Technology and Industry 4.0: meeting the challenge with the right partner

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 has filled many pages recently, becoming a common word in the vocabulary of companies from any sector. In fact, its potential for improving productivity is immense. But we must remember that this concept includes dozens of very different technologies, each with different implications and results. The challenge for industrial companies is therefore to know their capabilities in detail and draw up a plan to transform production processes step by step.

There are many elements to take into account within this planning process, but it would be fair to say that preparing quotes is one of the most critical. The quote is like a map for a traveler - it marks the proposed route and, for a business to be managed effectively, this must be as close as possible to reality.
