The Brazilian Company Specializes in Industrial Asset Management
Icro Group, a Brazilian company with 67 years in the market, has become a reference for the concepts of Industry 4.0, due to the development and application of smart technologies for the industrial sector.
The implementation of machine intelligence technologies facilitates, among other functions, creating a connection between equipment and maintenance systems through smart devices and infrastructure, acting assertively in data collection, analysis, and forecasting, aiming at the protection, conservation, and productivity of assets throughout their life cycle, even allowing machines to make their own decisions regarding the scheduling of the best moment for maintenance downtime.
According to the Director of Development, Strategy, and Innovation of Icro Group, Armando Marsarioli, we are undergoing a period of digital transformation in industries, which demands Research, Development, and Innovation (PD&I) of increasingly efficient technologies for optimizing operations. “Today, a company that applies the concepts and resources of maintenance 4.0 achieves superior results. The evidence of increased operational efficiency is already apparent, such as reduced machine downtime, elimination of rework and waste, greater lifespan of components, and consequently, reduced maintenance costs,” explains the director.
