Connection of production machines of a medium-sized manufacturer to the Industry 4.0 OEE solution of BITS for monitoring and optimization of production<\/h1>\n<\/div>

The task in this project was to monitor and control the production machines of a manufacturer of cooling solutions in the food(easy2cool<\/a>) and pharmaceutical(Licopharm<\/a>) industries using an OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) solution in order to optimize quality, capacity utilization and costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Industry<\/span><\/div>

The tasks of BITS were the IT conception, the individual development of OEE functions and evaluations, as well as the individual connection of the production machines.<\/p>\n

The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key figure that describes the availability of systems in relation to production time.<\/p>\n

The project was carried out on the basis of the MVP procedure of BITS with the aim of being able to start with a first version as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“By connecting our production machines to BITS’ OEE solution, we are able to optimize our production processes in terms of quality, yield, costs and downtime. Thanks to BITS’ agile MVP process model, we were able to implement the project in a very short time, even though we had additional individual requirements. We look forward to continuously expanding the system.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>

Challenge<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

One of the challenges was to realize a quick proof of concept, which, if the test is successful, can be expanded into a finished, future-proof solution.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the production machines had to be made Internet-enabled to enable continuous monitoring.<\/p>\n

Another challenge was to be able to monitor several machines simultaneously on several terminals or from mobile devices by different user groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>
