Equipment Consulting
World is moving towards Industry 4.0 to Industry X.0 which means adaptation of advanced technology for operating industrial machinery. Before the Second World War, machinery was generally large, rugged and relatively slow running, with basic control systems and instrumentation. Nowadays, machineries are equipped with all kinds of sensors to read out data. This data is already used in regular processes like GPS tracing, real-time consumption or, to automatically generate a service call during trouble/breaks down etc. All these sensors are generating vast amounts of data that can easily be stored in the cloud server and can be accessed by mobile apps. By the help of algorithms, the Machine can be trained & learned to find new relationships between all this data. The most interesting addition to this way of working will be Artificial intelligence, allowing these algorithms to do the training and data analysis entirely by themselves. This way of data analysis can result in completely new and unexpected insights, allowing the OEM/Service dealer to be more efficient and serve their customers from a new perspective. New age machineries are target oriented, smart enough to work autonomously and command dependent. The next revolution may create machines to learn the command and take decision accordingly to achieve the goal.
