Digitized manufacturing

Big data, smart factory, automation, advanced analytics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Each term has meaning on its own, but Industry 4.0 is the common thread that ties them together in the new age of manufacturing. McKinsey ingeniously defines Industry 4.0 as the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector.

Used in industrial applications from auto manufacturing to electronics to mining, disruptive digital trends are changing the way manufacturers capture, use, and share data. A small sampling of business benefits: better decision-making that helps increase production efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality, and streamline all aspects of the factory and supply chain. There is data available for whatever piece of production information you want to know, just ask.

As digital trends gain momentum, Panasonic operates in the middle of the disruption. Helping manufacturers gain a leg up on their competition, our most advanced assembly tools push production forward at a faster pace.

Panasonic smart tools enable wireless connectivity with existing plant MES systems to gather important tool operation data. Make key decisions in real time and change tool settings on the fly to optimize efficiency and reduce human error on any application. Data analytics helps production teams gain greater visibility into processes and identify opportunities for continuous improvement and optimal asset utilization. 

Welcome to Industry 4.0, where communication and connectivity rule. Find out how Panasonic can help you join the next industrial revolution.
