Advancing Composite Manufacturing through the Swin Composite Sync 4.0 Data Acquisition System: A Pathway to Industry 4.0 Excellence

Data acquisition systems are pivotal components of modern manufacturing, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0. This paper discusses the significance of data acquisition systems, specifically in the complex landscape of composite manufacturing. Focusing on the Swin Composite Sync 4.0 (SCS4) data acquisition system, the paper explicates its critical role in propelling the industry toward Industry 4.0—a paradigm defined by real-time insights, process optimisation, and transformative potential. The paper delves into SCS4's impact on process monitoring, material characterisation, quality assurance, process optimisation, predictive maintenance, data integrity, and integration within smart ecosystems. By harnessing the power of SCS4, composite manufacturers can navigate the challenges of their industry while embracing the opportunities presented by Industry 4.0.
