  • Line 03 · Assembly
  • Since Tuesday

Why has rework on line 03 been rising since Tuesday?

Finding

The additional rework comes from station 4 (screwing). Since Tuesday's late shift, the tightening torque there has exceeded the limit in every shift.

Example Applications

What costs your team time or production performance today?

The use of machine data to improve production often fails due to the complexity of integration, siloed software solutions, and a disconnect between IT and production.

Result from a customer project

Over 80 percent fewer parts requiring rework

In an automotive gear drive assembly customer project, the number of parts requiring rework was reduced by more than 80 percent.

What the analysis found
  • Gearbox assembly
  • Leak test per workpiece carrier
Finding

For two of eight workpiece carriers, the leak test failed far more often. The carriers did not seat exactly at the test station; the parts themselves were fine. The line KPIs did not show it.

Result: Fixtures of both carriers repaired.

Here's how we get started

From workshop to pilot in a few days to weeks.

A pilot project gives you a quick first impression: We connect the first machines, implement a suitable use case, and work with you to evaluate the benefits achieved.

Discuss a pilot
  1. 01
    WorkshopFirst data sources

    Start directly with your machine data

    You'll see the first data right away during the on-site workshop. Together, we'll select a system and a suitable use case.

  2. 02
    SetupImplementation

    Put a production line’s data to work

    We work closely with you to configure the software to meet your needs, prepare the data, and implement an appropriate analysis. Depending on the task and scope, we use dashboards, AI analyses, or our Manufacturing Insights modules.

  3. 03
    Pilot operationAssess value

    Experience and Evaluate Added Value

    From now on, you’ll have a real-time view of production. After a training period and a few weeks of operation, we’ll review the agreed-upon goals and plan the next steps. After that, the rollout can proceed to additional machines, locations, or worldwide.
