Gearbox Manufacturing4.0
We help the Gear Industry to apply the principles and technologies of Industry 4.0
Gearbox manufacturing 4.0 - What is Industry 4.0?
Gearbox Manufacturing 4.0: what does it mean?
Industry 4.0 implies the utilization of different technology trends, mainly digital, to offer solutions to future challenges such as higher productivity and efficiency, better and faster decision making, mass personalization of new products, higher transparency and lower cost.
“The Fourth Industrial Revolution is still in its nascent state. But with the swift pace of change and disruption to business and society, the time to join in is now”.
Gary Coleman, Global Industry and Senior Client Advisor, Deloitte Consulting
How can Industry 4.0 embrace the Gearbox Manufacturing Industry?
Traditionally, gears are produced by using well-established processes in the field of machining, special processes – including heat treatments – and inspection methods. However, 4.0 technologies are revoluzionizing the way how Gearbox have been designed and produced.
