3 Industry 4.0 consulting 03 Industry 4.0 consulting Improving production systems using lean production and RFID Wide ranges of products, short delivery times, agile markets, and complex processes: as production environments become increasingly complex, production management becomes more challenging. This frequently leads to changes in production planning at short notice, a higher probability of errors/ defects, and rising personnel expenses. Implementation of Industry 4.0 practices creates transparency in production and makes it possible to sensibly specify production processes and batch sizes. Production becomes far more flexible as a result. Increasing digital connectivity also makes it possible to understand multiple causes behind the scenes and make long-term improvements to production systems. Our Industry 4.0 consultancy can help you pave the way to effective implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions. Doing so will help you master the challenges posed by an evolving market environment now and in the future. We begin by jointly identifying how Industry 4.0 can help you. We then accompany you every step of the way, as we tap potential ranging from the fundamentals of lean production to fully automated RFID (radio frequency identification) entries. Since 2008, the Bosch plant in Homburg has had great success using RFID solutions in production operations. Widespread implementation of RFID has reduced the complexity of entries and has also enhanced standardization, resulting in processes that are now leaner and more transparent. This not only allows greater focus on core business, but also sustainably cuts inventories and costs. The Homburg plant has won many awards over the years for its lean production and RFID expertise including the 2012 Automotive Lean Production Award, the 2014 VDA Logistics Award, and the 2014 elogistics Award. Robert Bosch GmbH has been a member since day one of the RAN (RFID-based automotive network) project, an initiative of Germany s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The Bosch plant in Homburg is a center of competence, allowing Bosch s Diesel Systems and Gasoline Systems divisions to supply solutions worldwide. Nobody is better at meeting the process requirements associated with RFID implementation.
