Industry 4.0 represents the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by the complete digitization of production, with integration between machines, systems, and real-time data. Advanced Manufacturing applies these concepts in practice, using smart technologies to optimize production processes. This new era connects autonomy, efficiency, traceability, and data-driven decision-making — transforming traditional factories
Production Engineering is the area responsible for planning, designing, implementing, controlling, and optimizing production systems — combining human, technological, and material resources to achieve efficiency, quality, and competitiveness. It operates directly at the interface between product development, testing, processes, logistics, maintenance, and quality management, being essential in Industry 4.0 and
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a key performance indicator (KPI) used to measure the actual performance of machines and production lines, considering availability, performance, and quality. OEE objectively shows how much of a machine's total capacity is being effectively utilized to produce good parts, within the planned time. 📊 OEE
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a modern industrial communication protocol, based on open standards, designed for secure, scalable, and platform-independent exchange of industrial data between devices, software, and corporate systems. It is the evolution of the old OPC COM/DCOM specification, offering unified, object-oriented communication compatible with Ethernet
Ethernet is a packet-based digital communication technology used for data transmission in local (LANs), industrial, and embedded networks. A widely adopted standard, it enables reliable, high-speed, and scalable connectivity between devices. In the industry, Ethernet is adopted both for automation, data acquisition, and real-time control, as well as for integration
Test software is an essential tool to automate, standardize, and record verification and validation processes in various sectors: industrial, scientific, laboratory, automotive, medical, aerospace, and technical services. Definition A test software is a program developed to control measurement instruments, execute automated test sequences, capture data, and generate reports reliably. It
