A challenging context
The industry must adapt to the current socioeconomic context, characterized by a strong digital trend, the Internet of Things (IoT) and changes in consumer habits. This panorama entails the need, for the electronics industry, to adopt the model of Industry 4.0, consisting of the digitization and automation of processes. In this area, it is very important to digital twin or digital twin, a virtual and highly faithful representation of the product or manufacturing process.
Likewise, there is the question of the lot-size-one or the manufacture of small batches of different products. The latter is a major problem for small and medium-sized companies with assembly lines. From the manufacturer's point of view, the main idea of lot-size-one means being able to manufacture any product, in any variant, quantity, sequence order, production line and time. The trend, except in the case of consumer goods, is to receive orders for a limited number of units, ranging from a few tens to a few tens of thousands. Therefore, the complexity lies in the need to remain competitive by responding to a wide variety of requests.
Alessandro Balboni stands out the crucial importance of data analysis in these cases. “The success of a product is related to the flexibility of the company and its ability to adapt efficiently, but it also has a lot to do with the analysis of the data,” he says. The future for companies in the electronics sector will depend on their ability to collect and interpret data that allows them to perform predictive analysis of production.
