How to approach Manufacturing Excellence?

Assest visibility and data regularisation Organising data in a structure enabling plan layouts, assests, P&ID's as well as workflows in a layout that represents your shopfloor using iLOL™ over the digital twin acts as a base for all the insights you will draw upon
Enabling Self-Optimizing Systems At this advanced stage, manufacturers adopt systems capable of autonomous decision-making.

Deriving Actionable Insights Industries focus on utilizing data to track operational performance and uncover root causes of inefficiencies. Using IT/OT integration data from sensors, ERP systems, and MES software, actionable insights are generated
Predicting Future Outcomes This stage emphasizes the predictive power of analytics by leveraging machine-learning algorithms to forecast operational behavior.

Key Metric for Manufacturing Excellence

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a key performance metric for manufacturing efficiency, measuring how effectively equipment is utilized.

Availability: Address unplanned downtimes and ensure optimal equipment utilization.
Performance: Monitor and enhance equipment speed and throughput.
Quality: Minimize defects and ensure first-pass success.
