The path to smarter production.

greybee implements a unified hardware and software environment for an international turbine manufacturer – interruptions are minimised, efficiency maximised.

greybee plans the digitisation of production, laying a key initial building block for the introduction of Industry 4.0. Production units such as milling machines and lathes in the workshops (shop floor) are linked to the enterprise IT environment to create seamless transmission of order data to the machinery.

In addition, quality data generated during production is transmitted to the client together with the component, enabling complete quality control. greybee plans and manages this strategic programme and manages all subcontractors. The workshop workers are given training on the changing production processes.
