Everyone talks about Industry 4.0, but what does it actually mean? Here's how Brembo faces this true industrial revolution by investing in connection, traceability, cybersecurity or collaborative robotics.
Modern manufacturing is an increasingly complex, digitalized and automated industry that depends heavily on machines and the application of advanced technologies. Terms such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Industry 4.0 have gained currency to describe the trend toward increasing connectivity, automation, and artificial intelligence. These developments are highly relevant to the manufacturing portion of the automotive sector.
As a key cornerstone of its 2025 Strategy, ŠKODA AUTO is rigorously advancing the digitalisation of its production process. As of now, the Czech car manufacturer is using a fully autonomous, self-learning transport robot at the Vrchlabí component plant. This robot is able to recognise obstacles along its journey through the plant and to incorporate other information from its surroundings when planning its route. If necessary, it changes its course to always get to its destination as quickly as possible. It thereby contributes to further improving safety at work and the efficiency of transport processes at the plant. Sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology enables the robot to navigate its environment: using sensors and laser scanners, it recognises vehicles and stationary obstacles as well as people crossing its path. The control system calculates the approach speed and detects if a collision is imminent. In this case, the robot stops by itself or takes evasive action.
