Solution
The implementation of the IPLAS production monitoring and optimization system.
The system allowed for precise observation of what is happening on the production lines. Thanks to data acquisition from testers of finished products, we launched real-time reporting, which presented the progress and performance indicators of the process on an ongoing basis.
The customer could accurately locate the places of problems, their duration, and finally indicate the causes, which made it possible to take the right steps to optimize the entire process.
Effect
As a result of the use of line downtime and operation monitoring, and consequently actions aimed towards solving the detected problems, it was possible to increase the OEE ratio on most lines from 40-50% to approx. 80%.
