Successful Cases

Greatly Improve Productivity in Automotive Parts Manufacturing

MIn the automotive parts industry, the most common production lines are highly automated. In this particular case, a well-known automotive parts manufacturer did not know how to manage their automated equipment to further enhance productivity and therefore turned to Advantech iFactory for a solution. Our recommendation was that the diversity of equipment resulted in a need to address the diversity of data. Additionally, the lack of a unified standard to determine equipment capabilities also needed to be addressed. Finally, the timely notification of equipment abnormalities was identified as one of the top three issues that needed to be resolved.
