Industry 4.0 is the technological movement that represents the next phase of manufacture industries which results in a full digitization of productive systems, connecting machines, people and processes.

One of the main goals of Prodsmart is to catalyze Industry 4.0 through the mass adoption of the systems that allow all this movement to happen.

We speak directly to the people within the organisation and we empower them. We provide them the ability to make quick decisions, short and autonomous software-implementation processes, with a quote and service level adjusted to their needs and level of usage. But Prodsmart’s relationship with people doesn’t stop here: we are a layer of virtual automation which transforms any production line into a smart digital factory, bringing the people, the processes and the machines together, converting the operators into knowledge workers and aiding the managers to take informed decisions.

We feel that the concept of Industry 4.0 is deeply broken by leaving the people behind. It is too focused on machines and data and less focused on information, processes and people.

However, the majority of the manufacturing landscape is comprised of very small businesses, which do not have access to the level of sophistication that’s being discussed. The role of the people is extremely important in manufacturing SMEs.

We do believe that in a world that is becoming more and more digital the most important element in technology is the people and this is reflected in the way we approach and engage with our current and future users.
