Implementing Industry 4.0: Challenges
Smart factories will open up new possibilities such as predictive maintenance, improved worker safety, and quality control. Shop floor connectivity will lead to stronger integration with ERP for better demand forecasting and resource allocation. We will see significant results like production optimization and operational efficiency improvement. Proper smart factory implementation will lead to agility, speed to market, and highly flexible lines.
To fully reap the benefits of Industry 4.0, organisations must overcome the challenges of implementing large-scale smart manufacturing solutions. The current workforce's lack of technical skills is a major impediment to smart factory deployment. If the organisation wants to scale beyond pilot projects, it must bring a diverse set of capabilities to the team. This will include expertise in solution development to testing, deployment, and maintenance.
The separation of protocols, components, products, and systems is another significant challenge. This lack of interoperability limits the options for upgrading system components and switching from one vendor to another.
