Datonis Platform to the rescue
A global metal forging company based out of Pune, India wished to improve their products, business and the efficiency of the production data from their assembly lines. This was a part of its Industry 4.0 initiative.
The $2.5 billion conglomerate which has a transcontinental presence had multiple assembly lines that included machines, robots, and conveyors. They wanted to use IIoT solutions to analyze real-time and historical data to get insights to improve throughput and predict outcomes.
The Problem:
The company had invested in multiple SCADA systems across its lines. But these heterogeneous systems gave birth to challenges pertaining to data collection and presenting a unified view of the production and efficiency data. Moreover, the company was worried that adding more machines would result in a huge growth of data to be processed.
Solution:
To help with the situation, Altizon through its Datonis IIoT Platform provided the company with accurate real-time OEE and production visibility. Prior to the deployment of Datonis, the company calculated these statistics manually and had concerns regarding the data inaccuracy. After Datonis Platform took up the responsibility, all data was collected and analyzed at a central location available anywhere and at anytime. The company could even monitor the real-time condition of the machines in their assembly lines after deploying Datonis.
