Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Articles in this series about Industry 4.0 have shown how precast production facilities can draw step by step closer to the next stage of the industrial revolution. In this process, vision must always be measured against practical relevance and economic efficiency. The main focus of every Industry 4.0 application is integrated information processing and central data management. In respect of precast production facil- ities, this central function is fulfilled by the production master computer. Unitechnik has completely revamped its UniCAM master computer, thereby anticipating future developments in equipping precasters for the fourth industrial revolution. The most important goals in this devel- opment are: growth in productivity, intuitive handling with all modern terminal devices, future viability through using the latest cutting-edge software technology and, independently of any particular manufacturer, the assurance of a free exchange of information in precast factories.
