X.O Concepts, Sri Lanka’s pioneering Industry 4.0 solution provider, has launched the Aurigaa Industrial Cloud – a consolidated suite of intelligent and innovative solutions bound to revolutionise manufacturing in the country. 

The futuristic cloud-based solution, which is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, is designed to enhance efficiencies in manufacturing by unleashing the power of data through the industrial internet of things (IIoT).

Aurigaa Industrial Cloud is a cost-effective, comprehensive solution that enables organisations to collect real-time, accurate data from various types of sensors, machines and other manufacturing equipment, systems such as ERPs, planning tools, or even via manual methods. It offers complete visibility throughout the manufacturing processes, specifically the shop floor and supply chain processes, enabling companies to identify operational pain points and resolve them for greater efficiency and smoother workflows.

Aurigaa Cloud offers several advantages including automated data capturing, real-time monitoring, operational visibility, actionable insights, remote access, inbuilt security, and minimal intervention. The collected data is presented in the form of customised dashboards, reports, and advanced analytics to facilitate decision making in a timely manner. Moreover, Aurigaa Cloud offers a suite of sustainability solutions for companies to track their goals towards a safer, smarter planet.

According to X.O Concepts Chief Technology Officer Dilan Walgampaya, “The fourth industrial revolution is manifesting all around us at an unprecedented pace, and many organisations today are flying blind due to the lack of visibility. The true value is created when data is gathered in real time, ensuring completeness and accuracy, thereby enabling companies to take proactive decisions and actions. And that is exactly what Aurigaa Industrial Cloud offers.

“Furthermore, Aurigaa Cloud comprises connectivity, advanced analytics, and automation technologies which make it easier for factories to restore operations against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The digital tools offered by Aurigaa Industrial Cloud require minimum human intervention and attention, allowing employees to work remotely while complying with health and safety regulations.” 

X.O Concepts provides in-house-developed electronics that bridge the machines to Aurigaa Cloud and are purposefully built to meet different customer requirements and withstand tough environments. Additionally, it offers specialised field services and continuing support for the hassle-free installation of sensors and devices.

X.O Concepts Chief Executive Officer Indika Karunaratne states: “Our vision is to make Industry 4.0 a reality in Sri Lanka. We’re investing heavily in R&D to unveil a relevant and suitable technology stack for various industries, of which Aurigaa Cloud is now a prominent component. Sri Lanka has a reputable manufacturing sector and we’re certain that the Industry 4.0 concepts by X.O Concepts can add remarkable value to organisations in this space.” 

X.O Concepts is a homegrown Sri Lankan company driven by the vision of transforming and empowering businesses with customised data-driven solutions. As an enabler of Industry 4.0, it is the ideal partner for manufacturers looking to elevate their business operations especially within the sectors of apparel and textile, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and more.
