fabrication<\/a> companies, updating the machine, operator data to the existing ERP on a daily basis poses a huge challenge.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBesides, every day the supervisor has to monitor and track the operator, machine data manually and update it to the higher authorities.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis is a backbreaking and time-consuming process that contributes to bad decision making and floor heads are left with fewer and unrealistic data to decide from.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSo, the first step is to bridge the gap between the shop floor and top floor.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nShop floor automation (digitization)<\/mark><\/b><\/h5>\nThis can be achieved by empowering the operators\/supervisors with the mobile app and connecting IoT devices to machines.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDigitizing the machines with an IoT device would help operators record the data in real-time through a mobile app. Updating the data to ERP using the mobile app is seamless and any operator can perform this job on-the-go.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlso, the top-level executives of manufacturing units will be powered by an interactive business dashboard to monitor real-time operations and this necessitates faster decision making.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe second step is to assign tasks dynamically to operators for improved productivity.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\nJob card digitization<\/mark><\/b><\/h5>\nSimilarly, the supervisors would be able to assign and schedule tasks to operators from anywhere, any time using the apps. Also, the digitization enables the supervisors to assign tasks to employees dynamically when the task is not completed fully or the task-assigned employee is on leave.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith everything digitized monitoring the complete job cards assigned against each and every operator becomes super easy for any supervisor and saves a lot of his time.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThese two automation steps apparently increase labour efficiency (LE) and overall productivity on the shop floor.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe third step would be to utilize the machines efficiently for avoiding costly machine repairs.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nPreventive maintenance<\/mark><\/b><\/h5>\nWell, with improving labour efficiency, the next step would be improving the overall efficiency of the equipment. Unplanned maintenance is one of the reasons for the drop in manufacturing productivity and having this unnoticed for a long time declines machine efficiency. You won\u00e2€™t be able to utilize the equipment to its fullest due to the frequent maintenance of the machines even when not required.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlso, unplanned downtime can be exorbitant as it involves instant repair costs and labour fee to negotiate the challenge.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith a preventive maintenance(or planned maintenance) system in place, monitoring the devices is simple, efficient, and cost-effective.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe preventive maintenance system includes IoT devices fixed on the machines to monitor their performances in real-time.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe real-time data garnered through these next-gen devices help the operators identify the downtime well in advance to prevent costly repairs and labour costs.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSimply put, you\u00e2€™d be able to prevent unplanned downtime with real-time data. This will also help you utilize your machines efficiently throughout their lifecycle rather than frequent maintenance or unplanned maintenance. The data also helps you measure the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) as well.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe fourth step would be ensuring employee safety on the shop floor.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nEmployee safety management system<\/mark><\/b><\/h5>\nAnother major setback for any employee within a manufacturing unit is safety when handling machines. Performing a checklist of the machines that are in a sensitive environment on a daily basis and reporting the incidences manually could be nightmarish as this involves a lot of risks.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nEnsuring employee safety is a must to help and motivate them to deliver better.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWith an employee safety management application in place, carrying out equipment checks regularly is simple. Besides, the employees can also raise incidences, machine defects, malfunctions, and report observations to the higher authorities on-the-go and on-time to get the condition of the equipment to deteriorate further.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSo, by automating your day-to-day shop floor operations with the aforementioned solution(s) would help your business accelerate productivity, motivate employees and ensure substantial growth.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTransform your shop floor operations with an automation solution(s) now to beat the competition and deliver an unparalleled customer experience.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nObtenir une consultation gratuite<\/div>\n
