Brick4future: an application to learn more about the Industry of the Future technologies
The Brick4future application launched by the Industry of the Future Alliance guides companies on their pathway to modernisation. It offers many tools, including a roadmap to assess how close they are to achieving their targets.
A digital guide for exploring the Industry of the Future. With Brick4future (consult on www.referentiel-idf.org), the Industry of the Future Alliance (AIF), of which Cetim if a founding member, offers a tool that enables companies to learn more about all the technological bricks available to properly modernise their facilities without losing sight of their goal.
A clear reference system
This application is built around a unique reference system designed by AIF which lists and categorises all the fields and technologies which are essential for the Industry of the Future, such as materials, electronics, automation, digital technology and so on. To this end, it is based on three levels. The first is composed of six drivers of competitiveness which offer six scenarios to reach the Industry of the Future: “Connected objects and industrial Internet”, “Advanced production technologies”, “New approaches for people at the workplace, innovative organisation and management”, “Plants and connected, controlled and optimised lines/batches”, “Integrated customer / supplier relations”, “New economic and societal models, strategy and alliance”. Each of these drivers links to the second level composed of 29 technological themes which each break down into a certain number of macrobricks (69 in all) and bricks (more than 400) in the third level. At the third level, the reference system offers the user the opportunity to simulate the implementation of technologies, in order to compile a “roadmap” of its path to the Industry of the Future. The user can also define a profile and be contacted by an expert of the Alliance to exchange views and receive advice. The application has two browsing modes: free access or access by identification with a login and a password. In this case, the system saves all choices made by the user.
Additional tools
Besides this “mapped” pathway to the modernisation of its company and production tool, Brick4future also offers several sources of additional information for industrial manufacturers, including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and compendiums of explanatory sheets of the various components of the reference system and practical applications in the forms of articles and videos.
The Brick4future application is freely accessible on the website: www.referentiel-idf.org
