Modern dashboard benefits for manufacturing plants
A modern dashboard is one such way to take raw production line data and present it in a way that it becomes useful information for various system stakeholders such as plant management, operations and maintenance.
Six steps for supporting an automation system
There’s nothing revolutionary in this six-step process; however, it is a workable model for helping to find, analyze and correct system issues.
System repairs: 6 steps to find the root cause
Automation systems will eventually need to be repaired. Following a regular procedure while troubleshooting to find the root cause can be a big help.
艾德·米勒:Leveraging after-sales service for competitive advantage
In a world where competing on product pricing alone is problematic, more companies recognize the importance of after-sales service as a means of enhancing brand value, strengthening customer relationships, and boosting revenue streams. Moreover, feedback from service activities is necessary in tracking maintenance and product configurations in the field.
艾德·米勒:Industry spotlight: Executives discovering value of PLM software
Because of the far-reaching impact of product life-cycle management (PLM) and its expanding footprint across the enterprise, the approach now is widely regarded as do-or-die in a turbulent global economy where companies leveraging these solutions will likely be among the top performers in the coming years.
艾德·米勒:Manufacturers leverage the expanding footprint of PLM
Once predominately focused on engineering design, product life-cycle management (PLM) is extending its reach to a broader range of activities, from early-stage product strategy development and planning to product engineering and manufacturing engineering, and on through to product maintenance and support.
艾德·米勒:Leverage engineering simulation across the enterprise
Manufacturers across a range of industries would be hard pressed to design products without simulation tools such as structural analysis, multi-body simulation, and computational fluid dynamics. Yet despite their importance, manufacturers typically do a poor job of managing analysis results and related work processes.
艾德·米勒:The PLM footprint steps onto the factory floor
Once predominately focused on engineering design, product life-cycle management (PLM) today encompasses a broadening range of activities—from early-stage product strategy to design, manufacturing engineering, and field service. One aspect of this evolution is tight integration with factory automation equipment, which creates a more seamless flow of information between virtual product and...
