Digital Manufacturing

Having implemented a suitable inline coding technology manufacturers can capture, or 'track and trace', products as they pass along the production process. With the integration of intelligent cameras at all critical stages of the production process V-viz provide MES and SCADA based traceability solutions to capture and have visibility on many factors contributing to the dynamics of the process flow. Not only will you know if a product has gone through a particular station, but you can identify and control the route (route enforcement) that a given product takes, you can capture the sub assemblies and their lot code data that were utilised in the manufacture of a given product (genealogy) but you can, real time, see the throughput, yield, bottlenecks and maintenance requirements. In addition you can hang stock re-ordering off it, you can drill down information to operator, machine and supplier level, you can monitor machine strike rates, rework, scrap levels and preventative schedules...you can have complete visibility of your production process.

The age of digital manufacturing is upon us and those businesses that embrace its opportunities will develop into strong successful manufacturers that can compete on the global stage… those that don't will not know what they are producing and will not be able to assess their efficiencies, deficiencies, bottlenecks or capacity gaps.
