INDUSTRY 4.0 - SVEN FRIEDLI
DID YOU KNOW ...
“ In a production company like ours , industry 4.0 is key , which is why we built up a central team called smart technology to strongly push this initiative . The goal of the team is to learn from partners , to understand what kind of opportunities new technologies are bringing , and to define and align groupwide standards to build up a common collaboration ecosystem . It is also important , that the team ensures an open collaboration and communication across all companies and locations to share their needs , challenges , and achievements made to learn from each other .
“ We ’ re on our way to optimise our demand forecasting and demand planning at our sites , with weather forecasting , customer behaviours , and information about seasonality . By doing this you can optimise your planning to ensure that you can fulfil the needs of your customers and also reduce your costs in the production process . When it comes to cloud technology , we are currently trying to get the most out of our use of Microsoft 365 , as a cloud platform we are focusing on Azure . But the cloud transformation is also pushed by using several software-as-a-service ( SaaS ) solutions to bring value to our process chain .”
