Industry 5.0. Innovation & sustainability

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF INDUSTRY 5.0: INVESTING IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES

The challenges of Industry 5.0 are many and, for companies, imply significant investments in new technologies and infrastructure, as well as the management of the transition towards smarter and more interconnected production systems.

The bottling and packaging plants produced by SMI are among the investments envisaged by the government plans for Industry 4.0 and Transition 5.0, as they are equipped with the most modern automation and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. The latter allow to collect and integrate the operating data of all machines supplied by SMI into a single control and management platform, in order to monitor in real time the efficiency and energy consumption and intervene even remotely for the operation of the plants.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA HAS ALREADY BEGUN

The production world is getting ready for the new Industry 5.0 technological revolution, that will lead to huge changes in the companies of every sector and size, as these will have to further evolve to embrace the digital green transition and prioritize the employee’s wellbeing within the production process.

SMI SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY 5.0

SMI manufactures fully automated, ergonomic and user-friendly primary, secondary and tertiary systems, capable of interconnecting in digital networks, thus perfectly meeting the criteria of Industry 4.0 and Transition 5.0 in terms of higher production flexibility and efficiency and accurate control of the machine consumption.

Thanks to the digital intelligence with which they are equipped, the latest generation of SMI machines can benefit from the SMYOT platform, which has the task of collecting all operating and life cycle data of the machine, allowing them to be verified, processed and enhanced, in order to guarantee the production efficiency and the energy control of the plants.

An advanced HMI simplifies the human-machine collaboration, thus ensuring a user-friendly management of the bottling and packaging systems. From the control panel, the operator can, in fact, select different dashboards and guided, interactive procedures that facilitate the machine management and maintenance.

THE STRENGTHS OF INDUSTRY 5.0

• A more balanced working relationship between intelligent technologies and humans
• Virtuous interaction between man and machine represented by cobots, collaborative robots that carry out the most repetitive tasks, while men have the opportunity to focus on the most creative ones
