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 into intelligent and interconnected systems.
It’s not enough to automate. You need to integrate, track, and continuously improve with intelligence.
🧩 Key Elements of Industry 4.0
| Technology | Application in Advanced Manufacturing |
|---|---|
| Industrial IoT (IIoT) | Connected sensors for real-time monitoring |
| MES Systems | Production execution with station/DUT traceability |
| Test Automation | Bench and jigs intelligent, automatic validation, database integration |
| Big Data and Analytics | Dashboards of FPY, CPK, OEE and failure alerts |
| Artificial Intelligence | Predictive diagnostics, pattern and deviation detection |
| Horizontal and Vertical Integration | Data flows from engineering to ERP and back to the production line |
⚙️ Practical Examples of Advanced Manufacturing
- Test stations with automatic data capture and validation via barcode
- Jigs with sensors that automatically validate presence, contact, and polarity
- Interface with MES for blocking/releasing out-of-standard products
- Automatic reports in PDF with logs and digital signatures
