Improving Efficiencies Through Digital Transformation.

The journey of handling assets has moved from knowing the status of the asset to know how to keep up to minimise the unplanned downtimes of the assets. iDACS Data Acquisition system is a flexible, configurable tool to connect any asset, as it is hardware agnostic and uses mostly the native methods and not to increase CAPEX by adding additional hardware. Its configurable workflows allows to create any rule dynamically, which can trigger information or even control the equipment.

The inherent data collected, shall be useful in eliminating all manual data collection and support in production data recording, downtimes, visualisations of KPIs like OEE, analysis of machine parameters to predict the breakdowns.

The service and support industrial application helps scheduling and dispatching service work orders. They also ensure technicians have the required context, instructions, and service information for quick issue resolution onsite or remotely.

What is planned is to be executed, what is executed to be posted back, all must happen in a controlled manner, which is the key from production point of view. iDACS MES will enable you to monitor & control your production. MBOM validation for each child part used in assembly, route enforcement, poka yoke control, parameter capturing for Traceability, automatic material call system where ever whenever material goes short, etc will ensure that the plan is executed meticulously.

iDACS MES will bring lot of savings in digitising the traceability data which will benefit from manual recordings, hours & days of efforts in compiling the data. It will also give the benefit of not producing or not packing a wrong part which definitely pulls down the reputation.

Delivering the right part, in right sequence at right time is the biggest challenge for automotive Tier 1 suppliers, as there is no room for error and corrections when a part is to be assembled or shipped within a window time of 120 mins or so. JIS / JIT implementation is supported from two aspects, one is Assembly (or Build) to Sequence and the second is Ship to Sequence. iDACS supports you to connect to OEM link to download the sequence from various sources like VPN tunnel, web portal, shared folder, etc. iDACS also supports you to trigger your production both on time & sequence ensuring that you will never default in your delivery commitments.

Enterprises pursue perfect material, information and financial flows like zero defects and perfect quality. However, differences exist between Physical Inventory on Hand (POH) and Electronic Inventory Records on Hand (ROH).

Having the real-time visibility of inventory are various stages of manufacturing is not enough to bring in the savings, iDACS triggers the actions on optimising the inventory push & pull between two stages using its Factory Analytics Solution.

Inventory visibility to the granular level is addressed using lot & part labels, which will give complete control on FIFO enablement, traceability of parts, supports in quick identification and ease in moving the material by integrating with material handling systems like AGV.

In addition to the direct benefits like quicker stock taking, stock adjustments, the optimised push & pull of material will give a clear saving close to 20% in reducing the dead / expired inventory, WIP levels.

Digital twin is a virtual manifastation of physical industrial processes, components, assets and complete systems. This permits the enterprises to proactivately solve a problems before they occur reduce downtime and explore opportunites for future growth in a stipulated manner.

The operations/manufacturing intelligence industrial application enables smarter decision making from plant to enterprise level.
