工厂运营可见性和智能
概述
可视化工厂运营数据是当今许多制造商面临的挑战。一些制造商今天正在推行的 IIoT 计划之一是提供工厂运营和机器健康状况的实时可见性。目标是提高制造效率。挑战在于组合和关联在性质、来源和生命周期方面差异很大的不同数据源。工厂运营可视性和智能 (FOVI) 旨在收集工厂车间生成的传感器数据、生产设备日志、生产计划和统计数据、操作员信息,并将所有这些信息和其他相关信息集成到云中。通过这种方式,它可以用来为生产设施带来可见性,分析和预测结果,并支持更好的改进决策。

Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.
Case Study
Improving productivity and quality in Textiles
VISIBILITY - Currently unable to see amount of power consumed per machine or plant; need to account for energy used per batch. WASTE - 10% of product fails quality standards, unable to identify point of failure (initial spinning, weaving, final processing, etc). INACCURACY - Acquiring OEE measurements and compiling them is a manual process, which lacks visibility into all parts of the production process and is error-prone. LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY - Outdated machinery still has long, effective lifespans but needs to connect to newer, digital assets
