Manufacturing 4.0

Manufacturing is undergoing a transformation on a global scale, powered by the rise of digital technologies.

In order to maintain a competitive advantage, manufacturers need to run the leanest operations, with as little costly downtime as possible. All while maintaining product quality.

That’s why digitising your operations using machine-to-machine communication has never been more important. But selecting the right mobile computing solution is critical to success.

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK is delivering unique value to the industry by applying our experience and expertise in the rugged tech field, helping our customers to streamline workflow processes and enhance performance.

Our rugged TOUGHBOOK notebooks, tablets and handhelds are the perfect fit for production line maintenance, repair and operations (MRO).

Reduce downtime and boost efficiency

Increasing production uptime is one of the key challenges in manufacturing environments. Equip staff with TOUGHBOOK mobile devices to automate processes for the leanest possible operations. Replace the need for pen and paper to reduce handwritten data errors, and give your workers access to planning, scheduling, job and routing information instantly.

Predictive maintenance of production machinery

Predictive maintenance software, running on TOUGHBOOK devices, enables early detection of machine faults, increasing uptime, whilst decreasing the amount of materials and parts necessary for repairs.

Workers can share and access vital information – from machine status and error reporting, to repair manuals, spare parts, historical data and radio-frequency identification (RFID) infrastructure.

Smooth-running warehouse operations & technical services

Running inventory software on a rugged handheld device allows mobile workers to access critical stock and location information in real-time. From receiving and moving, to ordering and dispatching items, TOUGHBOOK devices enable greater picking and packing precision, faster pickup and delivery times, and seamless stocktaking and replenishment.

Service technicians can use our devices as diagnostic tools by simply plugging in any machine that needs to be serviced. The tablet can be used to update firmware, significantly improving first-time fix rates and quality.

From extended battery performance and optimised connectivity to the latest operating systems, dedicated accessories and vibration, drop, water and dust resistance. TOUGHBOOK device features are engineered to be the perfect fit for industrial and manufacturing environments.
