Smart Manufacturing

Most manufacturers face the same challenges of delivering high quality products, at the lowest costs, in the shortest time, whilst ensuring that customer needs are met. The IIoT offers manufacturers many ways to achieve these goals by gaining accurate and real-time business insights.

• Condition Monitoring – gain live and historical data on the condition of your production machinery or the product being made. We design and install smart IoT devices and sensors that monitor vibration, temperature, pressure, humidity, specific gravity and much more.
• Machine Availability – accurately measure planned downtimes during maintenance, job changes, shift changes or unplanned downtime arising from failure, operator absence or materials failure.
• Machine Performance – monitor throughput along with bottlenecks in the upstream or downstream process.
• Quality Control – identify issues resulting from operator, machine, materials or design failure.
• Predictive Maintenance – minimise downtimes by identifying the condition of equipment while it is in-service, determining optimal service intervals and identifying problems before they occur. The result is that you will save time and money by only performing maintenance when it is necessary.
• Reduce operating costs – continuous monitoring can identify down times in a particular process, wastage and supply chain issues.
• Improve efficiency – continuous machine monitoring and processes help operators make informed decisions to become more efficient whilst avoiding operational disruptions.
• Safer work environment – the continuous analysis of machinery can alert operators to any concerns such as excess vibration, temperature or sudden and unforeseen leaks that may otherwise endanger employees.
