The Industry 4.0 model cannot ignore the data and the value it can generate. Connections via digital networks, organization and interpretation of information are the ways to obtain optimized production results through event analysis, preventive and predictive maintenance.
IMA Group has carried out various projects regarding the interconnectivity of machines, creating services and products capable of optimizing the user experience of the plants.
These ones include the Control Room services, designed to make the most of the data arriving from the machines and able to support customers in improving their production processes. Using the know-how of IMA, it becomes possible for the customer to receive detailed reports, specific alerts and general support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for taking charge of operational problems, with the aim of generating new technological solutions and improve production results.
Should anything unusual happen, automatic alarms are generated by the system to alert the Control Room operators. It thus becomes possible for the Control Room to promptly inform customers so that they can intervene immediately.
On a periodic basis, the Control Room will issue reports on how machines are performing, how they are used, if anything unusual has been noticed relating to certain parameters, material, products or external conditions, trying to identify trends which can help improving production processes.
In recent years, cyber security has become a dominant theme in the manufacturing world. Hacker attacks are increasingly frequent and put data, systems and people at risk.
The problem is now solved with A4GATE, the integrated hardware and software solution to protect data confidentiality, system operations and operator safety.
A4GATE is the safe place between your smart machines and external remote uncontrolled accesses.
Data Rooms, secure in-cloud environments where production data can be saved, are becoming an increasingly important element in the companies’ production strategy.
IMA Data Room is the in cloud protected and safe virtual space where all information are collected and stored through IIOT technologies and where the data analysis software programs reside.
IMA Sentinel is the platform to autonomously monitor machine conditions in real-time 24/7, collecting raw data and translating them into meaningful and valuable information.
Sentinel provides: Intelligent and dynamic action lists for the operator to help improve efficiency, machine data statistics for smart line harmonization, real average performance for accurate production planning.
Monitor whenever you are your installed base with IMA Sentinel.
