Achieving better data quality and a more effective production processes via analysis of malfunctions

Once the OEE has been established as a key metric, the next step is to fully understand all related metrics covering availability, performance and quality. To achieve meaningful metrics, the involvement of the machine operators is vital.

Business Intelligence for the modern factory

Metrics are key to manage and control companies and processes. An automated reporting system helps achieve objective and timely reports.

How to obtain critical facts & figures for production control and scheduling without networking the factory

To support the planning and control of production orders, collecting a large number of process and quality data is required. When building a network is not feasible there are other ways to obtain the required information.

How Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) lead to the real-time factory

An MES collects and analyzes data in real time. Operators only need to become involved when a response is required because of error warnings or other complications.

Strengthening company-wide Operational Excellence via standardizing the information flow

Cross-plant comparisons and exchange of information creates additional knowledge (Business Intelligence) and strongly supports a comprehensive improvement program (Operational Excellence).

Integrating Manufacturing Execution and Continuous Improvement combines the reactive and proactive control loops. This adds a new form of dynamism and motivation to the continuous improvement process.

Quality assurance for production areas with adverse environmental conditions

Electronic systems for quality control and quality control due to their vulnerability to dirt and dust can not be sensibly used in some production areas. The right choice for these areas is a simple sampling plan based system that reliably supports all tests, evaluates and can also exchange data with other quality or analysis tools
