Industrie 4.0 during Planning

The basis of your system’s digital twin is

optimally integrated digital engineering.

Do you wonder where added value from

Industrie 4.0, i.e. interconnectivity and in-

telligence, is concretely for your company?

Or are you seeking a technology-neutral

implementation partner for your Industrie

4.0 project in the chemicals, refining, phar-

maceuticals, power or food industry?

We are a technology partner that provides

Industrie 4.0 expertise and solutions for

your process manufacturing systems,

regardless of whether the processes are

batch or continuous. We additionally pro-

vide consulting when you are developing

new business models.

Industrie 4.0 during Operation

Interconnectivity and intelligence also add

value to existing systems. We enable you

to operate your current manufacturing sys-

tems more efficiently, flexibly and reliably

with our products and services: kis_

We will help you select, design and use

these technologies at your construction site

or during system downtimes.

More Efficient and Transparent Process-

es and New Business Models

Interconnecting system components gener-

ates additional potential profits for your

company. Processes become transparent,

relevant information can be communicated

in real time, and decisions can be made

faster. Elements of autonomous control

and new business models manifested in im-

proved interfaces to business partners help

run your company with more agility.

Assessing new business models from your

partner companies to integrate them in

your operations is just as important. We will

help you assess relevant capabilities, design

new business models and subsequently

implement them technically.

Take Advantage of Our Interdisciplinary

Expertise

Implementing Industrie 4.0 is an inter-

disciplinary undertaking. The Fraunhofer

IFF embodies this like none other through

its know-how in the fields of automation,

information and communications technolo-

gies, data analysis, work organization and,

above all, process and plant engineering.

We speak your language and understand

your problems. Contact us if you want to

get your company fit for Industrie 4.0.

We can help you here, for instance, by:

– developing suitable interfaces between

different existing planning tools,

– developing new tools for integrated

digital engineering, e.g. augmenting

3D system objects in real images,

– integrating laser scan data in your

planning, and

– integrating planning documents in

maintenance assistance systems.

We can also use our interactive VR environ-

ment to boost authorities or residents’

acceptance of a planned facility.

Industrie 4.0 at Contsruction Sites or

during Scheduled Downtimes

Inefficient delays are a significant cost

driver at facility construction sites and dur-

ing downtimes. The use of information and

communications technologies at construc-

tion sites helps leverage potential savings.

To this end, the following technologies are

recommended:

– tracking and tracing of material and

relevant staff,

– real-time monitoring of facility construc-

tion operations and virtual construction

progress in a 3D facility model,

– supplier and contractor portals

for partners at a construction site, and

– digital site plans for construction site

planning and execution, also as part of

a facility information system.
