Is your shop floor ready for Industry 4.0?

FactoryPal’s connectivity assessment service is designed to help manufacturers unlock the full potential of their production lines by evaluating their connectivity status and digital readiness for real-time data acquisition.

We assess your shop floor for smart manufacturing

We evaluate the connectivity and digital readiness of your production lines, assessing their capacity for real-time data acquisition and identifying opportunities for optimization. Our service provides a detailed connectivity report, delivering actionable insights into your current (as-is) connectivity state, optimal data retrieval scenarios, and the technical interventions required to support your journey toward Industry 4.0.

Consultation & connectivity survey

We kick off your connectivity assessment with an in-depth consultation and survey to gather high-level insights into your existing infrastructure and set clear objectives.

On-site connectivity assessment

We conduct a hands-on evaluation of your production systems to verify telemetry readiness and identify potential bottlenecks.

Digital readiness & gap analysis

We pinpoint gaps in your infrastructure and network to assess compatibility with advanced connectivity solutions.

Recommendations & action plan

We create a tailored roadmap outlining the steps to optimize connectivity and ensure reliable, real-time data flow between operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments.

Connectivity assessment timeline & deliverables

The connectivity assessment process typically takes 3-4 weeks, following a structured sequence of stages that ensure a comprehensive and effective evaluation of your production infrastructure.

Connectivity survey document

A concise questionnaire that you complete, forming the basis for the on-site assessment.

Detailed as-is connectivity status

Documentation of the current state of connectivity, focusing on telemetry readiness and any limitations. This documentation will be then included in the connectivity assessment report.

Digital readiness report

Summary of the findings of the gap analysis and the feasibility of deploying a scalable connectivity solution for real-time data collection. This documentation will be then included in the connectivity assessment report.

Recommended connectivity scenarios & technical interventions

Strategies for retrieving dynamic data effectively & list of necessary actions, including hardware/software upgrades and security measures.
