EAST Session:
EAST Session: Effective data collection is critical for optimizing production lines, yet traditional methods such as manual recording and PLC-coded data collection are fraught with inefficiencies and inaccuracies. Manual data entry often misses short downtime events and is subject to operator bias, while PLC-based systems suffer from inconsistencies, excessive costs, and revalidation challenges. The future of data collection lies in automation, modular modeling, and intelligent data processing, providing a foundation for digital transformation and sustainable manufacturing excellence. This session will explore the following concepts: · Advanced data collection goes beyond monitoring bottleneck operations, incorporating machine-level insights across all assets. · A multi-layered approach – integrating real-time signal processing, logic engines, and high-speed data acquisition – enhances fidelity, reduces integration costs, and improves root cause analysis. · Additionally, Aa Fault Learning approach dynamically identifies and ranks faults, leading to better diagnostics and predictive maintenance. · By leveraging digital twins, synchronizing multiple data streams, and enabling fast data validation, companies can significantly improve operational efficiency. · A robust data collection strategy supports MES, OEE, and AI/ML applications, ensuring accurate modeling, predictive analytics, and enterprise-wide standardization.
EAST Session: The aerospace manufacturing industry faces significant challenges, including the need for increased efficiency, flexibility, and cost reduction. Join us as we explore a real manufacturing scenario to see how vertical data integration from IT to OT can transform these challenges into opportunities. By connecting information silos throughout the manufacturing process, we enhance traceability and collaboration. Utilizing digital twin technology and smart manufacturing solutions enables virtual testing and optimization, helping validate part programs early on. Automation benefits, such as improved precision and consistency for example through advanced robotics, minimize human error and labor costs while increasing productivity. This integration fosters a data-driven manufacturing environment, driving innovation and competitiveness in aerospace manufacturing.
