Smart Connected Assembly Empowering the vision of Industry 4.0

Be summa nefits six pill rized in the ars of v alue To illus trate an d You want a total solutions provider The industry is rapidly changing. New challenges are emerging, and new benefits of smart connected assembly are arising. Giving you the tools to maintain quality control in complex production systems, and increase uptime in production critical operations. This evolution of the assembly process is driven by the Industry 4.0 – The fourth industrial revolution: the digitalization of manufacturing and assembly. By combining the right tools with the right software – you can manage...

Increased tool uptime to 99,5% Increase tool up-time from 98% to 99,5%, by combining a traditional approach for preventive maintenance, with a more data driven approach for predictive maintenance. The maintenance tasks are determined by the condition of the equipment – rather than the average or expected life statistics. Thanks to the dramatically improved data analytics capability, and the sophisticated maintenance models, the repair can be scheduled at a time that minimizes the impact on production.

15% reduction in defects By integrating applications for part verification and documentation, operator guidance and pick-to-light solutions, you can achieve a reduction in defects and rework Correct parts - in the right quantities by 15%. The operator guidance application visualizes all process steps and data, to direct the operator through the assembly process. And with the help of a pick-to-light system, the selection of the correct parts - in the right quantities - is ensured for versatile production processes.

Costs for introduction of new products down 57% Introducing new products often requires adding or moving production equipment around. However, the use of Virtual Stations brings the cost for new product introduction down by impressive 57%. This by decentralizing and virtualizing control logic, processes and operations. New products can now be added or moved without re-allocating or commissioning of new hardware. A simple software configuration change is all it takes.

First time through increased to 98% to.46.Z5.i60 ■ Tightening cwnroiier MISSIS l!»i£ui Improved productivity by 73% First time through, increased from 92,5% to 98% in one year with a structured data analysis process. This improved productivity is achieved through fewer reworks, higher end-product quality and maximum uptime on the assembly line. Just a few of the many benefits offered by smart process monitoring and analysis software like Atlas Copco ToolsNet. Enhancing the capability to monitor, document, analyze, and improve the assembly process. Problems are identified and rectified by...

» Enhanced Operator Guidance Human Factors – 30% reduction in training Smart integrated software solutions offer enhanced operator guidance, resulting in fast recognition of rework process, traceability in assembly and manual operations, error proofing, data analysis and plant monitoring. So when introducing a new model or changing the assembly process – you have a reduced amount of operator training require

Meet Environmental Policies. 80% Reduction in energy use Multiple wireless tools running on one virtual assembly process controller, leads to a significant reduction in energy use. Recent studies indicate that up to 80% of energy in a typical industrial environment, is consumed when the equipment and tools are in standby mode. For factories powered by wind and solar, reducing energy consumption is more than a cost reduction, it’s a necessity to meet environmental policies.
