Monitor and improve the efficiency of production processes.
Challenge:
The company has 45 machines: milling machines, grinders, lathes, and honing machines. 25 machines are equipped with PLC/PAC or CNC controllers and can supply data. 20 machines are old machines not equipped with any digital controller.
The challenge is to improve production flow and reduce machine downtime.
Disturbances in the flow of production consist mainly in the fact that you have to wait for products from the previous operation, which causes significant delays in production. Machine downtime also affects production delays, and they are mainly caused by inspections and machine failures.
Main Requirements:
- Production flow monitoring,
- Optimization of production planning and scheduling,
- Improved machine utilization,
- Reduction of machine downtime,
- Optimization of the number of operators based on efficiency,
- Optimization of material flow.
Other Requirements:
- Control of production processes.
