The Missing Link of Smart Manufacturing… ISA-95
Presented by Ectobox, Inc.
What comes after a company has addressed issues around downtime, quality, production with a specific IoT solution? For companies that want to continue improving, growing, and competing in their markets they should look at the communication of data between the business unit and the plant floor.A company succeeds when, among other things, the right people have the right data at the right time.
Using Machine Utilization Data to Drive Industrial Operations
Presented by Boundary Labs, Inc.
Machine utilization tracking can prove to be a tremendous means of driving operational change on industrial factory floors. Using technology such as sensors and tablets, it’s possible to capture the instantaneous cause of downtime and display this on a dashboard to observe trends in asset utilization over time to identify unscheduled downtime. This allows easy targeting of high impact problems, eliminates manual data collection, streamlines communications between shifts, and optimizes preventative maintenance scheduling.
