Industry 4.0

Power in your Hands.

Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the industry for personnel at every level of the process. 

Maintenance staff can now take advantage of predictive analytics that uses sensor and process data. This allows GRANCO CLARK equipment to notify them of potential process or equipment failures before they happen.

Production engineers have access to more process and equipment data than ever before. GRANCO CLARK systems archive and analyze this data, then present it to users in a graphical or table-based summary. This allows users to optimize their process to a level not previously possible without extensive manual data collection and analysis.

Management staff can now check on the status of any given facility, production line, or even individual equipment from a smartphone, tablet, or PC. GRANCO CLARK systems now feature apps that a customer can use to access this data globally if they choose.

We are investing heavily in providing an Industry 4.0 solution to the aluminum industry. Using data from sensor communication protocols such as IO-Link, we are collecting valuable diagnostic data of all sensing devices in real-time. Process data is constantly being monitored, with alert systems to notify personnel of any deviation using a variety of platforms. These include push notifications via text messages and in-app messaging with visual notifications. We are continuously improving the development of our Supervisory Control System (SCS) to archive and analyze this data. 

With the development of our mobile applications, the resultant analysis is easily accessible using any device. This allows production, quality, and management personnel greater insight into the process, confidence in quality, with tracing and accountability for every step of that process anywhere in the world.

GRANCO CLARK is taking Industry 4.0 into account at every step in our process. We continue to look for more ways to gather and provide data to the customer with every new design.
