“In an era characterized by increased environmental concerns and the pressing need for the industry to become more sustainable, process monitoring has emerged as a key instrument for strengthening the sustainability improvements of diverse industries and operations. Many industries have transitioned into the realm of Industry 4.0, entering an era of digital transformation and data-driven decision-making. However, it is noteworthy that in one of the most critical processes within the wire and cable industry, the wire drawing process, adoption of such advanced monitoring systems has lagged a bit behind.
This presentation summarize some of the results achieved through the last decade of research in the field of wire drawing process monitoring at Örebro University. It sheds light on the specific efforts and advancements made in this field, demonstrating the commitment to bridging the gap and modernizing the wire and cable industry's core process, ultimately contributing to its sustainability and moving the wire drawing process towards Industry 4.0”
