TRIBUNNEWS.COM – When is the right time to start manufacturing digitization? ‘Now’ is probably the best answer. Moreover, in the current era of technological advancement, the manufacturing industry is required to carry out escalation through investment in manufacturing technology.
By investing in manufacturing technology, companies can start digitizing manufacturing or digital manufacturing in full.
Digitization of manufacturing itself brings many benefits that lead to increased profits or return of investment (KING).
Why manufacturing digitization so useful?
There are several reasons why manufacturing digitization can lead to an increase in the company’s ROI.
First, by doing digital manufacturing, companies can support employee work efficiency thanks to the role of tools or robots that simplify and simplify the production process. No more complicated work; everything works systematically.
Second, technology also increases productivity. Imagine, a machine does not know the word tired, so it can increase production many times over at one time.
Not only that, by applying the concept digital manufacturing, the production process will be easily monitored and supervised thanks to the synergy of the tools factory automation carried out in the factory area.
For example, a manufacturing company can implement quality control to identify errors in the production phase. Through monitoring technologies such as cameras and sensors, companies can minimize the potential human error, thereby preventing the possibility of product failure or product recalls during distribution.
Gap knowledge about digital manufacturing
Although many manufacturing industries are aware of the importance of digitizing manufacturing technology, in fact knowledge about digital manufacturing and factory automation are still difficult to implement.
This of course creates a knowledge gap between manufacturing companies.
One effort that can be done to avoid the knowledge gap is to open a new tap to partner with other parties who have expertise in the field of automation, so that they can guide companies in exploring information about manufacturing technology.
One of the leading technology companies in the industry digital manufacturing, Mitsubishi Electric, has applied the concept learning specifically through website the new one entitled ‘Digital Manufacturing’.
Website ‘Digital Manufacturing‘ contains guidelines and steps that enable management to make digital investment decisions step-by-step, thereby maximizing profitability and accelerating company growth.
With a flawless approach known as the “Smart Manufacturing Kaizen Level (SMKL)”, Mitsubishi Electric helps the manufacturing industry direct their steps in implementing the concept of digitization, by determining the main actions and results expected by the company to achieve the highest ROI.
Past ‘Digital Manufacturing‘, Mitsubishi Electric also explained what is important to make a breakthrough in this era of digital manufacture.
Website it also guides customers in achieving ROI with reduced energy use, increased productivity and reduced budget by around 30% to 90% by using eF@ctory solutions digital manufacturing from Mitsubishi Electric.
To start investing in digital manufacturing, your company can start the first step by doing several things, namely:
1) Improve understanding digital manufacturing
Before starting to implement the concept digital manufacturing, make sure everyone on the team shares a clear understanding of the company’s position in digital manufacturing, where is the position the company wants to achieve, and how do you plan to achieve the desired position.
2) Preparation going to digital manufacturing
You need to tailor each step to your company’s needs, budget, goals, and execution speed.
3) Application digital manufacture which is smooth
Even if it gets stuck at first, you need to determine how the company can implement digital manufacturing smoothly, even for complex processes. One way is to take advantage of the expertise of supplier partners who have years of experience.
4) Collaborate with experts
You can’t miss it opportunity to collaborate with leading experts in manufacturing, in particular digital manufacturing. By collaborating, there will be optimal solutions that are born for the company’s progress in this technological era.
Application digital manufacturing has been widely applied by many leading companies, one of the best is Mitsubishi Electric.
The company has successfully invested in the world’s important components digital manufacturing past automation created for industrial manufacturing processes.
In Indonesia, PT Mitsubishi Electric Indonesia was established on October 22, 2012 successfully engaged in two business fields in the era of digital manufacturing present tense, i.e. factory automation and living environment born of how the concept digital manufacturing can be useful for society and industry.
Product example from factory automation Mitsubishi Electric is automation and processing technology, including controller (PLC), drive products (Inverter and Servo System), distribution and monitoring of energy, processing machines (Electrical Discharge Machine), computerized numerical controller (CNC), industrial robots and collaborative robots (collaborative robot).
