– Softweb SIM 4.0
Smart Factory Solution- SIM 4.0 for Industry 4.0 Manufacturing
Reduce downtime, optimize production, and gain real-time visibility across your operations with SIM4.0.
Leverage IIoT, AI, and real-time analytics to optimise production, reduce downtime, and drive data-driven decision-making across your factory operations
What is SIM 4.0?
Industry 4.0 integrates IoT, AI, and real-time analytics to create connected, intelligent manufacturing environments. It enables predictive maintenance, production optimisation, and seamless data flow across machines and systems. SIM 4.0 is an advanced Industry 4.0 platform that enables digital transformation across end-to-end industrial operations
It connects machines, fleets, processing units, and production lines into a single intelligent ecosystem—enabling:
Real-Time Visibility
See what’s happening on the floor as it happens, not after the shift ends.
Predictive Intelligence
Spot problems before they become downtime.
Centralised Control
One platform for every plant, line and fleet.
Data-Driven Decisions
Act on accurate, authentic operational data.
How it Works
How SIM 4.0 turns shop-floor data into decisions
SIM 4.0 is built as a layered platform — from sensor-level data capture on the floor to AI-driven analytics and dashboards in the boardroom
1
Data Capture
IoT sensors and edge devices on machines, fleets and lines capture production, quality and energy data as it happens.
2
Centralised Intelligence
Data from every machine, plant and site flows into a single ecosystem, replacing fragmented, siloed systems.
3
Predictive Analytics
AI models analyse patterns to flag maintenance needs, quality risks and bottlenecks before they cause downtime.
4
Dashboards & ERP Push
Insights and alerts reach the right teams instantly, with data flowing directly into PACE360 or your existing ERP.
Still Struggling with Inefficient Operations?
Are outdated manual processes limiting your factory’s efficiency, scalability, and profitability?
Are quality issues, unplanned downtime, and inefficient planning disrupting your production and delivery timelines?
Are fragmented systems, poor traceability, and lack of real-time insights preventing effective decision-making?
While others adopt Industry 4.0, are you still struggling to keep pace with data-driven, intelligent manufacturing?
Revolutionize manufacturing with SIM4.0
Elevating productivity by 30%, reducing downtime by 25% and optimizing processes with real-time analytics.
SIM4 Capabilities & Features
Built to give every layer of your operation real-time intelligence
Real-Time Production Monitoring
Track output, quality and machine status across every line as it happens, not in end-of-shift reports.
Predictive Maintenance
AI flags early signs of wear or failure
— unusual vibration, temperature drift — before a breakdown stops the line.
Machine Performance Analytics
Benchmark machine and operator KPIs to identify underperformance and improvement opportunities.
Energy Consumption Optimisation
Identify energy-heavy processes and equipment to cut operational cost without cutting output.
Automated Quality Inspection
Computer-vision-assisted checks catch defects earlier and more consistently than manual inspection.
Centralised Operational Dashboards
One live view across plants, lines and fleets for management and shop-floor teams alike.
ERP Integration
Production and quality data flows directly into PACE360 or your existing ERP, aligning operations with business goals.
IoT Device Connectivity
Connects smart sensors, PLCs and legacy machines alike into a single data layer.
Why SIM 4.0
SIM 4.0 vs. Traditional Factory Monitoring
SIM 4.0 replaces manual log sheets and standalone SCADA-only monitoring with one connected, predictive platform.
