2 years ago At Solulever, we deliver unique Edge platform, industry-specific solutions and services that simplify the digital manufacturing transformations. We are passionate about bringing the power of ‘Data at Speed’ to manufacturing and about bringing ‘Beauty’ to manufacturing systems. We deliver the promise of digital manufacturing through ‘Continuous Value Realization Programs’ leveraging our Edge platform and solutions.
According to recent studies, 463 exabytes of data will be generated each day on a global level, by the year 2025. This is a substantial increase of 2.5 exabytes as compared from 2020. This makes it evident that data boom is just going to explode further in the coming years, making it important for organizations to adopt a mindset that is data-driven. Manufacturers must recognize the ways in which they can make the best use of this data for a successful digital transformation. But what’s new in the space of smart manufacturing? Automation on the Hype Compared to the traditional automation, companies must move forward to adopt hyperautomation. The process requires the automation of maximum number of processes in the entire company. As easy it may sound, the technology can be slow-paced to be adopted. Yet, it renders great benefits as it holistically automates the entire organization as data silos are eliminated and business systems are integrated. Hyperautomation involves the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), streaming analytics, and process mining, as all are at its core. Implementing this OT-IT connectivity technology can help manufacturers have end to end automation at their plants which means unfolding higher levels of efficiency. Despite the great benefits, hyperautomation may not be easy to achieve as it requires connecting data with each point of the system, which could pose various challenges. Going Light on the Code Low-code software can be promoted to eradicate the need for extensive coding knowledge for an enterprise. This way, non-developers can make use of visual techniques and functions such as “drag and drop” to create a visual process, without needing to write heavy codes. As the world faces a huge skill shortage, especially in case of digital skills, a huge surge in demand for low-code would arise soon. Solulever, a Dutch Technology Start-up developed a low-code manufacturing intelligence and connectivity platform, Brabo to remove any incumbents in the path of adoption of Industry 4.0 platforms and technologies. Composable Business Any manufacturer that moves on the road of digital transformation must ensure a smooth digital user experience. As employees expect similar quality of UX, both at home and at work, manufacturers face the burn of competing with the UX of the well-established global tech giants. For a seamless user experience, the UX must be usable and simple, which can be easily developed even by the members external from the technical department. For this purpose, there can be a rise in the use of composable business models that are developed based on sets of modular, and interchangeable building blocks. Such business is prompted through easy and open application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs act as software intermediaries through which different applications can communicate. Pairing composable business with API, can allow non-technical staff to implement routine business processes. To prepare for the new digital technologies, manufacturers must show a willingness to be at the edge of innovation to gain a competitive edge.
