How can all data be seamlessly integrated in Industry 4.0?
Data acquisition is the process of collecting data from various sources. Industry 4.0 generates large amounts of data from sensors, machines and other sources. In order to be able to use this data, it must be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. This can be achieved with the help of digital twin software such as iiotecos or digital twin platforms such as CuttingEdge World or CCiiot.
What are digital twins and how can they help Industry 4.0?
Digital twins are virtual images of real products, systems and processes. They are fed with real-time data from sensors, systems and possibly other sources and thus enable the monitoring, analysis and optimization of their physical counterparts. In Industry 4.0, digital twins can be used to:
‍Optimize processes: By simulating different scenarios, weak points in processes can be identified and rectified.
‍Improve products: Digital twins can be used to develop new products and optimize existing products.
‍To open up new business models: Digital twins can open up new opportunities for providing services and creating value streams.
How can data visualization be used to make complex data in Industry 4.0 understandable?
Data visualization is the presentation of product data in the form of 2D and 3D graphics, diagrams and other visual elements. It can be used to make complex data sets clear and easy to understand. In Industry 4.0, data visualization can be used to:
‍Gain insights into production data: For example, events such as a tool breakage or the path curves of tools can be visualized.
‍Recognize trends and patterns: Data visualization can help to identify trends and patterns in the data that might otherwise remain hidden.
‍Communicate more effectively: Data visualization can be used to communicate complex issues quickly and easily.
With the Machining Analyzer, inno-focus offers a comprehensive and flexible software component for visualizing production data.
