Pillar 1:
Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance reduces interrupts and overhead to keep uptime high across the plant floor. Efficient machines are also saved from the excessive wear-and-tear that leads to costly equipment replacement.
By incorporating IIoT-based equipment analytics built on real-time data, CIMC can immediately determine root issues behind unplanned downtime and prevent any impact on productivity.
Supplier of Logistics and Energy Equipment
30-45%
16-20%
CIMC reduced unplanned downtime by 30-45%, which increases production time by +5-8 hours
CIMC reduced manufacturing cycle time by 16-20% across pilot plants
Pillar 2:
operational visibility
Automated, real-time data visibility provides the insights needed to make smart, informed business decisions, reduce scrap and downtime, and optimize CapEx.
By using the IIoT to integrate several disparate sources of data—including plant equipment, PLCs, Quality Systems, ERP, and Maintenance Systems—Brembo was able to provide three different types of real-time actionable data, customized to users’ needs.
Automotive Brake System Manufacturer
Plant Managers
can view the operational efficiency of the entire facility in real-time.
continuous improvement representatives
can troubleshoot any event, regardless of system type.
line operators
can view their production metrics, including actionable alerts like fluid refills.
Digital Work Instructions
By using the IIoT to create up-to-date digital work instructions, Vestas has reduced assembly time and improved operator safety and training.
Global Wind Turbine Manufacturer
Digital threads drastically reduce rework, scrap, and wasted time, so your workforce is more efficient and empowered—and you spend less CapEx on product quality and workforce efficiency issues.
Manufacturing Floor Employees
have digital, real-time access to all information needed to complete tasks safely—including role-specific digital work order information and instructions with rich CAD drawings and videos—all in a single interface.
as digital threads remove the amount of text instructions, employees can focus on the physical object in front of them—significantly reducing the time spent finding the information needed.
Simplified Step-by-Step Process
by 5-25%, for an extra 6-8 hours of productivity.
