Process automation and computer engineering resources are some key concepts when talking about technology in the industry. The intention is to improve processes to optimize the production chain, reducing operating costs and favoring the productivity of the teams. In this content, we will talk more about this theme and mention 3 indispensable technologies in the segment. Check it out!
How important is technology in the industry?
The field of industrial technology encompasses all the technological evolutions that aim to facilitate the teams' daily work, in order to obtain the maximum performance of the systems without consuming too many resources.
One example is the search for energy efficiency, which consists of investing in intelligent systems that require little or no electricity to operate.
In the same vein, the application of computer engineering methodologies has been standing out as a very viable alternative to optimize the performance of the systems and the employees on the production line.
In this sense, we can talk about intelligent methods that improve the installation of sustainable solutions in the factory, enabling the best possible performance of the systems, such as in lighting solutions and natural ventilation.
Inclusively, this type of sustainable system is highlighted in the current Industry 4.0 scenario. The idea is to combine process optimization, energy efficiency, and environmental care on the production line. Thus, everyone wins in terms of productivity, efficiency, and quality of life at work.
Get to know the features that are highlighted in Industry 4.0 and understand how they contribute to industrial sustainability!
¿Qué ventajas tiene el uso de la tecnología en la industria en las naves industriales?
Let's now go to the main advantages of investing in technology in industry.
Cost reduction
Optimized processes reflect directly on the industry's budget control. After all, the more optimized the production line, the less managers will spend on complex systems or extra staff to keep operations up to date. That is why it is so important to count on intelligent resources that favor an agile and efficient production chain without consuming too many resources.
Increased productivity
Intelligent solutions, such as the lighting systems and natural ventilation we mentioned earlier, are highlights when the subject is productivity in the industry. This is because these two issues are related to group performance. The better the lighting and ventilation resources in the industry, the more well-being the teams have on a daily basis, which boosts the group's performance.
Agility in decision making
Intelligent systems enable a more accurate vision of the industrial process. Today, there are already several software programs that work with data intelligence so that managers can make more rational and less intuitive decisions. This is fundamental in the Industry 4.0 era, because it allows to combine efficiency, agility, and savings in the production line.
Efficiency in the performance of activities
Task automation is practically synonymous with efficiency in industrial activities. Currently, several systems enable repetitive and manual tasks to be automated by technology in the industry. Thus, employees gain time to redirect their efforts to other demands where the human factor is indispensable.
3 indispensable technological solutions for industrial warehouses
Below, we list 3 solutions with guaranteed return in terms of efficiency, agility, and productivity in the industry.
1. CFD
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) is a computational engineering method used to model fluids. It works as a kind of fluid calculator, thus allowing designers to have a more accurate view of certain projects before taking them off the drawing board, such as the installation of natural ventilation systems.
With the aid of CFD, it is possible to design a system of maximum performance, as in the case of industrial blinds. In this type of installation, accurately understanding the behavior of the air inside the shed is essential to validate the calculations of the renewal rate required for that environment.
CFD does this detailed work, analyzing in virtual reality the data collected in the physical space of the shed. In this way, designers can test on the 3D mesh several ventilation possibilities to make the system more efficient and eliminate the risk of rework in the installation.
2. BIM
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is used to create intelligent floor plans. With the help of this methodology, the dimensioning of lighting systems and natural ventilation gains more accuracy, because designers can foresee the results before launching the work.
BIM modeling allows to evaluate aspects such as planning of the structures, air renewal rate calculations, and budgets involved, in order to ensure the return on investment and the best cost-benefit of the solutions.
3. MB Smart
MB Smart is a lighting manager developed with exclusive technology from the MB Group - a reference in the segment of sustainable solutions for the industry for 20 years. MB Smart controls all the lighting resources used in the plant, dimensioning the luminous flux of the LEDs according to the natural light that enters through the domes on the roof.
In this way, maximum visual comfort is ensured with the lowest possible power consumption. It is also possible to set up specific lighting flows in the MB Smart according to the needs of each department in the warehouse, which is also decisive in terms of energy efficiency in the industry.
El Grupo MB es pionero en el uso de estas tecnologías en la industria para optimizar los procesos y reducir los costes de explotación. Metodologías como el CFD y la modelización BIM se utilizan para diseñar proyectos de iluminación con cúpulas y proyectos de ventilación con persianas y claraboyas industriales, proporcionando sistemas de alto rendimiento con rentabilidad garantizada.
