ERL Sensors and Automation-Industry 4.0 readiness

Industry 4.0 Readiness Assessment

Industry 4.0 encompasses frameworks and architectures that integrate physical assets with digital technologies. Our readiness assessment follows a structured, independent process to gather evidence and evaluate the maturity level of Industry 4.0 implementation as a foundation. This comprehensive assessment examines both operational and business processes, aligning them with Industry 4.0 benchmarks and best practices. We also identify gaps and offer recommendations to help customers initiate, scale, and sustain their Industry 4.0 transformation.

Industry 4.0

is a transformative concept built on frameworks and reference architectures to digitally connect physical business assets. We employ structured, independent processes to gather evidence and objectively evaluate the maturity level of Industry 4.0 implementations. This holistic assessment of operational and business processes identifies benchmarks, best practices, and improvement opportunities to help customers initiate, scale, and sustain their Industry 4.0 journey.

Phase 1: Assessment

The first phase establishes a baseline for your current systems, capabilities, and gaps, assessing your Industry 4.0 status using a maturity level model.

✓

Assessment: We evaluate the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in two key areas: (1) core production and business processes, including sourcing and delivery, and (2) technology applications aimed at enhancing business excellence.
✓

Gap Analysis: Once the current state is established, we systematically map out the future state by identifying key opportunities for improvement, expected ROI, and cost estimates.

Phase 2: Roadmap

In this phase, we develop a customised roadmap tailored to your needs, identifying initiatives with the highest impact, goals, costs, ROI, and timelines.

✓

Customised Roadmap: We collaborate with you to define initiatives with the most significant potential, breaking them down into phases with clear goals, cost structures, and timelines.
✓

Business Case Evaluation: Each initiative is assessed based on a cost, risk, and benefit analysis, and the right KPIs are established to track the actual value Industry 4.0 solutions bring to your business.
✓

Technical Solutions: We recommend high-level solutions, technologies, and platforms, and develop a high-level digital architecture to integrate enterprise business systems, manufacturing operations, and automation controls.

Assessment Model

Our assessment model comprises five maturity levels. Each dimension is assessed individually against these levels, with an overall rating provided for the entire scope of the assessment.
