Unleash the power of Industry 4.0 and succeed in iFactory-enabled organizational transformation
In labor-intensive discrete manufacturing industries, the digital support of workers has become a key value driver. Through digital transformation, the labor-force can be quickly trained and work can be broken down into small steps. Consumers expect faster product innovation; therefore shortening the product life cycle is important. However, a younger workforce is generally less willing to engage in repetitive manufacturing tasks, making the learning curve of production more complicated. The traceability and flexibility of actual production makes the production control of the entire supply chain clearer, which helps businesses face the future challenges of manufacturing.
Accelerate Industry 5.0 Transformation
Advantech iFactory enhances production efficiency and prioritizes Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) to safeguard employees, the public, and the environment. To maximize manufacturing efficiency, iFactory leverages the power of AI analytics and Azure OpenAI services for real-time business intelligence and enhanced productivity. Seamlessly integrating these elements, iFactory propels manufacturers forward in their industrial digital transformation.
Recommended Apps
Andon
Andon is a visual control used to indicate the status of a machine, production line or workflow. With real-time tracking and dispatching of jobs from mobile devices or touch screens, technicians or supervisors can receive details of alerts, and track status, which can reduce average response times and improve communication efficiency. The Andon failure analysis dashboard helps generate insights, so you can proactively make improvements to prevent future problems.
Shop Floor
Shop Floor control is a set of I.App applications used to track, schedule, and report the work progress of a manufacturing plant. Tracking the percentage of work in progress, and milestones provides supervisors with better judgments on production efficiency, workshop resource planning, and inventory assessment, which can also improve efficiency, sustainability, and identify production problems.
iMobile Services
The key to staying competitive is the convergence of the IoT and mobile technologies. By combining data generation, mobile devices and IoT will increase the visibility of manufacturing in real-time to receive immediate problem notifications that reduce losses and increase output.
- Coming Soon
Data Fabric
Integration of OT, IOT, IT data with PLM and MES will allow the realization of a system that synchronizes product design and production with strict control. MES includes steps required for operators to evaluate product quality, as well as production orders etc. Through data connector, AI judgments can be more targeted to enable data-driven capability.
