The Industry 4.0 market attracts many new players because of its appeal and the added value it brings to companies. Our customer, who was thinking about the subject but was not an Industry 4.0 specialist, was getting lost in the variety of offers on the market. It was hard to find a way forward and know where to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><i>2\/ The solutions we provided.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We carried out a complete diagnosis of the company to draw up an action plan suited to its needs and available resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then helped it draw up complete, tailor-made <strong>specifications<\/strong> for an Industry 4.0 project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><i>3\/ The results.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Won over by the solutions our teams proposed to problems the company had faced for many years (work organisation, information sharing, too high a scrap rate, etc.), the company was able to launch an Industry 4.0 project with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/meta2i.com\/eu\/en\/what-is-mes-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MES<\/a> (Manufacturing Execution System)<\/strong> linked directly to the ERP that was in place before KmProd5 was implemented.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were able to adapt to the customer&rsquo;s way of working and specific requests: today the company sees a real time saving, which translates into <strong>increased activity<\/strong> and a 15% reduction in scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More than 50 industrial sites in 4 countries already trust us! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So why not you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry 4.0 consulting by Meta 2i We are now right in the middle of the fourth phase of the industrial revolution.
