Shop Floor Connectivity Challenges

The lack of real-time visibility makes it difficult to monitor Line Efficiency (LE) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Additionally, existing systems do not have a direct communication interface between the top floor and the shop floor, leading to inefficiencies in data flow and decision-making.

Challenges

In manufacturing environments, achieving seamless connectivity between the shop floor and top floor is crucial for real-time monitoring and decision-making. However, several challenges hinder this process

Solution

Machine & Device Integration – Machines and devices are connected to capture real-time production data at regular intervals from machine interfaces such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).

Reliable Communication Interface – Ethernet or serial connections ensure seamless data transmission between machines and monitoring systems.

Data Acquisition & Processing – Kepware is used to read machine data by configuring PLC tag addresses for key operational parameters, ensuring accurate and timely data collection.
