Efficient inventory management helps manufacturers save resources, cut costs, and avoid disruptions.
The Current State of AI in Complex DiscreteManufacturing AI clearly has staying power and will continue to gain momentum as new use cases and applications are discovered. The complex discretemanufacturing industry is already making strides in AI adoption. appeared first on iBase-t.
How to automate insights Automation continues to enable manufacturing efficiency with fewer experienced workers available, Control Engineering explains in the “How to automate” August 2023 print and digital edition. Industrial automation, including state-of-the-art motion controllers, need to effectively share data.
It seems that the balance between dependable suppliers and cost-effective materials has reached its end for discretemanufacturers. Joint planning: Collaborative forecasting tools and integrated planning modules enable the synchronisation of production schedules, optimisation of logistics, and anticipation of future challenges.
Yet, an equally pivotal facet for success lies in the realms of effective financial and business management, a reality that can significantly amplify operational efficiency and resource optimisation. Taylor elaborates, “We work with ambitious manufacturers who are being held back by various common issues.
Proactive Quality Control in Complex Manufacturing In complex discretemanufacturing, even slight defects can lead to significant issues, including rework, delays, and increased costs. Embedded Quality in MES MES is a hub for managing production activities, including resource allocation, work-in-process tracking, and scheduling.
Additional information on MES and edge computing is available in a related article, “ Learn about bridging the gap from edge to cloud MES to make automation more effective.” How can MES help industrial digital transformation and automation integration? Harrison: When Level 4 can drive motors and valves, this is an important concern.
System integrators and end users in material handling understand and learn how automation can improve operations, making it more horizontally and vertically sustainable. Standardization in automation: Siemens is pioneering standardization in automation vertically in the factory and horizontally across machinery.
AMR insights Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can play a key role in manufacturing because of their name: They’re autonomous and do not require constant human intervention the way an automated guided vehicle (AGV) would. Figure 3: AMRs are playing a much larger role to play in improving efficiency and safety in warehouse automation.
