4Industry is an application suite specifically designed for the manufacturing industry and asset intensive industries (i.e. Energy, Utilities and Resources). Using 4Industry you can improve asset productivity, reduce waste and improve your company’s bottom line result. At the same time, it allows you to reach a state of ZERO safety incidents, to safeguard your employees, societal and environmental well-being.
4Industry offers a comprehensive set of modules to drive continuous improvement. The workflows are based on best practice methodologies, like Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). It offers your workers a unified User Experience that can sit on top of existing legacy applications. This will provide full visibility in asset performance and access to all the work items that should be done to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). A simple to use mobile interface can be used anywhere (also off-line) to register deviations and make sure they solve them faster by using predefined countermeasures or easy to use checklists based upon your manuals, procedures and machine learning.
By analyzing the data from various sources (including IoT) across all your factories captured by 4Industry, you can detect frequently occurring problems and execute Root Cause Analyses. The consequence can be to plan preventive countermeasure, execute maintenance or change the configuration of your production line. The result: Improved asset performance against lower operating costs.
4Industry also provides modules for Safety, Environmental and Health. All your workers can register safety incidents, health risks or near misses. The cases are automatically classified by the smart classification system and assessments are send out to involved personnel to collect and classify any evidence for later reporting and analysis purposes. The Investigation module helps you understand what has happened and makes sure it doesn’t happen again. The Work Permit system helps you identify risks and hazards and makes sure your workers only work in area’s where applicable countermeasures have been applied. The result: A safer working environment.
- Native & Offline Mobile applications; 4Industry provides support for Apple IOS and Android mobile (phones and tablets) devices. Main interface for your workers to interact with the platform. Offline available to make sure that they can use the applications even in spaces where no WiFi or connection is available.
- Daily Control Systems; Dashboards, ready-made for big screens to provide input for your DCS meetings. Show graphs, maps and Kanban boards to show what is happening on the shopfloor.
- Root Cause Analysis; Perform root cause analysis using 5Why approach with local teams and specialized engineers remote. Ask the 5 why questions, plan countermeasures, request corrective maintenance all from a single board.
- Knowledge; By importing and converting your procedures and manuals into the system, we aim to make manuals quick to read, actionable and smart. Making them smart ensures the correct knowledge is applied to any happening on your shopfloor.
- Easy to use interface; Give your workers an easy to use interface (mobile or web) to register their deviations, get instant feedback based on the knowledge base and previous solved deviations in the form of checklists to faster resolve the deviation.
- Integration; Using the connector solution easily integrate with your systems of records such as MES, ERP and APS to provide more value to the 4Industry product and vice versa.
- IIoT; Integrate with your IoT systems to collect data and enrich this data with context provided by 4Industry. This to provide actionable data in the form of tasks for your workers. Use the data to quicker solve root cause analysis, automatically plan preventive maintenance or automatically create deviations based upon anomalies.
- Assessments; Execute inspections on your equipment by creating smart forms for your workers and engineers. Use the data to determine maintenance. Or use the module to create witness interviews after safety incidents have occurred.
