Amper in Industry 4.0

The Amper Group has more than 30 years of experience in various industrial activities, with production sites in Spain (Madrid, Cantabria, Galicia), Mexico, Colombia and Brazil, enabling the convergence of physical and digital technologies within the industrial environment to transform factories and production plants into intelligent ecosystems, capable of adapting and optimising their operations in real time.

Context and challenges

Reducing your carbon footprint and optimising your energy costs

Optimise your maintenance costs, increase the life cycle of your assets and optimise human resources.

Improve the efficiency of your production process

Complement automation that they have not been able to carry out due to lack of resources or knowledge.

Integrate and correlate operational and corporate information from your Automation and Control systems, based on Industry 3.0 technologies that deal with critical issues and are also dispersed.

Automate physical annotations of processes and spreadsheets that only provide post-emergency data.

Integrate maintenance and energy management software as, although they are in the cloud, they are not able to connect to each other and rely heavily on manual data entry.

Adapt to new environmental regulations, with increasingly stringent standards that can lead to significant penalties for non-compliance.

Amper Industry 4.0 Solutions

Process automation, reducing manual intervention, achieving greater operational efficiency, minimising errors and improving product quality, as well as optimising the use of resources, raw materials, energy and machine time, by integrating IoT and data analytics.

Proprietary cloud monitoring platform, essential for an optimal global and detailed visualisation of each of the processes, allowing the configuration of alarms, programming and asset management, etc., both in a web environment and APP.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): design and implementation of algorithms that learn and improve over time, allowing optimisation of aspects related to maintenance tasks, operating costs, energy costs and human resources.

Internet of Things (IoT):

  1. Secure IoT communication networks, including engineering and implementation for all types of industrial environments.
  2. IoT sensorisation : we carry out the sensorisation of a plant through connected sensors that collect data in real time and allow, through advanced analysis tools, to monitor machines and processes continuously and predict when one of them is going to fail, reducing downtime and unnecessary maintenance stoppages.

Advanced Robotics:

  1. Robotic cells: Design, manufacture and installation of robotic cells for all types of industrial designs.
  2. Collaborative robotics: We offer turnkey solutions through collaborative robots (Cobots) that work safely with people, autonomous robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which allow resources to be optimised efficiently and safely.

Predictive and Prescriptive Maintenance: Through which we achieve cost reduction, due to the elimination of unplanned downtime and corrective maintenance by anticipating failures before they occur.

Artificial vision systems: They allow real-time Quality Control and increase product quality improvement, using sensors and vision devices that detect defects in real time, increasing final quality levels and reducing defective products.

Digital twins, Grupo Amper has tools that allow testing changes in the production process virtually before implementing them in reality, and can replicate a product through a Digital Twin to analyse and optimise its behaviour.
