Digital, IoT and IIoT

Industry 4.0 is compelling manufacturers to integrate new technologies, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, into their facilities and operations. We offer customers a unique blend of engineering design support, project management, vertical production capabilities and an ability to support digital product needs throughout the entire lifecycle, making us an ideal partner for your digital needs.

The Future of IoT and Digital Connectivity

By embedding sensors and other digital components into everyday products, manufacturers create connected, or “smart,” products that can communicate with each other and be controlled remotely. IoT-enabled products range from kitchen appliances to fitness trackers to industrial machines, and the market for these devices is expanding exponentially.

IoT devices collect data used to improve efficiency or monitor performance. Connected thermostats learn temperature preferences or requirements and automatically adjust accordingly. IoT devices are also providing customers with new services or experiences. As the IoT market grows, Nortech will continue to lead the industry with solution engineering and production capabilities, enabling your company to reach your specific digital objectives.

IIoT in Industry 4.0

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing manufacturing. By replacing manual inspection processes with AI-powered machine vision, smart factories are being created that can manage themselves and reduce manufacturing errors, saving time and money. By making it possible to collect and analyze data from all stages of production, IIoT is helping manufacturers optimize their processes, becoming more efficient. By collecting data on equipment performance, IIoT helps factories to identify issues before they cause problems, allowing for proactive maintenance, preventing downtime, and improving overall equipment reliability.

IIoT is also spurring advancements by allowing the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into manufacturing processes. Factories are utilizing AI-powered robots for quality control tasks and assembly line work. Keep ahead of the trends by partnering with an EMS provider with customizable solutions for next-generation data demands and architecture constraints.

Factory Automation Trends

Factory automation has been a key driver of efficiency in manufacturing for decades, but digital technologies are taking automation to the next level. With smart factories and Industry 4.0, manufacturing is becoming increasingly connected and data-driven.

Enabling predictive maintenance and self-optimizing processes, big data, and real-time visibility is leading to significant improvements in efficiency and quality. The cloud and artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly important role in this transformation, providing the power and flexibility necessary to support the complex data analysis required for smart factories.

Machine Vision Trends

In the last few years, machine vision technology has become increasingly prevalent across a wide array of diverse industries. One of the most significant drivers of this trend is the rise of smart factories. As more and more businesses adopt Industry 4.0 initiatives, they are turning to machine vision to automate tasks and improve quality control. Machine vision is also being used in an ever-growing number of robotics applications, from warehouse automation to surgical assistance. In the medical field, machine vision is being used for everything from diagnostic imaging to cancer detection. And camera systems equipped with machine vision are becoming more common in consumer and industrial applications. As these and other trends continue to develop, it is clear that machine vision will become increasingly important in a wide range of industries.

These machine vision trends will dictate the need to transmit more data across further distances with even higher reliability than currently available. Nortech Systems has already developed solutions that will help you meet the next generation of data and power transmission requirements demanded by these developing trends.
