Case study: IIoT effectiveness on the plant floor

Case study: IIoT effectiveness on the plant floor案例研究：工厂车间的IIoT效果

Collect data to augment equipment effectiveness and for machine eff ciency.
automotive supplier HFI approached system integrator MartinCSI to implement Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies to capture what was happening on the plant floor and relay that information to management for analysis. Weeks later, HFI had access to machine data, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) metrics, and remote access to reporting.
The IIoT challenge Like many manufacturers, HFI was ready to explore the advantages of implementing IIoT capabilities and data analysis.
IIoT implementations tout the ability to identify trends, analyze Big Data, provide actionable insights, and increase productivity. HFI had another systems integrator implement an applica tion that captured data from one machine.
A significant amount of machine data had been collected with information on every
sensor, input, and output.
A lot of data was available, and no one knew exactly what was important, who to get it to, or how to benefit from it. It just sat there.

IIoT data relevancy
MartinCSI designed a system to collect machine data, store it on a cloud server, and provide HFI with direct access to the database. The implementation did not require purchasing expensive hardware, smart sensors, or equipment with embedded intelligence. HFI’s existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and network architecture remained unchanged.
The system integrator and client worked with HFI to create OEE metrics and reports that were used to determine machine efficiency. MartinCSI facilitated the collaboration of multiple departments in HFI to establish the most relevant machine data points to collect and feed into the data visualization application used for custom reporting. The system integrator also delivered useful information to HFI personnel enabling them to make meaningful decisions to promote increased productivity, quality, and profitability.
IIoT results
After analyzing the collected OEE metrics and reports, HFI was surprised to find the machine was operating at 50% capacity. Tools also were provided to make well-informed, intelligent decisions. HFI was able to investigate the cause and work with engineering and production to develop a path toward increased machine uptime. Real-time reporting shows what impact the changes are having on production.
Once they have established best practices for efficient machine operation they can roll out a systematized process across all locations. The out-of-the-box features and easy installation allowed deployment as needed with “standard metrics and KPIs [key performance indicators] with an integrated view of multiple facilities,” not provided in other technologies Karen Hartley, the HFI director of IT, had seen. 

 

收集数据以提高设备效率和机器效率。
汽车供应商HFI与系统集成商MartinCSI联系，实施工业物联网（IIoT）技术，以捕捉工厂现场发生的情况，并将这些信息传递给管理层进行分析。几周后，HFI可以访问机器数据，整体设备效率（OEE）指标和远程访问报告。
IIoT挑战与许多制造商一样，HFI已准备好探索实施IIoT功能和数据分析的优势。
IIoT实施体现了识别趋势，分析大数据，提供可操作的见解和提高生产力的能力。 HFI让另一个系统集成商实现了从一台机器捕获数据的应用程序。
收集了大量的机器数据，每个数据都有相关信息
传感器，输入和输出。
有很多数据可供使用，没有人确切知道什么是重要的，谁来获取它，或如何从中受益。它只是坐在那里。

IIoT数据相关性
MartinCSI设计了一个系统来收集机器数据，将其存储在云服务器上，并为HFI提供对数据库的直接访问。该实施不需要购买昂贵的硬件，智能传感器或具有嵌入式智能的设备。 HFI现有的监控和数据采集（SCADA）和网络架构保持不变。
系统集成商和客户端与HFI合作创建用于确定机器效率的OEE指标和报告。 MartinCSI促进了HFI多个部门的合作，以建立最相关的机器数据点，以收集和提供用于自定义报告的数据可视化应用程序。系统集成商还向HFI人员提供了有用的信息，使他们能够做出有意义的决策，以提高生产力，质量和盈利能力。
IIoT结果
在分析了收集的OEE指标和报告后，HFI惊讶地发现该机器的运行容量为50％。还提供了工具，以做出明智，明智的决策。 HFI能够调查原因并与工程和生产合作，以开发一条增加机器正常运行时间的途径。实时报告显示了这些变化对生产的影响。
一旦他们建立了有效机器操作的最佳实践，他们就可以在所有地点推出一个系统化的流程。开箱即用的功能和简单的安装允许根据需要部署“标准指标和关键绩效指标[关键绩效指标]，并集成多种设施视图”，其他技术未提供其他ITI部门负责人Karen Hartley，曾见过。
