The Internet of Things is now part of life in all walks of life, from the home to businesses. As IoT connects everything and everyone, it will make the world better and smarter than it has ever been. In a world of intelligent, connected devices, IoT solutions help organizations analyze data generated by physical sensors. Your business can be transformed by this data, revealing hidden patterns and insights that can help you make better decisions and take action sooner.
By delivering innovative IoT powered solutions, Eastern Software Systems (ESS) helps organizations transform their business needs into competitive differentiators. Our comprehensive IoT services include integrating sensors and deriving insights, as well as selecting the best-fit platform.
Manufacturing starts on the shop floor. It’s where material moves, the product is created, and ultimately, where the work gets done. IoT solutions help manufacturers to bridge the gap between the shop floor and workers by digitizing end-to-end operations of the shop floor. The solution gives a digital ‘Shop Floor To Do list’ that makes it easy for workers to understand what has to be done. It also gives an easy communication platform to workers to access any material information they need. In the IoT smart manufacturing plants, multiple visual shop floor screens enhance the visibility into the manufacturing processes and provide real-time information to track performance or check the status of machines. Besides this, IoT solutions ensure that manufactured products are matching the benchmarked quality standards with its exception handling benefit.
Quality control is fundamental in every industry, but in manufacturing, it’s hyper-critical as the rising number of defection rate can be a huge financial cost to manufacturers. An effective Quality Management System relies on the ability to constantly monitor and control a host of machine and process parameters that impact product quality. IoT applications ensure error-free planned production with online check sheets and real-time monitoring. It provides needed resources to the management team to make better decisions for the business.
IoT solutions are implemented with an aim to provide a centralized ‘Intelligent Manufacturing System’ that facilitates machine control and monitoring remotely. As a result, it eliminates the unnecessary physical presence of workers or supervisors on the shop floor. The provided IoT application can be easily accessed by any device be it mobile, laptop, or desktop. The prominent application of IoT ‘predictive maintenance’ has the capability to assess the condition of the machines frequently and alert the maintenance team for the maintenance schedule in advance.
No matter the size of a manufacturing business, the ‘Manufacturing Execution System (MES)’ is essential to drive optimal performance in today’s competitive and rapidly changing manufacturing environment. It can be easily achieved by IoT solutions and make the manufacturing process data-driven. The system can monitor, track, document, and control the entire process of manufacturing goods from raw materials to finished products. Integrated with ERP and process control systems, MES gives decision-makers the critical data they need to make the shop floor more efficient and optimized.
IoT solutions help organizations to manufacture products and bring them to market faster by managing product lifecycle. The centralized product documentation with real-time updates and changes makes the process of document approval at different stages easier and faster. The solution help manufacturers integrate their data from various enterprise data sources such as ERP and track the product throughout its value chain from inception, planning, design, and manufacturing, to sales and service.
