Top challenge in Production Operations.

Overcoming the hurdle of accessing precise, up-to-the-minute production data poses a significant challenge in manufacturing. Many manufacturers currently rely on manual data collection methods for machine Monitoring from their shop floors, which are not only laborious but also prone to errors. This manual process often translates to delayed and imprecise production data, rendering it ineffective for immediate action.

Consequently, this manual data collection for OEE Monitoring gives rise to extensive inefficiencies across the manufacturing landscape. It hampers the ability to initiate process enhancements or validate capital investments while also leading to unanticipated machine downtimes and productivity losses.

The Solution.

Addressing the manufacturing challenge described above can be effectively achieved through the implementation of the Fogwing Matrix Machine Monitoring System. This comprehensive solution provides real-time insights into production operations, streamlining data collection and analysis processes.

How operators data collected for Machine monitoring?

Operators’ input such as stop reasons, fault reasons, quality rejection reasons are collected through Fogwing Edge HMI device. OEE metrics are calculated by combining sensors data on factors such as machine uptime, downtime reasons, production speed, and product quality. The Fogwing Edge HMI device aggregates and preprocesses this data locally before transmitting it to the Fogwing Cloud platform for further analysis. Manager can access real-time OEE metrics and insights through the Fogwing Cloud dashboard, enabling them to make data-driven decisions to optimize equipment performance and improve overall efficiency in manufacturing processes.

How long it takes to implement Machine Monitoring?

The implementation timeline for OEE monitoring typically ranges from 2 weeks to 10 weeks, depending on factors such as the number of machines to be connected, the complexity of the manufacturing processes, and the availability of resources. For smaller-scale implementations involving a few machines, the process may be completed in as little as 2 weeks. However, for larger-scale implementations with numerous machines and complex production environments, it may take up to 10 weeks to fully deploy OEE monitoring systems, including hardware installation, software configuration, testing, and training for operators.

Where is the data collected?

For OEE Monitoring, data is collected within Fogwing Industrial Cloud, specifically through Fogwing Matrix.
