Smart tools on the road

A truckload of smart tools and solutions from Atlas Copco is touring Europe, meeting the vision of Industry 4.0.
Atlas Copco Smart Assembly Solution

The vision of Industry 4.0 presents tremendous opportunities, and Atlas Copco is working side-by-side with our customers to turn them into reality. Take an assembly line for instance.

When smart tools are used together with other connected systems, real benefits can be achieved. Atlas Copco’s Smart Connected Assembly is a networked system, where all assembly related tools and processes are networked to each other, and integrated into the production network.

The data generated is used when controlling and identifying improvements in and between the assembly processes, enabling higher quality and efficiency for our customers.

During 2017/2018, Atlas Copco is rolling out a truckload of tools for the Smart Connected Assembly, on a tour through Europe. Find a location close to you – and join in on the revolution.
