Showcasing Industry 4.0 with The Boston Consulting Group
Discover the “art of the possible.” Sage Clarity is working with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to demonstrate our Industry 4.0 technology as part of The Innovation Center for Operations in Wichita State University’s Experiential Engineering building.
Through our partnership with BCG, we provide proven use cases of Industry 4.0 for manufacturing. You’ll interact with a massive touch wall, the Factory Media Center, which showcases our Interactive Production technology.
See a live demo of our IoT platform at BCG ICO at Wichita State University, including:
- See how our Next-gen Andon System pushes alerts to the Factory Media Center, shop floor HMIs, and to mobile devices, giving you instant awareness of your production line operations.
- All the manufacturing KPIs you need in one easy-to-use dashboard from our One View platform.
- Behold the power of edge computing. ABLE™ analyzes data from your production line and delivers root-cause analyses when issues arise, and can even predict potential production issues before they happen.
Our Industry 4.0 Accelerator Apps
Our technology enables businesses to harness the power of their data to streamline their operations. Create a Control Tower that will help you anticipate risks while optimizing production and supply chain. See how you’re performing in real-time at the line, plant, or organizational level. We have the tools to help you gather, monitor, and analyze your manufacturing activity. Now that all our systems are SAML 2.0 compliant, you can access your business systems easier and with more security.
Next-Gen Andon – Process Correction Accelerator
Instant Awareness of Production Interruptions
Ensure processes are being carried out efficiently and reliably. Our andon system is a truly next generation technology, essential to improving your manufacturing KPIs.
Features:
- Alerting technology using email, SMS, HMIs and plant floor terminals so no stoppage goes unnoticed.
- Predefined distribution and escalation processes alert only the people who need to know and improve accountability.
- Both automated and operator created alerts ensure your production is operation full steam ahead.
- The Andon reporting center summarizes ticket information by line, area, and status.
One View – Reporting Accelerator
For Real-time Manufacturing Analytics
Monitor efficiency of individual production lines, plants, or your entire operation. Oneview will act as your operations atomic clock, with everyone looking at the same production metrics and working towards the same goals.
- Oneview can be installed on top of existing analytics solutions, or stand-alone, to help you aggregate high-level production KPIs
- Engage your employees in supply chain improvement programs with One View’s multi-device compatibility
- Analytics that span multiple business processes and disparate systems. Easily integrate with most major BI systems—SAP, Oracle, Epicor, and Microsoft.
It really appealed to our team that they weren’t going to be inundated with a massive database. It also allows us to talk numbers and data, rather than feelings and instincts and stories.
