INDUSTRY 4.0

It is a proven reality that all sectors of Western economies are transforming their businesses from analogue to digital environments. The industry, far from being immune to this transformation, is a sector in which the digitization will mark great differences between the competitive capacities of some companies and others, to such an extent that companies that are not permeable to the new technological reality are bound to disappear.

Industry 4.0 sets the frame of reference or digital excellence that should guide the sector’s investments in the coming years. Companies, thanks to full real-time connectivity and remote diagnostics, will be able predict, not just react. This will give them a competitive advantage based on the ability to anticipate their consumer’s decisions, logistics and operation needs, so they will deploy flexible and agile business models that will allow them to safely displace traditional businesses and lead their markets.

Nobody questions that concepts like Big Data, M2M or Internet of Things, and Services in the cloud will play a crucial role in the journey from analog to digital.

There are sub-industries that are acting as “early adopters” such as the health sector with telemedicine. However, many others are finding it difficult to extract value and monetize investments so they are more reactive.

Neteris’s approach to helping the latter is to identify the most common problems in the industries in which we develop our services and deploy solutions tailored to the realities of our clients. If we take as a reference that 50% of the stops that occur in manufacturing lines are identified when they occur or that 4 out of 10 manufacturing managers do not have visibility in real time of what happens in their factories, we will understand the potential technology available today.

In the following sections we explain our vision and the added value of each of them, to help understand how they will set the agenda for the industry’s investments over the next 5 years.

The use of these trends raises a major paradigm shift, as companies will not compete with each other, but will compete in ecosystems of companies with different business models. And that is where Industry 4.0 will play a key role in the horizontal cohesion between the different players of the value chain. Each piece focuses on being excellent in what it does and technology is what brings them together.

That is why, at Neteris we want to give answers to current and future difficulties. Our scope of action is multisectoral, and through our NIDA (Neteris Insights, Diagnostics and Actions) methodology we can find out what you need and which solutions best fit the reality of your company.
