Industrial IoT Practice

Industrial IoT, Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing is about more than increasing machine utilization. There are other factors to take into account to transform your plant into a “Smart Factory.” Manufacturers must:

Reduce downtime
Ensure fast and efficient troubleshooting
Lower inventory, logistics and warehouse costs through Just-In-Time production
Access key metrics from the shop floor instantly

Our Industrial IoT practice can help you connect your shop floor, determine what information to capture, analyze key metrics, and devise a strategy to implement production improvements.

Industrial Connectivity

Our Industrial Connectivity practices helps you connect to the shop floor so you can collect and standardize machine data and communicate that data across the organization, whether in one factory or across a global footprint.

We can help you:

Connect to your new and legacy machines
Connect sensors to monitor vibration, temperature, humidity, current, voltage and other operating conditions

Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Our MES practice works to promote a deep understanding of a manufacturer’s Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). We deliver a factory-wide, cross-industry solution that combines the collection of machine and production data, visualization, alerts, labor tracking and ERP integration.

Traceability

Our Traceability practice allows you to create a “birth certificate” for all of your products. This gives you the ability to continually track your products during production, always knowing exactly where, when, and by whom it was processed, where it was stored and how it was transported.

Traceability allows for full transparency throughout the entire product lifecycle back to the individual parts. Each product is clearly identifiable either by a serial number, a lot or batch number.

Dynamic Scheduling

Our Dynamic Scheduling practice uses finite capacity scheduling and a simulator-based engine to help you optimize the production process. With this ability, you can:

Simulate optimized order for work orders
Automate costing during work order simulation
Optimize setups and cycle times
Identify alternative planning before releasing a new production plan
Understand capacities and utilization
Track work orders and parts throughout the production cycle
Visualize order dependencies and complex processes

Performance Analysis

Our Performance Analysis practice focuses on three core areas:

Reporting. Lets you monitor all performance data in-depth over time.
Visualization. Gives you a fast overview of what is happening, where.
Alerting. Automatically informs you about incidents on the shop floor and allows for corrective action in real time.
