As a system integrator, building Industry 4.0 applications requires intensive coding and ‎extensive man hours with a consequent high cost. At times, the cost to implement these ‎applications is so high that it discourages the customer from implementing Industry 4.0 ‎solutions. ‎
During this presentation, you will learn how to implement a complete Industry 4.0 ‎environment using IOhub™ to communicate with different machines, auxiliary equipment and ‎software typically present in a factory floor. ‎

The example presented during this presentation simulates an extrusion company with multiple ‎sites that integrates the ERP with production machines and auxiliary equipment, automatically ‎generates vendor POs, launches production orders based on customer POs, visualizes ‎production order schedule, controls the extruder output and sends notifications to customers ‎on production order status.‎

The solution introduced during the session will require no coding and uses available pre-‎configured modules already present in IOhub™.‎

In just 45 minutes, you will learn:‎
‎●‎ How IOhub makes the implementation of Industry 4.0 simple and flexible.‎
‎●‎ How to connect multiple sites under one IOhub™ instance.‎
‎●‎ IOhub™ fundamentals.‎
