Entering Industry 5.0 03 October 2024

In the Italian industrial landscape, a new frontier of innovation is emerging – Industry 5.0. In this context, Fastdev, a software specialist supplying ERP and MES systems to the fastener industry, is developing a revolutionary solution to integrate aspects of 5.0 into its systems that can improve the operational activities of manufacturing companies.

The solution proposed by Fastdev was born from a path started over twenty years ago, aimed at promoting the culture of data and automation in the fastener industry. 

Fastdev’s ERP and MES not only addresses manufacturing needs, but also embraces the importance of sustainability and energy efficiency, offering unprecedented competitive advantages and operational improvements. Compared to 4.0, Innovation 5.0 aims to support the development of Italian companies by reducing the overall energy consumption of the production structure by at least 3%; or alternatively guarantee energy savings of at least 5% on the chosen process with a collection and analysis of energy data.

This holistic approach enables companies to monitor the efficiency of their operations in ‘real time’, in order to identify areas for improvement in both energy production and use. With accurate and timely data, manufacturing companies can optimise production processes, reduce waste and improve sustainability.

The ERP and MES systems are also designed to transform the data collected into strategic information, supporting managers in business decisions. With advanced analytics, companies can predict trends, identify improvement opportunities and make informed decisions to improve competitiveness and operational efficiency. The ability to understand and use energy data also enables targeted interventions, reducing costs and environmental impacts, as well as increasing competitive advantage.

Fastdev is not only able to provide cutting edge technological tools, it is also committed to training companies on the importance of data management and reducing energy consumption. Through dedicated training programmes, manufacturing companies can acquire the skills necessary to fully exploit the potential of ERP and MES systems.
