Virtual reality meets the real world of goods and services designing,
with the increasingly consistent use of IT tools, integrating with production automation. Energy will still be one of the fundamental parameters for defining the production capacity and products competitiveness on the global market. Manage and analyze large amounts of data arriving in real-time from different production sectors, projected on cloud and remotely accessible at any time via web, will be necessary.
The adoption of the PDCA method represents the first step towards Industry 4.0: with constant monitoring of data relating to energy consumption and the comparison with standard benchmarks, critical issues and corrective actions are identified.
