Industry in Brazil
The future of the industrial production mode has gained more and more space on the global stage. Discussions are formed on the most varied topics: appropriate technology tools for each type of operation, the new role of workers in this new scenario, the productivity potential to be achieved worldwide so that companies can remain competitive, among others.
In this tangle of subjects, industrial automation is always present, albeit implicitly in these discussions. Today, delivering products with increasingly better quality and increasing productivity – especially in the manufacturing industry, for example – depends on a series of components, which can range from simple applications to complex robots.
This is a trajectory whose beginning is marked by a period long before Industry 4.0. In Brazil, Mitsubishi Electric equipment has been present since the 1960s, helping to boost the national industry through tools dedicated to improving productivity within the steel mills that were beginning to be inaugurated in the country.
Industrial automation
If before the effort was dedicated to subsidizing the start of production, today industrial automation solutions are dedicated to improving competitiveness, using technology for purposes ranging from facilitating the work of operators and making it safer to artificial intelligence tools. capable of assisting in the monitoring of machines.
Today, deploying automation initiatives depends on careful mapping. It is necessary to map critical data for the daily operation and how it is distributed in the plant to define what equipment is needed to guarantee data integrity and achieve results effectively, avoiding fraud. The implementation must be done step by step, in a modular and scalable way, offering an attractive return on investment, thus serving as an incentive for future installations.
The reality of the industrial base in Brazil shows that there is a long way to go to reach a significant level of maturity. Today, companies from different sectors and sizes are challenged by the macroeconomic scenario of slow recovery, with a slight acceleration in consumption and high levels of unemployment directly impacting consumption. It is necessary for leaders to be increasingly attentive to perceive the opportunities to be taken advantage of and what are the main practices to be adopted in order to guarantee their survival over time.
To adopt them and ensure effective results, it is necessary that industry leaders are able to visualize the importance of this type of investment, starting to measure tangible financial returns in the short term to prepare effectively. possible to win and accelerate the development of this channel in the country, expanding the performance of companies and ensuring even more opportunities for competitiveness, making more and more pioneering and effective companies in a future of accelerated consumption.
