We are in the era of the 4th industrial revolution: automation, digitalization and interconnection are just some of the aspects that characterize our era and the near future. In this article, we will show you the notion of Industry 4.0, iVision Vacuum involved technologies and the tax incentives which you may access to.
What is Industry 4.0
The term Industry 4.0 indicates the industrial automation process that aims to create smarter, faster and more efficient production departments. In other words, the goal of this 4th industrial revolution is to implement a series of transformations to achieve production systems that are intelligent, automated and interconnected through the network.
A new way of producing and organizing work thanks to a mix of advanced technologies that concern four fundamental aspects of digital:
- Data collection and analysis. Application of technologies for predictive analysis such as machine learning, thus allowing maintenance that anticipates and prevents breakdowns and plant downtimes.
- Connections between machinery thanks to technologies such as cloud computing, machine-to-machine and the Internet of Things;
- Human-machine interaction made even easier and more intuitive by the touch interfaces;
- Technologies that make the transition from digital to real, such as 3D printing and robotics.
All this will result in a series of advantages for companies, starting with a 360-degree optimization of the production process: the new technologies will in fact allow for greater production speed, reducing errors and machine downtime. This will lead to an increase in productivity and therefore an improvement in the quality of the product, as well as in the competitiveness of the company on the market.
iVision Vacuum 4.0 technologies
iVision Vacuum, strengthened by technologies that were already evolved before the advent of the 4.0 paradigm, is a pioneer company in this field. In fact, although CNC machines equipped with 4.0 technologies have already existed for some time, iVision Vacuum is the first company to apply the principles of Industry 4.0 to industrial vacuum cleaners.
The iVision vacuum cleaners are designed to be integrated into the industrial process in combination with other machinery: equipping the vacuum cleaner with 4.0 technologies also means harmonizing the production process, making it smart and optimizing processes.
The 4.0 iVision vacuum cleaners boast an advanced electronics kit combined with a highly technological user interface, able to establish a dialogue with other machines through the network connection, automating production and keeping the status of the entire system under control.
The 4.0 technologies of iVision Vacuum are applied to all the lines of vacuum cleaners dedicated to specific market sectors, such as extrusion, CNC machines, printed circuits boards (PCB), leather and footwear, sandblasting, wood and, of course, general cleaning.
Tax incentives
In Italy, we have been talking about Industry 4.0 for some years. In 2017, the first government plan was issued focusing on the implementation of the Industry 4.0 paradigm. At present, the project of the Ministry of Economic Development is entitled “National 4.0 Transition Plan” and describes the tax measures adopted by the government to facilitate businesses along the transition to Industry 4.0.
