The product is aimed at lean practitioners in manufacturing plants. Managers and engineers are focused on overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) when it comes to measuring, evaluating, and improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes. Up to date, professionals use paper, a pen, and a stopwatch to record the needed time data.

The project provided a mobile application and IoT gadget that automatically measured, analyzed, and reported OEE from the first moment of its installation on the machine, in both the on-premise and SaaS models. After bootstrapping for two years, the project received two investment offers.

The automotive supplier produces several complex metal parts and one of them is the suspension of the steering wheel. The robot welds the 26 seams in 4.5 seconds—the feedback data is collected from a photodiode. Three years’ worth of data was used to engineer features and feed them to various machine learning (ML) models.

As a result, several functions and two models were selected to build an operational grade system that will be integrated into the production process.

Glencore’s oil mill plant is a modern facility—now prepared for the Industry 4.0 journey.

The data platform was architected and developed according to the plant’s unique requirements and the production process. The high amount of data sources required a robust and scalable data pipeline to gather, stream, store, and analyze incoming data in real-time. The various business and engineering scenarios—where data is consumed for daily operation or decision making—were served by flexible and user-controlled visualization and analysis features.

The back end was developed in Python and front end was built over Django and Highcharts with the WebGUI coded in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The custom aluminum-doors-and-windows manufacturer needed to optimize its operations and decided to implement the first step of an Industry 4.0 solution. The system gathers and stores the measured electrical consumption and other attributes of the manufacturing machines—CNC workstations. The system calculates production-specific indicators (uptime-standby-downtime, OEE) that are used for scheduling and production planning. Specific dashboards are configured for the shop floor and to meet the needs of engineers and managers.

During the project, the IT assets were listed and documented in the ARIS toolset, making it possible to navigate the assets visually, read their attributes, and access the repository by queries. The repository served as a CMDB for ITIL.

The Map:
• Application systems along with the apps and modules.
• Data connections between them.
• Functionality and main users (business units and processes).
• VMs and hardware.
