The drive to improve productivity and efficiency in manufacturing plants is a major step in improving a company’s bottom line but can be difficult to achieve without significant disruption and expense, especially when production data is needed from a range of disparate machines.
In a recent case study, an oil lubricant manufacturer was able to implement a new supervision system for its production line, which included a number of different, proprietary machines, each controlled by its own PLC. They achieved cost-effective data collection, aggregation and analysis that led to easy detection of problems causing production losses and downtime using the Emerson Movicon.NExT platform.
