MOM: an industry 4.0 ecosystem

Ibermática and IK4-TEKNIKER join forces at the MOM Expertise Center

The ‘Manufacturing Operational Management (MOM) Expertise Center’ has brought together experts dealing with different technologies and tools to design and develop innovative projects that are to be subsequently commissioned and deployed in the form of a final on-site solution.

Continuous technological advances reported in the industrial sector have made it increasingly necessary to produce open innovation ecosystems to develop and test integrated projects before being deployed at plants on an international scale.

In order to meet this demand, IK4-TEKNIKER and Ibermática have established the ‘Manufacturing Operational Management (MOM) Expertise Center’, a unique space for development, simulation and testing that has brought together experts in automation, robotics, Big Data and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to implement integrated solutions.

The MOM Expertise Center is an initiative that stands in line with customer needs in terms of progressing towards Industry 4.0 with regard to initial design stages, project testing, commissioning and deploying final solutions.

The Expertise Center is based on two pillars: on the one hand, a focus on new production concepts based on Industry 4.0 accelerators such as additive manufacturing, predictive maintenance, in-process inspection, automation and industrial robotics.

And, on the other, it provides support to consolidate more connected integrated, resilient, smart and automated industrial firms by delivering specialised services and solutions allowing for a more efficient implementation.

The MOM Expertise Center allows solutions to be delivered via a single proposal that contains a number of technologically advanced tools to carry out pilot projects to be rolled-out and supported on-site in terms of quality, production, automation and maintenance.

This also lessens any risks involved, shortens implementation, delivers a customised solution and offers specialised support.

In short, the Expertise Center's proposal delivers value based on open collaboration models between manufacturers of digital solutions, manufacturers of production resources and technology centres for the purpose of implementing solutions at industrial plants. The ultimate goal is to adapt their operations to all the elements that form part of an interconnected industrial ecosystem in which they operate to according to certain processes and systems.
