ince its founding in 1970, SYSTEM SpA (Fiorano Modenese, Italy, www.system-group.it) has always been a leader in automating the production of high-quality ceramics. So it’s no surprise this member of ACIMAC, the Italian Ceramic Plant and Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (www.acimac.com) has studied Industry 4.0 in depth since the concept emerged. In fact, SYSTEM created a special department called “digital industrial design” in which a team of electronic engineers, mechanical engineers, IT engineers, chemists and physicists work together “with the aim of creating one of the Industry 4.0 models for the ceramics sector, as a point of reference not only in Europe but worldwide.” In SYSTEM’s view, today’s manufacturers face new challenges in the personalization of products and reduction of costs and quantities. Changing from large-scale production to the production of
small batches and even single products requires a high degree of manufacturing agility. “In this scenario, the human assets, complete digitalization of processes and effective use of data all represent essential factors, vital to the creation of a new manufacturing paradigm.” To address these challenges, SYSTEM has introduced PRIME: a platform of software services aimed at “controlling production capacity of entire factories, optimizing the quality of control processes and the standardization of information received from systems, in order to provide management tools aimed at improving awareness and decision repeatability.” PRIME is a product-analysis tool hosted on highly integrated and cutting-edge IT systems. It features a single interface that lets a user represent his entire manufacturing facility with 3D computer graphics.
