Real-time Process Monitoring Increases Productivity and Reduces Scrap BENEFITS TO OUR NATION By leveraging real-time production data monitoring and analytics,
Project Objective
Design and build a solution called “Win the Hour (WTH)” that enables Small & Midsize Enterprises to drive productivity improvements by monitoring and managing their daily productivity performance on an hourly basis.
Benefits to Industry
Monitoring and managing discrete parts manufacturing production data presents invaluable advantages to manufacturers. Utilizing these real-time process monitoring and management tools enable proactive decision-making and process optimization, leading to enhanced production efficiency and improved resource allocation. Additionally, detailed production data facilitates continuous quality improvement initiatives that drive growth and profitability. Implementing advanced data monitoring and management tools will enable discrete parts manufacturers to bolster competitiveness and become leaders in their respective markets.
Technical Approach
The “Win the Hour” App will be augmented to include a new Smart Manufacturing profile for an assembly asset at the industrial partner site. The App will be built using a microservices architecture and integrated to the CESMII Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform (SMIP). To develop the App, FullBore will leverage connectors in the edge layer of the CESMII SMIP to connect and ingest real-time data from the factory floor asset through the OEM platform and store the data in a time series database in the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform.
