Advantages
        
        
    Increased availability of machines and plants
- 
	
Condition Monitoring allows preventive maintenance without unplanned outages, required spare parts can be planned and ordered in time
 
Better quality assurance up to the end user
- Automated quality assurance processes reduce erroneous deliveries
 - Data acquisition and processing guarantee at any time traceability or optimized production processes
 
        
        
    
        
        
    More efficient production in small quantities
- 
	
Faster changeover times for new product versions, realized by sensors that receive their new identity/function through a main control
 - 
	
Increased efficiency through interdisciplinary communication, if e.g. information on capabilities is directly transferred to production planning.
 - 
	
Energy efficiency through better utilization and fewer rejects thanks to optimized production
