Bitia's "Connected Factory" for the steel industry

According to industry experts, Industry 4.0 technologies are at the heart of the sustainable transformation process of the steel sector (source siderweb.com): the digitalization of processes, monitoring of energy consumption and production telemetry for each plant, cost and profit center, are some of the areas that more than others will be impacted by the ongoing digital acceleration.
Some leading companies in the steel sector successfully use Bitia’s «Connected Factory», which allows the interconnection of lines to detect production data and energy consumption, integrating the ERP system and correlating work order information.
With the growth and evolution of the system, the data collected in the execution of processes represent a mine of information useful for the improvement of the processes themselves. For this reason, Bitia’s «Connected Factory» integrates a powerful “Data Lake”, a tool that is increasingly establishing itself in industrial realities as a “collector” of all business information to carry out improvement analysis and to develop machine learning tools.
