Elevate your manufacturing with Shop Floor Integration
In the era of Industry 4.0, the integration of shop floor systems with enterprise applications is the key to unlocking the full potential of your manufacturing operations. Shop Floor Integration (SFI) seamlessly connects the physical and digital worlds, ensuring you have access to real-time data and the tools you need to optimize your processes.
Why choose SFI?
- Real-time sensor integration: SFI seamlessly connects your shop floor sensor data with your SAP ERP system, ensuring you have access to real-time information.
- Predictive plant maintenance: SFI allows for predictive plant maintenance, optimizing service work, and improving spare parts inventory management.
- Cost reduction: Lower costs through optimized spare parts inventory and synchronized plant maintenance and production planning.
- Quick and easy installation: SFI is quick and easy to install, enabling you to start benefiting from the solution without extensive setup time.
Real world applications for predictive plant maintenance with SFI
Maintenance monitoring
When predefined vibration tolerances are violated, SFI initiates the process of creating a SAP maintenance order. Subsequently, follow-up tasks are automatically generated, ensuring that wear-oriented maintenance strategies are effectively employed.
Material monitoring
In the event of a shortfall of a minimum quantity of a production material, SFI promptly triggers the generation of a SAP material withdrawal document. This action is followed by the automatic generation of follow-up tasks, simplifying the process of material replenishment.
KPI monitoring
In the case where a sensor detects a filter clog, SFI swiftly generates a work order for the procurement of a new filter. To streamline this process, follow-up tasks are created to ensure that repairs are scheduled outside of active production hours, minimizing disruptions.
Other applicable monitoring systems:
- Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems
- Control cabinet monitoring
- Filter monitoring
- Consumption monitoring
- Level monitoring
- Piece counting
- Vibration monitoring
- Valve monitoring
- Motor health
- Current consumption
