The difference is often a matter of predictive maintenance.
Applied Materials, the innovator of the SmartFactory Rx suite of software products, is taking the lead on leveraging Industry 4.0 principles and technologies, such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and advanced analytics, to
optimize manufacturing process performance, asset utilization, and supply chain. SmartFactory Rx Analytics & Control (A&C) collects real-time data from interconnected sensors and learns equipment behavioral patterns using machine learning techniques, connecting physical objects to a digital world. With such a cyber-physical system, process and condition monitoring can be fully integrated on one platform for operators to monitor process performance and for maintenance users to analyze equipment health. This integrated analytics and maintenance system enables maintenance to be accurately predicted and prescribed to prevent unexpected machine breakdowns, improve asset utilization, and reduce costs.
