Use Case 1: Machine connection

Task

Companies often have machines/plants from different manufacturers in their production environment. This prevents communication between the individual production units. There is a lack of central order management as well as an overview of the entire process, such as plant status, produced quantities or OEE key figures. There is also no cross-machine recording of quality data.

Solution

• installation of an edge device on each machine
  • networking of the devices among each other
  • connection of the necessary signals
  • display to show the order data
• consolidation of the machine data
• installation of a public display for status indication (optional)
• connection to ERP (optional)

Result

• productivity increase through central order management
• continuous order control from ERP to the machine
• transparency of the entire process through OEE key figures
• quality increase through precise recording of process data
