How does mechatronics support Industry 4.0 technologies?

Mechatronics supports Industry 4.0 technologies by providing the foundation for smart, connected systems that drive the digital transformation of manufacturing processes.

•IoT integration: Mechatronics systems can be integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing data to be collected and analyzed in real-time to optimize production processes and improve performance.

•Predictive Maintenance: Mechatronics can support predictive maintenance by providing real-time data on the performance and health of machines, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.

•Automation: Mechatronics provides the basis for advanced automation systems that increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve quality.

•Decentralized Decision Making: Mechatronics systems can be designed to support decentralized decision-making, enabling machines to make decisions on their own, reducing the need for human intervention.

•Real-time Monitoring: Mechatronics systems can be equipped with sensors and other monitoring systems to provide real-time data on production processes, allowing for real-time optimization and improvement.

By providing the foundation for smart, connected systems, mechatronics supports the development of Industry 4.0 technologies and helps to drive the digital transformation of modern manufacturing and production processes. Participants in the Klett EDU TRAINING center go through integration with IoT, in full, at MecLab stations, as well as through automation (in that part we also use EdgeX) and real-time monitoring with the help of reports that participants create in the database.
