The Challenge
The company needed to implement a phased priority scheme to manage EHS&S elements and set up a system that would provide company-wide visibility to global sites. They wanted to leverage data mining capabilities to easily identify risks across sites and drive corrective actions. The company also needed a system that could be configured to manage and oversee specific EHS&S performance and program progress to track site awareness and implementation of EHS&S tools, provide roll-ups of data and average scores across business sites to create reports to derive opportunities for program improvement, and digitize processes used to track company-wide performance and program elements.
About The Customer
The customer is a publicly held, global industrial company. They are headquartered in Europe and have over 250 locations worldwide. The company employs over 50,000 people and is a top performer in their markets. They launched an initiative to systematically implement EHS and Sustainability program elements to standardize key processes at all of their global sites. The company wanted to execute the initiative via a digital solution that would enable sites to adopt applicable program elements in a prioritized sequence with the concurrence of business program leaders, while providing continuous visibility to corporate management.
The Solution
The company worked with Benchmark Gensuite to utilize a digital application, the Benchmark Gensuite Framework Scorecard, to facilitate the rollout and adoption of management system program elements across all of their sites, leveraging their previously established Benchmark Gensuite platform for EHS compliance and sustainability metrics tracking. The solution enables site-level assignment and tracking of individual program elements and process implementation expectations. It standardizes implementation through targeted implementation guidance notes and best practice sharing. The solution also provides visibility to site, business and corporate management on milestones accomplished by program element and analytical tools to identify key program gaps/needs.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
