Trade Press Days at Bürkert Fluid Control Systems 2017

Industry 4.0 is a critical theme today. Step by step, the changes that it envisages are becoming a reality and the debate surrounding Industry 4.0 presents an opportunity to re-evaluate the needs of the market and to develop new business models on this basis.

In this context, it is clear that simply developing and marketing individual components designed with Industry 4.0 in mind will not suffice. The basic foundation must also be in place. The key concepts here are the wish for bespoke yet cost-effective products as well as efficient handling of small order quantities starting from batch sizes of 1, with short delivery times. This requires maximum flexibility both from the production facilities and in the supply of materials and, of course, on the part of employees.
As a result, every company is facing its own fourth industrial revolution that it must overcome by itself in order to be fit for the future.

Holistic thinking for Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is a critical theme today. Step by step, the changes that it envisages are becoming a reality and the debate surrounding Industry 4.0 presents an opportunity to re-evaluate the needs of the market and to develop new business models on this basis. This article explains the holistic approach of Bürkert in implementing Industry 4.0.

Design fields of digital transformation:

Thinking from the market’s perspective and thinking ahead of the market. Market demands are increasing all the time: customers want to order any number of variants and any number of pieces - from a batch size of 1 to large production runs. Bürkert faces these demands and has therefore started to digitize all internal company processes.

Application solutions dedicated to Industry 4.0

“Intelligent” structures and sequences at the manufacturer ultimately deliver added value for the customer and end user. Bürkert provides a steady stream of examples for this. As a specialist in fluids and an expert in electromechanical systems as well as control cabinet design, the company is driving its own internal process of digitisation forward and is embracing cross-sectoral thinking. Consequently, its system solutions are also supporting the digitisation of its customers and their applications with smart system solutions such as the example used in cosmetics production below.
