Description
Industrial Talk is onsite at the OMG Quarterly Standards Meeting and chatting with Aravind Kumar, Digital Automation Consultant with Belden about "Digital Automation - Digital Insights for Improved Tactical and Strategic Decisions". The following are some key digital automation takeaways for our conversation:
Focus on shop floor connectivity as a foundational layer. This means connecting to all of your machines, regardless of their age or make, and bringing the data together in a central location. This will give you a foundation for future digital transformation initiatives.
Start with simple use cases. Don't try to do too much at once. Start by automating simple tasks, such as sending alerts when a machine goes down. This will help you to see the value of shop floor connectivity and build momentum for further investment.
Get buy-in from all stakeholders. Shop floor connectivity is a team effort. Make sure that you have the support of your operators, maintenance team, and management team before you start.
Use the right tools. There are a number of different tools available for shopfloor connectivity. Choose a tool that is easy to use and that can scale to your needs.
Be patient. It takes time to implement shop floor connectivity. Don't expect to see results overnight. Be patient and persistent, and you will eventually reap the benefits.
Here are some additional thoughts from the conversation:
The human factor is important. Shop floor connectivity is not just about technology. It's also about people. Make sure that you involve your operators and maintenance team in the planning and implementation process. This will help to ensure that the solution is successful.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for shop floor connectivity. Experiment with different approaches and find what works best for your business.
The future of manufacturing is digital. Shop floor connectivity is essential for any manufacturer that wants to stay ahead of the competition. By investing in shop floor connectivity, you can improve efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
