To overcome limitations of conventional production optimization, the client’s digitalization initiative needs to demonstrably add value in factory environment:

• Increase transparency of asset condition, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, material flow and energy consumption
• Improve insights, optimize production, reduce downtime, save energy
• Enable data-driven optimization and decision making

Development of four core applications and Azure-based IoT platform, data-driven rollout to initially four plants with comprehensive change management, scaling to further plants:

• Use case scoping through data analytics to determine beneficial solution functionalities
• Apps development for condition-based asset maintenance, OEE line performance visibility, real-time material consumption, and energy visualization system
• Integrated change management as essential part of development and implementation, maximizing value at shop floor level
