Industry 4.0 technologies are about creating new approaches in production management, blurring the boundaries between physical and digital objects and transition to online management. The case of Metinvest, a Ukrainian mining and metals company, will demonstrate the effect of using new Industry 4.0 KOEEBOX devices to control the equipment operation.

How to make your manufacturing smart in 15 minutes? What are the benefits of the new Industry 4.0 devices? How to control equipment operation online from your mobile phone? The answers to these questions will be presented in the Metinvest case. You will see video materials from the company's production facilities demonstrating the application of new technologies. After the demo, the company's management will answer questions from the forum participants.
The case is aimed particularly at company owners and managers.

The Predictive Maintenance approach to handling equipment has replaced the previously used technology of scheduled maintenance. Predictive maintenance can help reduce costs, reduce breakdown-related downtime, and improve equipment availability in both traditional and innovative production facilities. The implementation of Predictive Maintenance is possible with Industry 4.0 technologies.

For the energy generation industry, stable equipment operation is critical. In the Donbasenergo digital transformation case, the company executives will outline the results of the Predictive Maintenance project and the steps taken. They will use videos from their production facilities to show you how Industry 4.0 technologies work in production, how you can manage processes and check the equipment from a mobile phone. After the demo, Donbasenergo managers will answer the forum participants' questions.

FED manufactures high-precision products for aircraft and helicopter builders, most of which are exported abroad. The company's production facilities have a lot of modern high-performance equipment. FED receives many individual orders, mostly for new products, so they go through such stages as design, creating prototypes, and manufacturing of the series. FED is keen to reduce the time for releasing new products from design to manufacturing (Time to Market), increase the utilization of expensive high-performance equipment and so reduce expenses due to its downtime. To address these challenges, FED has undergone digital transformation and implemented Industry 4.0 Smart Factory technologies.

The company representatives will take you on a video tour and show the entire chain of order processing: design, production planning and accounting, and tool provision management. The forum participants will learn how to manage processes from their mobile phones. After the demo, FED leaders will answer questions from the audience.

After 2014, INTERPIPE reduced its export to Russia and underwent a digital transformation of its processes to enter the world markets. The company needed to change the processes of end-to-end planning and production management at all of its plants to meet individual customer needs and ensure online monitoring of the status of each order. As a result, the Industry 4.0 Smart Factory technology has enabled INTERPIPE to fulfill more than 95% of orders on time.

In the INTERPIPE digital transformation case, the company managers reveal the results of the Smart Factory implementation project and the steps taken. On a video tour around their production facilities, the company representatives will show you the entire chain of order processing: accepting an order, design and manufacturing of mother pipes for the order at INTERPIPE Steel, planning and custom production at INTERPIPE NTRP and INTERPIPE Niko Tube, shipment of products from the company's warehouse using the WMS system, quality control at all stages, as well as online order management. The forum participants will learn how to manage processes from their mobile phones. After the demo, INTERPIPE managers will answer questions from the audience.
