Industry 4.0 Audit & Digital Maturity Assessment (SIRI-based)
SARK Engineers & Consultants provides a rigorous industry 4.0 audit and a practical digital maturity assessment using the SIRI methodology. Our industry 4.0 audit and SIRI assessment produce a prioritized roadmap so plant leaders can fast-track smart factory implementation. The digital maturity assessment quantifies readiness across Process, Technology, People, Data and Security pillars.
What is included in the Industry 4.0 Audit
Our industry 4.0 audit combines on-floor inspection, PLC/HMI scans, network and cybersecurity checks, data availability analysis and operator interviews. The industry 4.0 audit delivers a SIRI scorecard and a prioritized action list to achieve measurable ROI. The SIRI assessment helps rank projects by business impact and implementation difficulty. The digital maturity assessment ties every recommendation to ISO KPIs (Availability, Performance, Quality).
Assessment Methodology (how we run the SIRI assessment)
We run a structured SIRI assessment workshop, followed by field validation and metrics collection. The digital maturity assessment uses SIRI heatmaps to highlight quick wins. The outcome of the industry 4.0 audit is a pilot design pack that contains scope, budget estimate, data needs and KPI targets for each use case.
Deliverables
-
SIRI heatmap and digital maturity assessment score.
-
Prioritized list from the industry 4.0 audit (quick wins, medium projects, long-term).
-
Pilot scope and ROI estimate for each prioritized item.
-
Implementation checklist for MES, IIoT gateway and analytics rollouts.
-
Executive roadmap aligned to the SIRI assessment outputs.
Typical timeline & outcome
SIRI workshop + data collection (2 weeks), field audit (1–2 weeks), final roadmap & pilot pack (1 week). A focused industry 4.0 audit backed by a digital maturity assessment often delivers measurable OEE and energy improvements within the pilot period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Industry 4.0 audit?
An industry 4.0 audit is a structured review of production, OT/IT, data and people to identify gaps and opportunities for smart factory implementation.
What does a digital maturity assessment include?
A digital maturity assessment measures readiness across Process, Technology, Data, People and Security and produces a SIRI heatmap and maturity score.
What is a SIRI assessment?
The SIRI assessment (Smart Industry Readiness Index) is a vendor-neutral framework that evaluates capability and maturity to prioritize Industry 4.0 investments.
How long does the audit and assessment take?
Will the audit work on legacy machines?
Typical engagements run 3–6 weeks from workshop to final roadmap, depending on plant size and data availability.
Yes. The industry 4.0 audit identifies retrofit paths; MiCloud connectivity and edge gateways make digitization of legacy PLCs feasible.
What outcomes should we expect?
A clear prioritized roadmap, costed pilot packs, KPI targets from the digital maturity assessment, and measurable pilot ROI within months.
