Programme: Programme "Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises" 2021-2027

KMS JSC will carry out a comprehensive digital transformation by implementing modern Industry 4.0 technologies in its operations at its site in the town of Kozloduy. The project envisages the introduction of an integrated enterprise management system with modules for repair activities, warehouse and asset management, fleet management, automation of accounting operations, personnel and scheduling management, as well as a module for real-time production monitoring and analysis. These modules will use leading solutions– the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with sensors, big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics and robotic process automation(RPA), as well as collaborative robots (cobots). Within the project, KMS will purchase and integrate into the digital system modern CNC machines (laser cutting machine & press brake) and a welding cobot, which will automate production operations and will enable the integration of the production process through real-time monitoring, analysis of large volumes of data, edge computing and cloud technologies, with an increasing share of processes being set up and managed remotely and in an automated manner.
Training is planned for 20 employees to work with the new equipment and software in order to ensure the effective implementation of the innovations. A reliable data backup system with protection against ransomware will be implemented to ensure the security of information.
Through the project, KMS JSC will significantly increase the automation and digitalisation of its processes. Real-time data monitoring and analysis will optimise maintenance schedules, reduce downtime and improve production efficiency. AI-based planning and logistics solutions will increase the efficiency of resource use and reduce operating costs. By introducing green Industry 4.0 technologies for waste reduction, more efficient resource management and process digitalisation, the company will reduce its environmental footprint.
