Enter Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0, the digital, flexible and optimized factory

Industry 4.0 incorporates the latest information technologies into production processes. Industrial plants integrate physical and software components to achieve more flexible production processes that optimize resources and save costs.

Industry is immersed in a digital revolution and when talking about Industry 4.0 we find examples of companies that have fiber optic networks to connect more devices, machines, computers, data servers, energy consumption sensors and process and quality variable sensors.

This Fourth Industrial Revolution implies greater individualization of supply and greater flexibility in production processes. To achieve this, the full availability of all information produced in real time is necessary. Therefore, in Industry 4.0, technology is very important, both in terms of infrastructure and information management and exploitation.

Benefits of the doeet system for Industry 4.0

The system doeet MES MOM is an intelligent predictive system and is one of the most important industry 4.0 applications examples. Starting from the data provided directly from the machines, it digitizes the entire production process: units produced, production orders, self-justified stoppages, recording of process variables, recording of energy consumption, etc..

All data are recorded and stored in databases for later exploitation by other systems such as ERP or WMS Warehouse Management System or real-time labeling systems. It also allows the production team to obtain OEE Performance and Productivity data, see improvement trends, implement improvement actions and check their impact on objectives.

  • The implementation of more optimal and integrated production processes, resulting in higher productivity and better resource management.
  • Increased flexibility to achieve mass production and at the same time customized in real time.
  • Direct communication between customers and organizations, which means we can better understand what customers need.
  • Reduction of manufacturing time both in new product designs and in their commercialization.
  • Reduction of the percentage of defective products manufactured thanks to the possibility of virtual testing and the optimization of assembly lines.

Basic pillars of Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0. MES / MOM System Process Control Operations Management

Operations management.

An MES (Manufacturing Execution System) or Manufacturing Execution System as doeet is an advanced system that allows to manage in a comprehensive way all the production processes in the plant.

The MOM doeet system allows us to have at any time a global view of the status of manufacturing and all the operational areas that interact with it.

Industry 4.0. Real-time analytical costs

Real-time analytical costs.

doeet monitors production data : personnel, time, energy, consumption, rejects, stops, speed, thus providing the necessary factors for a highly accurate calculation of the total costs of the manufactured product.

Analytical Costing is fundamental to analytical or cost accounting for industrial operations. The Manufacturing Cost Report allows investigation down to the smallest detail of the causes of cost variances.

Industry 4.0. OEE. MTBF. MTTR Industrial KPIs

Industrial KPIs.

OEE systems link the industrial KPIs of availability, performance and quality of production equipment. OEE provides an overall view of efficiency losses during the manufacturing process.

Knowing the OEE allows the company to work with reliable information in real time, with which to carry out immediate improvement actions at any level.

Visual warehouse Product yields Hyper-traceability

Hyper-traceability.

The concept of Visual Factory is to offer reliable, updated and functional information to improve the operability of companies.

doeet creates customized information panels with the information we want, automatically updated and focused on improving operability. In these panels we can visualize in real time the status of the machines, their productivity, notify warnings or report changes in manufacturing orders.

Manufacturing Operations Management is the first step in achieving Industry 4.0. Factories with computerized production processes are better prepared to respond quickly to market changes.

By applying intelligent systems in real time, we can anticipate, for example, a line stoppage. With doeet, the maintenance team will be able to extract and analyze structured and accurate information from all stored data.

The digitization of the Production and Manufacturing Areas allows optimizing Productivity by providing structured and useful information through availability, performance and quality KPIs. This results in greater efficiency, flexibility and reduced response time to the market, satisfying customers more efficiently and quickly.

Sensors, robots and operators produce a large amount of information related to industrial production. Mobile and wireless connections and cloud computing make it possible to link information from these systems and share it in real time with the rest of the industrial value chain.

doeet captures production data directly from the machines and sends it to the server where we can consult its status from any device.

HMI terminals for Industry 4.0

Communicate with the machines

doeet consists of several HMI (Human Machine Interface) terminals where operators can communicate to the system the status of tasks and production incidents. The interface of the terminals is developed with responsive web technologies: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and can be used on any touch device with Android or Windows operating systems.

The operator communicates via interface buttons the completion of work orders, defective units (scrap) or checks quality checklists. All this data is stored in the doeet system so that it can be consulted in the OEE productivity reports.

Integration between systems

OEE, MES, MOM, ERP…

Until recently many digital systems developed for industry ( OEE, MES and MOM systems) were closed systems, lacking configurability and the flexibility to adapt to changing business and market needs. All allowed processes to be managed efficiently but in isolation. The different systems also did not interoperate with each other in real time.

New technological solutions such as doeet facilitate intercommunication between management systems and manufacturing plants in real time. doeet enables integration with the main ERP systems on the market. This is what is known as system interoperability, which is making it possible to multiply the volume of information that is analyzed and correlated in real time.

Mobile technologies and new human-machine interfaces make it possible to consume the information coming from the different systems, displaying it on the plant floor on devices such as tablets, mobile devices and all types of screens. doeet is built on the most advanced web standards that allow us to access the required information from any place and device.

Competitiveness is extreme, so agile, real-time decision making is essential. Having the necessary enablers that make this possible are in Industry 4.0 examples of a fundamental factor.
