Digital technology is redefining smart factories
In the wave of transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, manufacturers are using a new generation of information technology to raise the level of production benefits to a new height. The Internet of Things will connect everything in the factory, including people, equipment, robots and products. It will analyze big data through machine learning, predict possible problems, and finally obtain decision references, and know how to improve production efficiency.
In the future, all production elements in intelligent factories are connected by the Internet of Things, and they can communicate with each other, that is, machines and machines, machines and people will work more harmoniously. The data of the production site is collected to the central service system to realize value conversion and promote the efficiency of the entire workflow.
Recently, Komar, a brand manufacturer of industrial robots, launched an industrial Internet of Things platform, In Grid, the product has been studied by Komar’s cross department team for two years, aiming to provide flexible, customizable and easy to implement Internet of Things and digital factory solutions for the manufacturing industry. With the technology of the in. Grid platform, users can digitize their factories and productivity according to the requirements of Industry 4.0.
1. Digital factory solution
In. Grid integrates the resources, knowledge and experience of multiple departments, including robots, automation products, processing and digital platforms, and cooperates with companies from different industries, such as automobile and general industry, to create a platform that can meet the main needs of the manufacturing industry. The platform is open, accessible and adaptable to any product.
The new industrial Internet of Things platform can communicate with operators online through PC, mobile terminal or wearable device, and connect factory automation in an extremely simple way. It has an intuitive and customized interface, depending on the tasks that operators must perform and their complexity.
As an important link in the creation of intelligent factories, in In addition to collecting, storing and analyzing machine data and process data, the Grid Iot platform also allows the creation of factory digital twins to simulate the workflow in a virtual environment, so as to correct design deficiencies and perform preventive and predictive maintenance activities.
In the intelligent manufacturing process, digital technology has improved a better tool, which will greatly improve the efficiency of enterprise personnel. At the same time, Komar has 45 years of rich experience in process management, and can provide users with intelligent and customizable digital solutions.

3. Redefine Smart Factory
Over the years, automation has improved human working conditions, enabling people to reduce heavy, fatigue and dangerous tasks, and to create a superior position in the process, while also improving efficiency, productivity and the quality of the final product. Now, the breakthrough of new technology enables people to approach the machine completely and safely in an intelligent way.
In the trend of Industry 4.0, the role of automated machinery and manpower will be redefined. In response to the new environmental requirements, Komar launched the AURA new collaborative robot. AURA is an innovative product of advanced robot, which has created a mode of real cooperation between human and machine.
Aura is inspired by the human sensory system. The robot is equipped with sensors under a layer of protective foam, which can sense the contact and external force strength. This technology, combined with a laser scanner, can identify the position of people. When the robot is very close to or has actual contact with people, the robot will slow down or stop completely.
In addition to cooperative robots, Komar is also developing HMI supporting applications to support operators to achieve more convenient work, such as managing assembly and maintenance operations through smart watches, smartphones and tablets, as long as the corresponding application software is installed.
In the future, the factory will adopt many cutting-edge technologies and automation products, including automatic driving AGV, industrial robot, cooperative robot, visual inspection, etc. Komar hopes to modularize these technologies to support various applications in the production system.
