II1514P - Unleashing the Hidden Factory through Digital Performance Management

Today’s economic pressures are leading many manufacturers to look to their factories for improvements in top and bottom-line enterprise performance. And inside the four walls of the factory, the efficient use of production capacity is often the single largest contributor toward the attainment of financial goals. So, how best to achieve meaningful, sustainable performance improvements? For many, the answer is in a new use of factory data from automation, extending beyond the typical Manufacturing Execution System. Hear experiences and results from leading manufacturers who have implemented a new operating system for closed-loop, continuous improvement in manufacturing. Hear how Digital Performance Management (DPM) has unleashed their hidden factories.

II1547B - Find Your Hidden Factory: A New Operating System for Continuous Improvement

“Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Coleridge’s famous phrase is often applied to factory data (water) and the difficulty of obtaining insight from it (to drink). Today, new tools and analytics to derive actionable insights from the seas of factory data are becoming more available and powerful. Using these tools to find and unleash hidden capacity - in effect, new factories - is emerging as a top priority for many manufacturers. In this session, Kalypso's Director of Production Performance Management, Jeff Miller will explain the practical, pragmatic roadmap he and his Rockwell Automation/ Kalypso team have developed with their manufacturing clients to help them achieve remarkable production efficiency gains through the use of PTC’s Digital Performance Management Solution.

II1551C - Throughput is Everything: How DPM Removes Bottlenecks and Increases Revenue

Production throughput is a key performance and financial metric for Thermo Fisher Scientific in its capital-intensive, bio-pharma manufacturing operations. With Plant Productivity Improvement (PPI) organizations already well-established and highly effective, what more could Thermo do to achieve even higher rates of production in its aseptic fill lines? The answer was in using data from production operations in new ways to identify, prioritize, and select the highest value opportunities for the addition of production capacity to the factory schedule. Then, focus PPI resources on delivering new capacity through closed-loop, rapid improvement projects. Thermo Fisher has been an early and highly successful adopter of PTC's Digital Performance Management (DPM) solution. Attend this session to hear the results.
