Bosch Rexroth Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 Solutions for Industrial Tightening Technology
Industry 4.0 changes the world of production and connects the real world of machines to the virtual world (Internet of Things, IOT). Bosch Rexroth uses its expertise as an operator in its own plants and as a provider of intelligent drive and control technologies to develop and expand its Industry 4.0 solutions.
Initial results show the advantages. Among them are higher productivity, variable production including a batch size of 1 and more efficient human-machine interaction. This strong base creates new value networks and allows Industry 4.0 to become a reality in your company.
In the area of industrial tightening technology, we are offering hardware and software solutions for the Internet of Things that are market-ready, available, and successfully being used by customers right now. One example: The Rexroth Nexo cordless nutrunner fits in networked environments simply by using the integrated control, without the need for additional control hardware, and communicates wirelessly with the higher-level systems.
The Process Quality Manager from Bosch Software Innovations supports early detection of problems in your production process, notifying the responsible production managers and providing analyses. As a result, your technical experts can take prompt measures to counteract deviation trends in the target process, preventing production stops and the production of defective parts. The Process Quality Manager will help you to take a major step towards the goal of zero defect production.
Your process data can be saved locally at your production facility or on the Bosch loT Cloud. The Bosch loT Cloud can collect, save, and analyze your data and make it available in a timely manner worldwide. The Bosch loT Suite is the technological basis for loT applications and integrates all the necessary functions to integrate devices, users, compa-nies, and partners. The objective? An efficient development of innovative and future-oriented solutions for the networked world.
Additionally, the efficiency and quality of your production can be increased by networking tools. With "Track and Trace", for example, it is possible to determine the exact position of the Nexo cordless nutrunner inside the work-shop. Based on this position determination and the known placement of the component to be tightened, the relevant tightening program can be automatically selected and released. A single tightening result can then be assigned precisely to a single tightening connection.
