Challenge
We collaborated with a well-known multinational company in the industrial and automotive sector that develops technologies combining design, engineering, and digitalization.
In some departments, it had fragmented management systems that were not configurable and scalable, which slowed down the processes. From there, we began to innovate their operational management systems.
Objectives
/01
Ensure quality
The lack of digitalized systems exposed the company to the risk of slowdowns: tracking every stage of processing and digitalizing production lines is crucial to ensure the quality and control required by regulations.
/02
Enhance the data
Different suppliers and software that does not communicate with each other make the analysis and protection of the collected information difficult or pointless.
/03
Increase efficiency
In the era of industry 5.0 we redefine the human-machine relationship, so it is necessary to design integrated and centralized software that concretely helps companies starting from the collected data.
Approccio
After careful observation of the production lines and operational flows, we analyzed needs and limitations of the current management systems to truly understand the context.
The work focused on:
Ensuring the most accessible and seamless experience possible for operators in terms of user interface and usability in complex environments;
Integrate with existing machinery and systems, to promote a gradual and sustainable digital evolution that remains accessible in terms of costs and timelines.
Solution
Functionalities
The system acquires heterogeneous data from the shop floor, that is, from machinery, sensors, and PLCs, and transmits it to higher systems such as MRP, MES, or Cloud for advanced analysis and reporting.
It supports various protocols and communication formats, including TCP, Database, File (XLSX, JSON), PLC, MQTT, and HTTP, both in input and output.
It is compatible with major cloud environments, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, and integrates with robots, production machines, PLCs, network drives, and sensors, ensuring complete connectivity and centralized management of operations.
This is a SCADA/IOT application made up of various configurable modules that can be managed remotely, designed for real-time data collection, activity monitoring, and automation of inline operations.
At the core of the system is a traceability software developed according to the WCM methodology (World Class Manufacturing): it is a multi-platform, modular, scalable software that is based on interface abstraction and data normalization, which also serves as a dynamically gateway between the field and management systems.
