Factory ANALYZE

Real-time Insights for Process Optimization

For Operations and Process Experts focusing on continuous improvement, Factory ANALYZE is a suite of manufacturing-specific solutions built on a data foundation. It delivers real-time insights for driving process optimization into:

• Asset Health and Availability

Assessing the condition of machinery and equipment is crucial for predictive maintenance. By identifying potential issues before they lead to failures, you maximize asset availability and minimize unplanned downtime.

• Quality

Effective quality management relies on control measures, inspections, and most importantly, real-time continuous improvement.

• Performance

Real-time performance metrics such as production output, downtime, cycle times, and more enable quick root cause analysis and overall loss prevention.

• Cost and Sustainability

Optimizing production processes and efficiently maintaining assets is essential to manage overall manufacturing costs. Sustainable manufacturing also requires a holistic view of production efficiency and waste reduction.

View Enterprise, Line, and Machine Metrics in Real Time

Gain visibility of overall performance to make data-driven decisions and take proactive measures towards operational efficiency.

• Real-time dashboards allow you to view key performance indicators (KPIs) of any line, process, or factory in real time with event timelines, histograms, variance analysis, and statistical process control.

• A configurable homepage provides quick access to enterprise-wide metrics and analytic tools that allow you to make informed decisions on changing situations or emerging trends.

Quickly Identify High-Priority Losses

Real-time analytics allow process engineers to quickly identify problem areas within production lines, and to take corrective actions to prevent, or reduce, downtime and failures.

• KPI Explorer performs loss tree analysis that enables you to drill down by value. It also automatically shows the greatest loss of metrics for any time period, enabling you to quickly determine the focal point of root-cause analysis.

• Quickly determine why problems occurred and how to prevent their recurrence with over 20 out-of-the-box analytic tools built on top of a contextualized data foundation.

Conduct Continuous Improvement on the Shop Floor

Continuous improvement is critical to improving manufacturing efficiency and achieving productivity improvements.

• Based on analysis of machine performance, historical quality data, and environmental conditions, Cookbooks delivers real-time recommendations for optimal machine settings.

• Optimal machine settings are continuously updated in real time to operators on the shop floor through Operator CoPilot.
