Fleet driven by IoT
IoT has a pretty straightforward role in fleet management. Sensors and devices are embedded in the vehicles. Data are then captured and analyzed which may trigger alerts and notifications. It is mostly used to track: Driver Behavior: Ad-on, third party sensors are attached to the vehicle along with traditional GPS technology to not only track […]
What is TPM?
After having a quick start on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), let us also have look at TPM. A universal approach for equipment maintenance that optimizes the production process can be termed as Total Production Maintenance (TPM). Operational efficiency of machines can maximized by preventive and proactive maintenance approach of TPM. TPM clears the hurdle between production […]
Pillars of TPM
The eights pillars or activities of Total Production Maintenance (TPM) focus on preventive and proactive measures to improve machine reliability. They are: Autonomous Maintenance Planned Maintenance Quality Maintenance Focused Improvement Early Equipment Management Training and Education Safety, Health, Environment TPM in Administration Autonomous Maintenance Operators are handed over the responsibility for routine maintenance such as inspection, […]
Benefits of Automated OEE Tracking
Performing manual OEE calculations can surely give a kick-start since only five details are required ( Planned Production Time, ideal cycle time, Stop Time, Total Count and Good count). Manually calculating OEE deepens the knowledge and understanding of OEE. Despite this, there are some really strong benefits of inclining towards the automated OEE data calculation. […]
Six Big Losses of OEE
The Six Big Losses are utmost important to know as they are nearly generic in all the applications universally for manufacturing and they are the most common causes of productivity loss. This losses are nothing but the broken parts of the OEE components -Availability Loss, Performance Loss and Quality Loss. They can provide a great […]
Smart Manufacturing
At times, it gets difficult to ascertain the long-time benefits of IIoT, yet the following three are the most trusted operational environments that would add flavor to the world of IIoT. Smart Enterprising Tight integration of manufacturing, smart and connected machines push the limits of IIoT further. This increases the capability, flexibility, efficiency and profitability […]
Introduction to Condition Monitoring
Machinery faults cannot be prevented even with the most detailed and extensive offline maintenance program routine. Before the next scheduled maintenance cycle, unattended faults leads to unexpected failure of machines which can worsen the case even more. Such breakdowns can be prevented and maintenance scheduling resources can be optimized with the help of condition monitoring. […]
Condition Monitoring & IIoT
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has a dramatic impact on the industries just as social media has on any teenager of today, probably, even more. Teenagers do get tired and need some rest. But machines are expected to run continuously and perform optimally as long as we maintain them. Over the years, maintenance has been […]
