The 'Manufacturing Analytics Control' product family from iTAC aims to analyze and optimize manufacturing performance and make predictions about future process quality. It can be used in addition to the iTAC.MOM.Suite manufacturing operations management system, which is designed to plan, control and monitor production processes in real time, but is also offered as a stand-alone solution.
The Asset Analyzer, a tool from the "Manufacturing Analytics Control" product family, helps companies to identify quality problems in production and increase overall efficiency. The solution can be used across all industries, for example in the automotive, electronics and medical sectors, but also in areas such as injection molding, metal processing and battery production.
Everything in sight – automatic error detection through AI
The Asset Analyzer is a tool or dashboard that enables performance analysis of the entire production environment. "This gives companies a clear insight into current and past performance, which is particularly beneficial for critical machines and processes. Operators can react quickly and efficiently to deviations and gain a comprehensive understanding thanks to the holistic view. It is no longer necessary to call up several systems, as the information can be found centrally in a dashboard. This saves time when searching for deviations and increases transparency at the same time", says Martin Strempel, Business Development Manager Data Analytics at iTAC Software AG.
One particular advantage is the proactive solution to quality problems. Quality parameters can be managed in real time and an AI engine automatically detects errors, for example in electrocoating. Real-time notifications via MS Teams provide information in the case of alarms, events and abnormal behavior, resulting in fewer errors in the production process.
The solution supports the intuitive retrieval of machine or process data in the dashboard. Access to your own data is made considerably easier, as information from various machines and process steps in the production environment can be retrieved quickly and easily.
Applicable without technical knowledge
A key advantage of the Asset Analyzer is its user-friendliness. It is designed for process operators, engineers and management – not just IT or AI specialists. No special skills or knowledge are required to perform in-depth analysis. Dashboards can be configured within minutes. The solution is globally scalable.
"Many other tools are complicated to use, require special expertise and are often not designed to analyze the entire production environment. In addition, they often have manufacturer or hardware dependencies. Our aim is to provide tools that are not only powerful, but also quick to implement and, above all, easy to use. With the Asset Analyzer, we are paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of performance and thus for higher productivity and quality," says Martin Strempel.
