
Defect tracking, root-cause analysis and in-line vision inspection.
MES and ERP integration
Connecting shop floor to planning, costing and inventory.
Digital twin foundations
Process models for simulation and scenario planning.
What changes
Benefits you should expect
Written as outcomes rather than as figures we cannot substantiate for your organisation.
Downtime made visible
Accurate loss records show where capacity is genuinely being lost.
Earlier quality signals
In-line detection reduces scrap and rework caught only at final inspection.
Planning on real data
Actual cycle times replace estimates in scheduling and costing.
Maintenance by condition
Interventions occur when the equipment indicates need, not on a fixed calendar.
How we work
How we deliver Industry 4.0
A repeatable sequence, sized to the scope and risk of the programme.
Plant assessment
Equipment, controllers, existing data sources, network conditions and current losses.
Connectivity pilot
Instrument one line end to end to prove the data and the value.
Visibility layer
Dashboards for supervisors and management, with alerting on deviation.
Integration
Connect to MES, ERP, maintenance and quality systems.
Scale
Extend across lines and sites with standardised deployment.

Questions & answers
Questions about Industry 4.0
Cannot find what you need? Our team responds to technical and commercial questions within one business day.
Ask a questionUsually not. Older equipment can often be instrumented with retrofit sensors and edge gateways, which is far less expensive than replacement and delivers most of the visibility benefit.
On one line, instrumented end to end. A single line proves the data quality, the integration path and the value before capital is committed across the plant.
