These data can include information such as machine run times, downtimes, production quantities, quality parameters, and material consumption.<\/p>\n
Industrial companies are feeling an increasing pressure to adapt themselves to the changing environment. Medium-sized companies in particular are currently facing a wide range of challenges. At the same time, these changes offer enormous opportunities and potential. In order to remain competitive in the future, small and medium-sized enterprises must reposition themselves and face the challenges.<\/p>\n
Implementing digital solutions can help companies streamline business processes, increase productivity, and open up new business areas. The step towards a digital future is not too far. The key to increased efficiency and thus increased profit lies in the networking and use of information that is generated daily in every company. The collection of this operating data is a prerequisite for the automation of production control and thus a central step on the way to a smart factory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
