Is your manufacturing floor equipped as a highly-automated and data-driven facility that leverages advanced technologies to optimize production processes and improve efficiencies? Here are some key benefits of a \u201csmart factory\u201d and examples of our technological innovations that can help achieve your manufacturing goals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Automation, robotics and machine learning (ML) can assist in optimizing production processes, resulting in reduced downtimes and increased output. For instance, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can move materials and products around a shop floor more quickly compared to manual labor. Meanwhile, algorithms can predict if any equipment is likely to fail and schedule maintenance requests accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Another example pertains to the Smart Factory Suite, as it can identify machine downtimes using historical data on root causes. Shoplogix lets users easily view losses occurring on the manufacturing floor. Understanding which materials are causing losses means reductions in throughput disruption and material waste.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Technologies such as sensor networks and artificial intelligence (AI) can monitor production processes and identify defects in real time, allowing users to quickly call for corrective action. Additionally, sensors that are embedded in machines can detect changes in temperature that may indicate an issue. Meanwhile, computer vision systems can inspect products quickly for any defects.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Data analytics, the Internet of things (IoT) devices and cloud computing can collect and analyze significant amounts of data from a manufacturing floor\u2019s production processes. In turn, this can help users make data-driven decisions. IoT devices, for example, can gather data from different sources such as sensors and machines before sending that data to the cloud for storage and analysis. Analytical capabilities can then identify patterns and key insights.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Shoplogix\u2019s Analytics Suite features two offerings that assist in better data analysis and decision making. The Advanced Analytics solution drills into relevant data to conduct root cause analyses, unlocking further performance opportunities. It uses historical data to identify trends and potential relationships. Meanwhile, the Manufacturing Intelligence solution injects additional sources of data into the Shoplogix data. It identifies correlations between additional data sources and Shoplogix core data to bring about improvement opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A smart factory is not just the sum of its technologies, however. It requires a culture of continuous improvement that can fully leverage the plethora of insights and opportunities made readily available through automation, AI, ML, IoT devices and more. That\u2019s where Shoplogix\u2019s dedicated team of experts comes in to align our solutions with your manufacturing goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
