Industry 4.0: The Future Of Your Production Tool
The migration to Industry 4.0 allows a company to benefit from technological advances and technical progress in work organisation. The interconnected factory 4.0 emphasises the interaction between operators, employees and products. According to forecasts, 600,000 direct and indirect jobs will be affected by Industry 4.0 in France by 2025. It will also create up to 60 billion in added value.
New technological advances enable industries to meet the ever-increasing needs of their customers in terms of product price, quality and quantity. They must now be able to increase their productivity, ensure the quality of their products and develop customised products.
With Factory 4.0, you will benefit from
- Better operational efficiency, thanks to the modernisation of your production tool and maintenance operations;
- Increased production and reduced production costs by automating repetitive and low value-added tasks;
- Optimisation of product quality, due to the reduction of human errors.
For these and many other reasons, Industry 4.0 appears to be the future of production tools. Despite its many advantages, however, this innovative solution is not without risks.
Managing The Risks Of Industry 4.0
There are many risks that need to be analysed and controlled in Factory 4.0:
- Human risks resulting from the implementation of new production tools;
- Technical risks corresponding to the deployment of new technologies;
- Organisational risks, caused by the use of new technologies;
- Digital risks: the company may become a prime target for various forms of attack such as ransomware, phishing, denial of service attacks, etc.
To control the risks of Industry 4.0 and to take advantage of the transformation to Industry 4.0, it is useful to establish a clear and precise roadmap:
- Technical control of equipment: make sure you control the safety and performance of new equipment;
- Include the human factor in the migration: consult staff, train them to use the new tools correctly;
- Control the consequences on the organisation, or more specifically on maintenance, workstations, procurement, etc;
- Prevention of risks related to the use of new equipment: assessment and prevention of MSD and psychosocial risks.
