In today's fast-paced world of manufacturing, change is constant. Customer needs are continually evolving and production processes are evolving right along with them. Business is required to be running at a breakneck pace to keep up with it all. In this environment, uptime equals success, productivity rules and efficiency often marks the difference between getting by and getting ahead. When the plant is running at peak efficiency, so is the business. Raw materials come into the plant, finished product comes out and the entire process runs like a well-oiled machine. But when things break down and production lines stop, so does the productivity… and that can have farreaching implications on the bottomline. "Time is Money"
Technology Implementations to Drive Operational Excellence The ever increasing demands on today’s manufacturers to enable Lean Manufacturing, JIT (Just In Time) delivery and reduced WIP (Work In Process) inventories require an increasing level of system capabilities, coupled with more robust and effective solutions for supporting automation and information technologies. Without such solutions, the requirements manufacturers need to have in place – including error proofing to ensure the part is built correctly the first time, containing potential quality recall issues, preventing missed deliveries with associated penalties and reducing production downtime – would be very cumbersome or nearly impossible to achieve. ...
An overview of automatic collection and storage of RTU data, a technology to ensure "all the data all the time". Automatic collection and storage of treatment facility data continues to increase in importance in the water/wastewater industry. This data is critical to supporting the increasing needs of MOE/CEPA compliance reporting and is the basis for driving operational performance improvements. The advent of historian products extends the ability of a traditional system to effectively store data and efficiently make use of the data. ...
An overview of the cost savings when a Variable Frequency Drive is used to control a fan or pump. Cost Certainty and Cost Reduction are ideas that pain and plague many plants in today’s competitive marketplace. How many times have you been asked to reduce the costs your plant incurs just doing business every day? The impact of energy costs, though not necessarily the number one culprit affecting your bottom line, has often been regarded as one of “the costs of doing business”. While you can’t eliminate these costs, unless you plan on shutting the doors of your plant, if carefully managed they can be reduced.
Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is rapidly becoming one of the biggest buzzwords in today's industrial and retail marketplaces. From Wal-Mart's mandate to its suppliers, to a need for process and quality data, there are hundreds of reasons why RFID is important, but most are left wondering: What is it? How does it work? And, why should I use it? Currently, RFID comes in many different types with many different standards and the confusion concerning which product is right for which application can be frustrating. Beyond that, once a technology has been decided upon, how does one select the appropriate components for an RFID system? Before commencing an RFID application, it is important that you understand the technology and how it can be applied. A successful implementation starts with a good working knowledge of the types of equipment available, as well as the reasons why it should be used in your application.
