adesso is expanding its wealth of experience in digitalisation in relation to plant and mechanical engineering to include manufacturers within the scope of a new organisational unit. Its new Manufacturing Industry business area will see adesso take on specialist digitalisation projects in manufacturing, an industry that is facing huge challenges moving forward with the advent of Industry 4.0. Digitalisation requires consistent networking of machines and systems. This is the only way to achieve the desired level of data exchange across the whole manufacturing process chain.
adesso is perfectly placed to lay the foundations for change with its expertise in relation to the internet of things (IoT). IoT platforms allow machines, equipment and sensors, as well as users and service providers, to be connected intelligently so that they can communicate. This allows a range of services to be provided, including asset and device management, connectivity and identity management.
Other benefits for the manufacturing industry include opportunities associated with cyber-physical systems, mechanisms that combine machinery with software components, which allow production processes to be operated at a high level of autonomy and with minimal error rates. For instance, adesso systems can help to cut rejection rates to an absolute minimum in the use of high-quality materials. Manufacturing processes that are tailored to precise needs using software help save resources and increase profits.
