FAQs

How does SCADA screen design impact plant productivity?
Clunky, inefficient, and confusing SCADA screens can frustrate operators, impairing their decision-making speed and accuracy. Seconds spent looking for a button or valve on a crowded screen can quickly add up to hours of lost productivity. Download our white paper on SCADA design to explore seven user-centric design principles that can prevent these problems.
What are the most essential MES tools for plant productivity?

We recommend implementing the following MES tools:

  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
  • Downtime Tracking
  • Data Entry Automation
  • Track and Trace
  • Asset Management
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Production Scheduling
  • Recipe Management
  • Statistical Process Control

For a deep dive into each of these tools and how they can improve performance, download our white paper, 9 MES Tools Every Plant Manager Needs.

How can I reduce risks during a control system migration?

To reduce risk, be sure to decide on your approach (hardware-only or hardware and software), prioritize the upgrades that are most important, and create a comprehensive upgrade plan that includes risk identification and mitigation strategies.

For a deeper dive into risk mitigation, download our white paper, 5 Risk Mitigation Techniques for Control System Upgrades.

How can I ensure a successful MES implementation?

First, you’ll need to prepare for change and get buy-in for the project. You’ll also need to create a process map and detail all the data you are hoping to get out of your MES system, and schedule workshops throughout the implementation process to assess your progress. Check out this blog post for more helpful strategies. 

What should I consider when selecting an OEE solution?

The most important initial consideration is whether you need a custom OEE software solution or a point solution. Custom OEE software solutions are developed using a generalized software platform, while point solutions are specific to a single application. Check out this blog post to learn more.

What does it mean to digitize my factory?

From better reliability to easier scalability and integration, there are numerous reasons to incorporate cloud technology into your plant floor operations. Download our white paper to explore common benefits and concerns, as well as real-world use cases connecting to the cloud.

What are the first steps to becoming a fully digital factory?

First, you’ll need to prepare your employees for change and establish a project management plan. Then, once you’ve selected your MES software, you can start making the transition to digital one process at a time. For a deeper dive into each step, download our digital factory white paper.

How can I maximize the potential of my plant’s data?

Unified Namespaces (UNS) and Unified Analytics Frameworks (UAF) can help establish seamless data communication between disparate systems and unlock the true potential of your data. Download our UNS/UAF white paper to learn more.
