Systems Architecture is much more then technology. Systems Architecture in the 4th revolution (also known as Industry 4.0) is a complete and multi-disciplinaire strategy with solutions like; Mechatronics, IT/OT Networking, Big-Data, Security, Artificial intelligence, business processes and much more…
Smart Industry
Mechatronic systems architecture refers to the design framework and structure that defines how various subsystems (mechanical, electrical, and software components) interact, communicate, and work together to achieve a specific function. The architecture (based on ISA88) acts as a blueprint, laying out the system’s components and specifying how they interact with each other.
Modular Systems Design with ISA-88 allows companies to design batch processes with modularity and flexibility in mind. This means instead of managing a complex, monolithic system, industries can now deploy Equipment Modules, Control Modules, and Process Units as distinct, reusable elements that can be easily reconfigured, replaced and momnitored with IoT connectivity.

This modular mystems structure allows real-time data, predictive maintenance, and automated optimization, which unlock new levels of performance, flexibility, and efficiency in batch processing environments. This integration allows for smarter manufacturing, higher-quality products, reduced downtime, and lower operational costs, all while maintaining compliance with industry regulations. By embracing Industry 4.0 and ISA-88 mechatronic standardization, your company can stay ahead of the curve, turning each product into a continuous service experience that evolves with your customers’ needs, which we call servitization.
Servitization is the Business Architecture strategy of adding services to traditional products to provide more holistic, long-term value. Instead of just selling a machine, servitization offers a total solution—from maintenance and upgrades to training, analytics, and continuous support.
