Production planning:
- Material flow data collected enable conducting Lean processes
- such as Value Stream Mapping to identify bottlenecks
- Test data collected enable conducting accurate Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- to improve planning and product costing
Assembly/ Quality Control:
- Product testing data logging (existing or new sensors)
- Smart fluid dispensing systems (dosing control)
- Test automation
- Monitor machine-health data such as;
- vibration/noise levels
- power consumption to enable predictive maintenance
- Machine access control (RFID)
- create machine usage/ operator logs
