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: We will discuss why usage reviews are essential to your company's growth. Whether you currently have an ERP solution in place or not, it is crucial to have an internal evaluation of your systems, what works well, and what new solutions need to be put into place for the future. We will answer the following questions: - Does your ERP system meet your business objectives? - What does your ERP system do well? - How can it be improved? - How can you get the most out of your ERP solution? - Do you need an ERP solution? - What are your options for an ERP solution or an internal solution? Significance/Importance: Your business is always changing and evolving - you want to ensure your ERP system meets your needs and is growing alongside you.
