Digital initiatives

Digital Manufacturing

As the world of manufacturing evolves to better respond to customer needs and market challenges, Comau leading the way. Our approach to networking humans, processes, equipment and systems is driving the creation of value-networks able to gather, analyze and utilize interconnected intelligence to become flexible, fast and pro-active.

Backed by 50 years of industrial automation experience and an intimate knowledge of manufacturing processes, our digital framework is designed for new or existing plants and all brands of installed equipment.

Line Monitoring

Real-time data collection from the PLCs on the production line. This data is then used to monitor the overall performance and KPIs of the production lines and identify bottlenecks or areas that need improvement.

Robot Monitoring

Data collection from Comau Robot to calculate performance metrics. This data will be used to monitor the health and performance of the robots and identify potential issues that will need to be addressed.

Traceability

Data collection on a product during its production, such as quality data and other information related to the product. This data will be used to trace the product throughout the production process and ensure that it meets the required standards.

The interconnected factory

Digitalization marks a significant transformation in manufacturing, where physical and digital systems merge to create a more agile, responsive, and efficient production environment. This integration enables real-time communication between operators and the manufacturing system.

Digital IoT platforms, such as Comau’s In.Grid, enhance intelligence to streamline processes and optimize the value chain. As a result, digitalization can lead to increased productivity, faster time-to-market, and reduced operating costs and risks. Furthermore, digitalization can be applied at various levels, including individual machines, production lines, or entire factories.
