Background

The FactorySense project started from the industry needs to visualise their own process from another perspective – to use the enormous amount of existing process data, near new ones, to have a high-level process overview.

And the most important need it was to find ways to increase, correct and sustain the production efficiency.

The FactorySense approach is to monitor different main process variables, to integrate and calculate specific indicators, making easier to establish strategic goals.

Out of this, on the FactorySense application we will build specific raw and synthetic variables dashboards.

The system will provide a first data process analyse, with the variable’s influence in the analysed process.

Then, the system will show few scenarios if applied the proposed optimisation change.

In this way we can immediately see the real impact in following the proposed optimisation intervention, through the same dashboarding system – each and any modification will produce an effect – direct monitored and shown on dashboards.

Using FactorySense approach, we will integrate new specific sensors in the customer process, connected to the platform from the beginning.

But in the same time, we can capture and connect also existing sensors and even lab analyses or other important offline data, to have the correct influence analyse and to produce efficient optimisation proposals.

Using this approach, we analyse already different business and process, in different industries and verticals:

– in chemical plants, we analyse chemical process efficiency, with a realistic immediate impact.

– in discrete manufacturing, we monitor and analyse time related events for each small step, on manufacturing, logistic, assembly phases, also with relevant visualisation of the fabrication process, and with efficient optimisation propositions.
