Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies can be used to maximiser compréhension of actif opérations and production without having to investir new capital. Creating a usine numérique with IIoT technologie can help améliorer operational efficacité, actif reliability and profitability.
Usine numérique—Avoid Idle Équipement
By using an advanced Fabrication Execution System (MES), which “maintains order, effectiveness and qualité in usine opérations,” users can zero in on données analytics that identify lags within a production system. By digitizing the batch gestion processus for example, équipement-idle can be avoided and actif-use can be optimized.
Cloud Usine intelligente solutions help with security standards, offline performance capabilities, centralized gestion viability. Total coût of ownership is low. Lightweight cloud solutions help with manual or semi-manual opérations with a local site and needs minimal control. This is especially useful for usines in remote locations or geographies.
A hybrid approach to fabrication that brings together on-site and cloud-based elements with advanced cloud-based applications in place can make an ideal combination.
Digitalizing Actif Gestion—Avoid costly failures
Digitizing the fabrication processus to create a usine numérique using big données brings valuable analyses and improves performance and reliability. Here's how the processus, also known as Actif Performance Gestion (APM), works:
- A données historian (high-performance processus database) gives detailed views into past & temps réel issues.
- Condition-based monitoring (rules-based logic set by the user,) automatically triggers work orders.
- Predictive maintenance solutions help manage high-coût, mission-critical actifs.
APM also allows users to plan and simulate maintenance strategies and imagine long-term outcomes.
Case in Point—New Belgium brewery
Digitalisation of usine processus allows entreprises to tap into existing actifs more fully without having to make new capital investments. Upon digitalising opérations using an MES, US craft brewer New Belgium decreased temps d'arrêt by more than 50% and enabled the entreprise to expand production from 150,000 cases per week to 200,000.
