Main technologies applied

CLOUD NATIVE: The on-demand availability of computer system resources, in particular data storage and computing power, without the need for direct active management by the user.

IIOT INTEGRATED: The process of requesting, collecting, importing data from machines, production flows, connected devices for immediate or future use through archiving in a database.

MICRO-SERVICE DESIGNED: The decomposition of a single application into several smaller services to improve its modularity. In a micro-services architecture, services are fine-grained and protocols are lightweight

MOBILE FIRST: Responsive web design allows you to support operations using the most suitable device between desktop, mobile or tablet.

BIG DATA READY: the ability to analyze, systematically extract information or treat data sets that are too large or complex to be managed by traditional data processing application software in a specific way.

DIGITAL TWIN: The creation of a virtual image of the shop-floor, designed and updated in real time in terms of physical machines, processes and resources.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines. These processes include learning, machine learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

Main characteristics

The solution
Brick Reply™ has been designed with strongly innovative components and technologies based on Industrie4.0 paradigms to leverage opportunities of digitalization and offer consolidated manufacturing processes a new life. Nature teaches us how to learn from past events and similarly Brick Reply™ Digital Twin enables a new concept of traditional manufacture control focusing on artificial intelligence implementation. This one, and more, are the key enabling and native technologies that make the platform innovative.

The value
At Brick Reply, we are committed to helping manufacturers reducing expense and the footprint of hardware and its maintenance; to provide simulating tools for the better performance of production lines, saving energy and hitting targets; delivering an open API framework to facilitate the effortless adoption of next generation technologies as soon as they come to market.

The solution
The availability of an IT tool that can quickly adapt to various needs is critical in this historical moment, when time-to-market and diversified production vary continuously. Brick Reply™ is extremely flexible and adaptable to any context, ensuring that the production process can be configured based on the specific plant layout. Micro-services architecture enables you to hide or develop new services and features to support new branches of your business. Moreover, for product development and maintenance, an agile scrum methodology is applied with its interactive, flexible and incremental approach to enable the link between software development and Operations.

The value
At Brick Reply, we developed web-based configuration tools and features to enable the construction of tailored solutions without the need for custom code. Our modular approach allows development teams to rapidly deploy or modify services, to create focused solutions in a fraction of the time compared to traditional development.

The solution
The compatibility with the world of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the ability to integrate consolidated equipment, combined with an innovative “event driven” application architecture, make Brick Reply™ the ideal solution oriented to Industry 4.0. Where business systems, equipment, personnel, are connected and enabled to communicate continuously and in real time, Brick Reply™ supports proactive production management both from the point of view of execution and from that of planning and control, connecting the solution to the equipment and allowing the use of data to improve product quality, reliability and customer satisfaction.

The value
We at Brick Reply care about the environmental impact that late reactions could have, which is why we provide a framework based on open APIs: to facilitate the integration of systems and technologies, connecting the solution to the machines and allowing us to know the updated state of the factory in real time.

The Brick Reply™ solution
Brick Reply™ is not limited to managing the Execution phases, it is a complete solution that integrates machinery, human resources and IT. The ability to configure production workflows and guided work processes makes the production component extremely easy to adopt and simplifies the training of operators and personnel. Brick Reply™ has been developed with a user-centered design to make operations simpler and more effective. The user interface is based on .NET MVC and Angular technologies to be natively highly responsive, user-friendly and intuitive and takes human-machine interaction one step further using natural language processing techniques. It supports mobile operators both online and remotely.

The value
At Brick Reply, we are committed to allowing organizations to focus on their processing procedures, supporting them intelligently where, when and exactly how they need it. Chat-bots to provide instructions, mobile device wizards and executive KPIs are designed to make their use easier and more effective.

The solution
The Brick Reply™ solution is designed with highly innovative components and technologies based on Industrie4.0 paradigms in order to exploit the opportunities of the era of digitalization and bring consolidated production processes to new life. Nature teaches how to learn from past events; in the same way, Brick Reply™ Digital Twin enables a new idea of production control focused on the implementation of artificial intelligence. These and others are the key, native enabling technologies that make the platform innovative.

The value
At Brick Reply, we are committed to helping organizations reduce expenses, footprint and hardware maintenance; provide simulation tools for better performance of production lines that allow energy savings and the achievement of objectives; provide an open API framework to facilitate the adoption without particular difficulties of next-generation technologies as soon as they are available on the market.
