Industry 4.0
and smart factory
The Industrial Revolution for all
With the advancement of Industry 4.0 and increasingly demanding customers on the traceability of their suppliers’ products, it becomes more and more necessary to ensure that the machines communicate with the company’s computer systems and that the application software collects every single production data, so that everything can be controlled from one office, to ensure customers on the quality of products and quality management.
To answer this problem, Ferrazza has developed SINACON, the SCADA system that offers all the advantages and conveniences of Industry 4.0 and smart factory technology with a tailor-made system, from the type of communication network, to the format in which to export data, up to the graphic choices for the HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
From the choice of the most suitable hardware for the SCADA to be installed, to the programming of the control software for your industrial plant, Ferrazza guides you through your 4.0 path, transforming your industrial reality into a smart factory.
The introduction of cyberphysical systems in an industrial plant is the fundamental and first step to achieve an integration of Industry 4.0 and a smart factory on a production line. The interconnection of computer systems and physical systems (robots or machinery) allows the exchange and sharing of data and information, the basis of every technology of the fourth industrial revolution.
To make the interconnection of cyberphysical systems possible, a SCADA system is required, a supervision, control and data acquisition software. To meet this need, Ferrazza has developed SINACON, a SCADA software that can be programmed and adapted to the needs of any type of industrial plant, regardless of the type of production. This tailor-made design, specific to each customer, is fundamental for the line operator to exploit software and line to the maximum, without neglecting any detail. The programming of SINACON offered by Ferrazza ranges from the graphic choices for the Man-Machine interface (HMI), up to the format in which to export the data collected during production, taking also care to choose the right communication driver for the job.
Machines and robots must not only be able to communicate with the customer’s computer systems, but must also be able to communicate with each other during production. This not only allows you to collect data across the entire line, but also to monitor the operating status of the line, alarms, set recipes and the production progress from a single checkpoint. SINACON as a conductor, directs the entire production line, reporting all data on the server or, even, on the company management.
