Identify Losses, Eliminate Inefficiencies, Optimize Operations!
Manufacturers constantly strive to maximize productivity while minimizing standstills and waste. Without data-driven insights, pinpointing bottlenecks, predicting maintenance needs, and optimizing production lines becomes an uphill battle.
OPTIMIZE is built on 30 years of expertise from an industry-leading automation and contract manufacturing company. This tool centralizes and organizes production data in real time, enabling comparisons, guided analysis, and actionable insights to solve challenges efficiently. OPTIMIZE streamlines root cause analysis, enhances workflows, and drives continuous improvement by evaluating machine performance, energy use, and process efficiency. With predictive maintenance, costly standstills are prevented, ensuring smoother and more efficient operations.
Importance of Optimizing the Shopfloor
Boost Efficiency
Streamlined data integration accelerates comparisons, making it easier to identify and resolve inefficiencies, saving both time and resources.
Enhancement Areas
Seamless Integration:
Connect effortlessly with existing systems, ensuring a smooth flow of information across platforms.
Root Cause Analysis:
Navigate data through guided analysis paths and dashboards tailored to identify specific production issues.
Data Centralization:
Connect and consolidate data from various global sources into one centralized platform for better comparisons and insights. Provide to other systems (e.g. qs-STAT, APIs, etc.) for unified production views and streamlined workflows.
Advanced Computation Module with AI & ML:
Define and calculate custom KPIs aligned with your production needs using powerful AI and ML capabilities. Perform complex data analyses, uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and optimize processes directly within the platform. Leverage integrated data science libraries or custom scripts in Python or R to implement advanced algorithms, ensuring precision, adaptability, and scalability in data processing.
Sustainable Quality Assurance:
Capture and analyze all relevant data at a glance for maximum transparency and efficiency. Maintain consistent product quality while ensuring compliance with industry standards. With long archiving periods, data remains securely stored to meet customer requirements and legal retention regulations.
We know what it feels like to struggle with scattered, inaccessible data, coding challenges for dashboards, and disconnected systems—leaving you unable to take meaningful action. With OPTIMIZE, intuitive dashboards, no-code solutions, and centralized data bring clarity, efficiency, and actionable insights to your production.
Enhanced Performance
Sustained High Machine Performance:
Maintain peak efficiency with continuous performance monitoring and early issue detection to prevent standstills. Leverage predictive analytics and real-time insights to reduce wear, extend machine lifespan, and maximize productivity.
Standardized & Automated Reporting:
Generate automated, flexible reports using open-standard interfaces to ensure unified information sharing and timely distribution of critical insights to relevant stakeholders without manual intervention.
Integrated Business Intelligence (BI):
Connect with existing systems to unify data from diverse sources, ensuring information flow and a holistic view of production operations. Navigate through large amounts of data with ease, transforming raw production data into actionable insights with customizable dashboards and reports. Analyze trends, monitor KPIs, and empower teams to make informed, data-driven decisions.
No-Code Editor:
Easily create and configure reports and dashboards without the need for coding expertise, empowering all users to take control.
Reduced Error Rates through AI Integration:
AI-driven rework processes reduce error rates, improving quality and cost efficiency—as seen at Knorr-Bremse, where errors dropped by 30%.
Accelerated Ramp-Up Phases:
Leverage analytical tools during machine build and ramp-up to expedite production. Detecting process deviations early enables prompt corrections, ensuring a smoother, faster transition to full-scale operations.
