Line Controller
The digital foreman for the production line
Your challenge
Traceability, smooth processes, and quick reactions to changing circumstances play an important role in today’s production processes.
Even after automation has taken place, inadequate information flows can remain between ERP/MES and the production lines.
This is a real productivity killer
-
For example, if recipes for the order must be transferred manually, this results in a low speed and high susceptibility to errors.
-
Traceability is also a major problem. Often there is no suitable feedback channel that provides specific production data such as:
-
Have the correct components been installed?
-
Has the production strictly adhered to correct process times, as for example with ventilating the primer during gluing?
-
Our solution
We bring intelligence into your (existing) line.
The Line Controller solution we have developed links your MES/ERP intelligently and individually with your production line.
In addition to pure data collection, it is possible to have a detailed process analysis. This reveals whether a change to the line has achieved the desired goal and even intervenes in production if necessary.
This monitoring function ensures that the quality of your products does not suffer and avoids defective production.
Our Line Controller solution also enables your employees to concentrate specifically on process monitoring. This reduces the susceptibility to errors.
