Shopfloor Operations Management Solution Prevents Downtimes

The latest application in the Digital Suite, Shopfloor Operations Management (SOM) automatically retrieves relevant data from system controllers and processes them, together with other performance indicators into a clear form.

SOM shows at a glance the current situation in production and reveals any potential problems early. The performance indicators can be compared with past shifts and orders to optimize processes in the future.

Since SOM is directly integrated into the coordinating control, best possible data quality including precise time stamps is assured. The accurate production data also ensures a more realistic cost calculation. Full connectivity to customer ERP/MES systems as well as open data interfaces to AI solutions are also guaranteed.

Via a user-friendly terminal for entering machine data, external causes of system downtimes can be quickly and easily recorded. Custom notes are supported, as well as addressing specific issues to the relevant responsible person using a ticketing system.

Features:

• Increasing plant availability by reducing downtimes
• Increasing in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
• Accurate production data for realistic cost calculation
• Planning of predictive maintenance measures for cyclic machine failures
• Highest data quality through control integration
• Target-oriented measures for error prevention
• Full connectivity to customer ERP/MES
• Open data interfaces to AI solutions
• More transparency in production through key performance indicators
• End-to-end documentation
• Revealing of organizational improvement potentials
• Everything digitally at a glance
• Predictive Maintenance in the event of frequent machine faults
