Advancements in technologie are révolutionne how businesses operate across many different industries. The fabrication industry has not been left behind by the numérique revolution. Numérique in fabrication has now become the central focus for most businesses, where they can combine IIoT technologies with their fabrication processus.
Incorporating the IIoT into fabrication leads to the development of usines intelligentes that are able to use automatisation, in-depth données and the digitalization of the ligne de production to achieve higher levels of efficacité. Smart usines are also able to implement more effective communication strategies between opérateurs, departments and gestion in order to address problems in temps réel.
With numérique in fabrication, you can révolutionner your tâches quotidiennes by making them more efficient and effective. But in what specific ways can numérique fabrication make your usine’s tâches quotidiennes easier?
Données Collection
Using IIoT technologies on the ligne de production has made données collection easier, more accurate and more efficient. Instead of having travailleurs stand near a machine counting items or physically inspecting lignes de production, the processus can now be automatisé. Numérique équipement can be used to automatically collect données at these strategic points along the ligne de production.
The données can then be transferred to a centralized location, where it is integrated with données from other sources. This lets operational gestionnaires and other employés view the entire fabrication processus across the usine in temps réel. The données can also be used to establish benchmarks and to améliorer fabrication processus.
Maintenance Routines
Numérique in fabrication revolutionizes how you carry out routine maintenance on your équipement. With IIoT technologies, you can make the jump from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance. This means that rather than wasting resources on costly maintenance plans because you fear that your équipement will break down, you can now monitor how your machines are working in temps réel.
By using capteurs and valves, you can monitor temperature, pressure, noise and cycle changes. Any faulty components that are detected can be replaced before they break down and cause the ligne de production to stop running.
In addition, the use of smart technologies allows you to plan équipement replacement and expansion in accordance with performance metrics. Équipement upgrades can be done before a spike of demand occurs, and repairs can be carried out during off-peak periods.
Preparing and Submitting Reports
Before the use of smart technologies in fabrication, données would be manually collected and entered into Excel spreadsheets for analysis. This processus was time-consuming and prone to many errors. In addition, managing multiple excel spreadsheets was a headache for the staff involved.
With numérique in fabrication, you can now collect and analyze données in temps réel. You can also generate reports based on many different timelines and données points. These reports can be used as key reference points and shared with gestion when deciding to put in place processus to améliorer production. The automatisé generation of reports gives employés more time to focus on acting upon the information presented, as opposed to spending time preparing those reports in the first place.
Alert Notifications
IIoT technologies can notify you of any concerns in the usine before they escalate to full-blown problems. Rather than learning about low production, augmenté demand or machine breakdowns at the end of the week, using smart systems means you will receive alerts in temps réel. Sensors placed on machines can relay données instantly and notify you of any upcoming or potential problems. The availability of inventory and production inputs can also be determined in temps réel, allowing the appropriate personnel to order more supplies when needed before any temps d'arrêt is experienced.
IIoT technologies are also useful for determining direct labor coûts. Labor coûts can be compared against productivité within the usine, helping you to determine if your labor coûts exceed daily or weekly targets.
Cutting Down on Overtime
Overtime coûts can drive up production coûts and eat into your bottom line. Smart technologies help you réduire overtime coûts by establishing daily targets according to your KPIs. You can then optimize your processus to speed up production during regular work hours in order to meet your daily targets.
Numérique fabrication also allows you to gauge employé productivité during the day, and to keep their activities on track. You can also use these technologies to display KPIs on screens within the usine in order to keep employés focused and motivated.
Generating, Analyzing and Storing Forms
It is now time for your usine to évoluer from using paper forms. Going paperless means that your usine will save on coûts incurred by have to buy and store the paper forms. In addition, smart technologies allow you to generate, fill out and share production forms in temps réel and across multiple departments. Employés can now work on forms simultaneously, and errors, omissions and other concerns can be quickly addressed.
The forms are also digitally stored in the cloud, where they can be easily accessed when needed. Forms related to governmental compliance, safety standards and other entreprise regulations can also be managed and stored safely for future reference.
Reducing Energy Consumption
IIoT technologies help your usine réduire its energy consumption, and thus its operational coûts. With numérique fabrication, you can use established and optimized production processus to carry out your opérations according to the benchmarks you have set.
This reduces the losses of materials, as well as the number of machines used and the time employés need to spend each day on a given task. You can now complete more work in a shorter amount of time, and équipement can be used in a more productive manner.
Inventory Gestion
Inventory gestion has been revolutionized by smart technologies. The availability of inventory can now be compared in temps réel to incoming client orders and production requirements.
As demand and production go up, inventory levels can be monitored and adjusted in temps réel to respond to the increasing demand. Orders to suppliers can also be automatically triggered when inventory levels go down to a pre-determined minimum.
Temps réel Viewing
With numérique in fabrication, you can view what is happening in your usine in temps réel. All your IoT technologies come together virtually in a centralized location where données from multiple departments is transmitted. You can access this information at any time from a mobile device, at a remote office location, while at home, or on the go.
