Information Models Improve Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Productivity BENEFITS TO OUR NATION Increased electronics manufacturing productivity leads to higher production
Project Objective
Quantify the efficiency of the ELISA packaging machine by implementing smart sensors and creating a generic packaging machine profile for ELISA Plate Pouching. The profile will include attributes for energy efficiency, predictive maintenance, and asset monitoring.
Benefits to Industry
Electronics manufacturers that implement Ectron’s Smart Manufacturing tools will see improved energy utilization, increased operational efficiencies, and reduced operational costs, all without having to deploy costly engineering or IT/OT specialists to install the Smart Manufacturing tools. These cost savings will allow electronics manufacturers to improve their competitive position and contribute to the viability of the American electronics manufacturing infrastructure.
