What are IoT (The Internet of Things) and Industry 4.0?

The Internet of Things (IoT) entails connecting billions of devices through the internet to collect and share data. These connected devices communicate over the internet and can be monitored and managed remotely.

Many homes already have Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as thermostats, connected to the internet, allowing homeowners to control them via smartphones.

This thermostat can connect with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the house and send information to the homeowner, no matter where they are.

The security system at home links a variety of sensors to the internet, including door and window sensors, motion detectors, and cameras. This makes it easy for homeowners to monitor their home while away on vacation.

Industry 4.0 represents the fourth phase in manufacturing, transforming the manufacturing process through the integration of digital technology.

The Industrial Revolution

Industry 1.0, utilized water and steam power to enable mass production. The second revolution was characterized by the rise of electricity in manufacturing, while the third revolution was propelled by the widespread adoption of computers and automation.

In Industry 4.0, using IoT technologies in manufacturing has significant implications. An individual in a control room can oversee and manage entire sections of a manufacturing plant.

Thanks to sensors monitoring machines and providing important data to the central control room, labor costs are decreased, safety is improved, and operations can run uninterrupted 24/7.

Computers have transformed the manufacturing industry, allowing interconnected systems to communicate and make autonomous decisions without human intervention.

As we enter deeper into the age of Industry 4.0, we can anticipate an amalgamation of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and Internet Systems, resulting in an advancement where intelligent machines reach a higher level of sophistication.

Due to the interconnectedness of manufacturing machines, a substantial amount of data can be utilized to provide the maintenance department with updates on performance.

Analyzing data helps identify patterns

Industry 4.0 offers manufacturers the opportunity to improve their operations quickly by rapidly identifying areas that need attention, thus making processes more efficient. These tasks would take humans significantly longer to perform.

Minimizing Errors and Reducing Waste.

Management can assess every component of a manufacturing system to ensure optimal performance. Instant machine updates can automatically be applied without delay to increase productivity while minimizing energy consumption.

Benefitting from Jarltech's solutions.

Through the use of IPCs, industrial automation, and machine automation technologies, along with hardware-software integration and other solutions, the development of Industry 4.0 can be facilitated. Jarltech has successfully completed three strategic phases to realize the implementation of Industry 4.0.

In the initial phase of implementing equipment connectivity, we connect devices, machines, production lines, and factories to the system. This facilitates the achievement of data transparency and visualization of information.

During the second phase, we will implement data collection and integration, as well as offer value-added products and services to improve smart manufacturing capabilities.

The final step in intelligent innovation services requires activating sophisticated machinery and performing comprehensive big data analysis.

To achieve these goals, Jarltech has created and implemented networked solutions for intelligent factories that integrate automation and cloud innovation for Industry 4.0.
