Digitalization of industrial processes

The fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, concerns not only the broadly understood digitalization of manufacturing processes, but also IT tools supporting manufacturing and business processes in the enterprise. Thanks to such a combination, organizations can gain a significant competitive advantage, and customers can gain satisfaction from using the products offered by the company.

The key to the effective use of digital solutions of Industry 4.0 is their implementation in all areas of the company's operations - from the product development process, through its production, to marketing, sales, order collection and customer relationship management.

The key to digital solutions

In industry, the digitization of production is primarily related to manufacturing processes that are responsible for the creation of the final product. At the current stage of development, companies are focusing on the digital integration of processes and devices, thus deepening the automation of production, logistics and transport, while simultaneously combining these production processes with digital enterprise management systems.

Low-code platform and Industry 4.0

Control and management of processes in which information plays a key role, as well as rapid analysis of available data, requires equally rapid adaptation and evolution of the software that supports them. The traditional process of preparing and testing software is usually too slow in relation to the changing business environment. This is why solutions are needed that will allow for the quick preparation and modification of the necessary business and analytical tools.

In such situations, low-code systems such as the nAxiom platform come to the rescue. Low-code platforms are much easier to use, do not require writing a lot of code, and most business applications require a graphical, intuitive interface that can significantly speed up the process of coding and preparing applications. Equally important is the fact that low-code platforms allow company employees who know the industrial or business processes used in the company best, but are not programming specialists, to participate in the programming and preparation of applications.

Four times shorter implementation time

The nAxiom platform is an environment that allows the creation of dedicated applications that are necessary for the functioning of an ecosystem consistent with the assumptions of Industry 4.0. Low-code systems allow users (Citizen Developer) to build new applications with minimal support from programmers that will improve the IT systems used so far in the company without interfering with their structure. Business applications created using low-code tools can not only be prepared quickly and easily, but also modified, thanks to which the company is able to immediately respond to changing market conditions and customer requirements.

By using nAxiom, you can focus on how to solve the problem without disrupting the work of other departments. The created business application or specific software controlling industrial processes is adapted to existing systems so that they do not require changes.

Also important are the optimization of production costs, identification of losses and real-time monitoring of expenses. Applications prepared together with the company's employees also provide the ability to control production information at various organizational levels of the company or the ability to track the current status of machines and production lines, and in combination with ERP systems, you can constantly adjust production to incoming orders.
