ADMIN4.0 - ASSISTED DIGITAL MANUFACTURING IN INDUSTRY 4.0

The digitalization of processes in the industry with ADMIN4.0 opens the way for innovations and solutions that increase efficiency, economy and quality. The demands placed on operators require the automation of their activities, whether by replacing them with autonomous technology or by making their work more efficient.

The solution is to digitize processes with the ADMIN4.0 assisted digital manufacturing tool, which combines the skillful hands of a human with the precision and reliability of a machine, providing both passive and active elements of automation and control in the manufactory.

ADMIN4.0 is primarily intended for use in manufactories across the entire industrial spectrum in conjunction with humans as well as in autonomous processes:

Streamlining production processes
Improving product quality
Reducing demands on workers
Speeding up the training of workers for production
Reducing the cost of error correction

ADMIN4.0 is a powerful tool for a wide range of industries:

ADMIN4.0 | WorkManager

The ADMIN4.0 platform provides two levels of operation. The operator works in the WorkManager environment designed to operate the running program and the Studio environment for editing this program.

From the operator’s perspective, WorkManager is the ADMIN4.0 workstation administration, representing and executing the procedural program configured for that station.

It displays all the necessary information such as:

Control and information elements
Information about the current production operation
Time and pace of work for a statistical overview of the workstation

The WorkManager autonomously executes the configured program and acts as the Runtime of the workstation.

ADMIN4.0 | Studio

One click in WorkManager opens the ADMIN4.0 Studio configuration, without the need to connect a programming computer or open another application.

The 3D environment for working with 3D and 2D models allows you to create a digital twin of the workplace and process which you then link to functions such as:

AI control and inspection
Augmented reality and visual guidance
Analysis and inspection of 2D and 3D shapes
Position recognition and object tracking
Creating procedural programs
Peripheral control
