Technology that meets the growing demands of your customers and markets
And yet, they are expected to deliver faster and cheaper than ever before. Because in many cases that’s what their competitors are already doing.
So success often depends on how efficiently manufacturers can plan and manage projects and workflows.
Industry 4.0 offers your business a host of opportunities
IoT, 3D printing, cloud technology, 5G mobile networks, artificial intelligence, machine learning and Augmented Reality (AR) are just some of the technologies and solutions related to Industry 4.0.
It can be difficult to quantify the real benefits of investing in these technologies until the possibilities they offer are tested in practice. This means that Industry 4.0 technologies are perceived by many companies as exotic or just irrelevant. But with the right strategy and a IT business partner who knows them and understands your industry, the chances of seeing significant competitive advantages are high. The following are just some of the areas that most companies will benefit from taking a closer look at.
- Industry-specific ERP: ensures quality and profitability
- Manufacturing sensor data: limit production downtime instead of being surprised every time
- Machine learning: 11 areas in which machine learning can make a difference.
No matter how you look at it, Industry 4.0 will bring major changes for society and the business community. So how will your business keep up? How should you prioritize investment?
Global group optimizes production and sales around the world
CIO Sebastian Svärdebrandt on how Nord-Lock prepared for further expansion

The various subsidiaries and departments had different business systems, which made it difficult to implement a common analysis tool. In addition, it had no common CRM system. Last but not least, the group wanted to automate the entire value chain from quote to finished product.
In the video above CIO Sebastian Svärdebrandt tells how Nord-Lock has exploited the new technologies in Industry 4.0 to reach its strategic goals.
