Industry 4.0 is the currently the term and goal in the manufacturing world. The main goal and vision of Industry 4.0 are staying profitable while boosting productivity, that’s why the advantages of process automation come into play. Implementing a process automation requires a range of technologies to successfully accomplish varieties of critical manufacturing objectives. Furthermore, the process automation achieves higher standards of quality control, faster lead times, and brings safety to the production environment. Successfully implementing process automation technologies brings the benefit to the operators have real-time access of production status and able to quickly overseeing the overall supply chain management, such as data analysis, automation production monitoring, production surveillance and inspections, inventory management, and production glitch and troubleshooting.

Process automation typically combined with machine visions and robotic arms to achieve the high demands of tasks during the production period. Machine vision utilizes high-speed cameras those are operated by embedded computers to perform the tasks of precise verifications, inspections, or any job that is not able to perform by the human eyes with a speed. Robotic arms are often the solutions to replace the human labor during the phase of pick-and-place. Robotic arms are also operated by embedded computers those are preprogrammed to perform motor driving and other movement functions. The embedded computer that is driving these technologies needs to be highly customizable with configuration flexibilities and rugged design in order to meet the standards in this intensive and extremely fast-paced industry.

Our Barebone systems and touch panel PCs are industrial-grade performance and ready to integrate with current industry 4.0 applications, such as machine visions, robotic arm controls, data analysis, and production monitoring. All of our Barebone products are fully customizable and offer flexible configurations, from selections of motherboards, CPU type, numbers of I/Os, to chassis design and layout, it is tailor-made to accommodate with your unique specifications.
