Episode 1
Podcast discusses the importance and practice of real-time production monitoring in the context of dynamic manufacturing environments. It defines this as the continuous collection, transmission, and analysis of operational data from machines, production lines, and processes. This provides an up-to-date view of the factory floor without delays or manual reporting.
Without real-time monitoring, companies face several problems, including:
- Lack of current information, leading to reactive management instead of proactive.
- Unregistered micro-stoppages and unplanned machine downtimes, which accumulate and reduce efficiency.
- Difficulty quickly identifying bottlenecks and causes of operational losses.
- Planning errors based on incomplete or outdated data.
