We can improve throughput and eliminate the X-ray as a bottleneck by assessing which parts are at risk to fail and apply testing resources appropriately. Where testing is a bottleneck, this also increases overall throughput of the production line. At a simple level, AI can identify bottlenecks in component fulfillment.

All parts require an appropriate six-digit source, maintenance and recoverability (SMR) code and exist in a digital repository for information sharing and tracking. The DoD has high interest to make more 3D printed parts, primarily due to the supply chain issues that have become a major bottleneck,” Bredael said.

Dashboards used to be static, one-size-fits-all solutions that you could only view via a computer. You can see what's functioning and what isn't and where the bottlenecks are. They can connect data from various sources (including ERP, MES, automation systems, and even Excel files) into a cloud repository.

Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer sustainable. Bottlenecks, however, have slowed down progress. I believe that effective automation combines the right architecture and open-source tooling with network data and customer insight. With 5G, image processing and analytics technology can help achieve this.

Part production is often hampered by a single operation — often a single critical feature that, for whatever reason, creates a bottleneck that dramatically alters the profitability of a job. Secondly, the drills had to handle the cutting conditions needed to reliably produce holes fast enough to eliminate the production bottleneck.
