IN103CA - Automating Line Tasks to Free Up Man Power

The digitalization of manufacturing assets, production lines and plants provides us with more accurate numbers, real time data, and the opportunity to review and compare production data. The transformation to a digital manufacturing center also provides us with the chance to get rid of error prone activities and free up valuable resources from production line tasks. In this case study we will show how a PTC customer, together with the PTC customer success organization, introduced similar automation to their production line. By introducing an Industry 4.0 automated process, where the different components work together in a work-flow-like environment, they were able to get rid of an error-prone product labeling and protocol printing process. Both the customer and the services team will talk about their different challenges, starting with the use case identification, then through the environment of the different suppliers until the first product label was successfully printed.
