* WIP inventory control and management
Dasgupta said a recent client had an
old system with unused data. " The
challenge was a lot of manual data
entry on a 20-year-old system. They have
SAP, they don't have JD Edwards (both
enterprise resource planning systems).
And when you ask for a simple question,
it's like a mess to find out how to solve it "
from the data.
He added that with the factory
implementation, they implemented a
data lake (a system or repository of
data stored in its natural/raw format,
usually object blobs or files). " We have an
integration component that reads data,
all raw data from different systems, even
ERP, be it historian, be it an existing
and increasing
EMS system versus our entire system and
put it into the data lake. And then our
processing engine processes that data,
contextualize it, make sure everything
is correct and put it in the actionable
data site so that makes it actionable. "
Case in point
Another example is Angel Bakeries.
The bakery has four industrial bakeries
around Israel, 20 local bakeries, 150
distribution lines and an approved
supplier for world-leading fast-food chains
and producer of frozen goods in its U.S.
plant for distribution across the country.
Like fresh-cut produce, fresh bakery
and bread products can't be stored for
long. To prevent superfluous production,
Angel Bakeries wanted a solution to
accurately calculate production quantities
and obtain inventory reports in real
time. The bakery also wanted better
control of work performed on their
production lines.Enter FactoryEye's data
management platform. It was selected
because it provides an advanced, easy-touse
machine connection, data visibility
and a smart IoT solution for production.
Empowering Angel Bakeries to
computerize the process of control and
reporting in production, it uses RFID
stickers that are automatically scanned
and used to update data in the computer
systems. This has significantly reduced the
time spent on manual reporting, as well
as solving the problem of inaccuracies.
At two production sites, automatic gates
that are opened by reading the stickers
have been installed, thus reducing human
involvement in reporting to a minimum.
In addition to transparency regarding
inventory at any point in time and the
smooth flow of information, FactoryEye
also offers customers better monitoring of
deliveries in the supply chain, as well as
making it easier to investigate incidents
and improve forward planning.
