Transitioning To An Industry 4.0 Capable Factory:

The Circumference Industry 4.0 Readiness Assessment

Industry 4.0 readiness is about connectivity, visibility, and meaningful reporting of the activities of your manufacturing operations. Tier 1 and 2 companies need to be fully connected or they will vanish. Their supply chain partners need to reach some level of compliance with Industry 4.0 standards, or they too will vanish. What level do you need to reach? Our experts will not just help you answer this question, but also work with you to build solutions using the equipment you already own.

There are often two significant roadblocks to becoming Industry 4.0 ready. One is the trepidation of embarking on a large scale project that will be disruptive and costly. Secondly, even once it's accepted that changes are absolutely needed, progress may be further stalled because no one has a clear idea – or perhaps any idea – of where to start. 

The Circumference Industry 4.0 readiness assessment addresses both of these concerns. The assessment itself is non-invasive and includes an examination of your current processes and systems, an identification of gaps and bottlenecks that will need to be addressed, and recommended steps to resolve any issues according to a schedule and budget that works for you.

Importantly, the assessment answers the question of where to begin by providing an objective picture of your current state of operations that can be realistically bridged to the state of operations you need to achieve. What does that end state look like, exactly? That too is answered, once you have an objective understanding of your starting point.
