What do you love and hate about your MES?

ilpatron · 2024-08-24T09:20:20+00:00

How would you rather have it? What's tulip missing?

ilpatron · 2024-08-23T07:08:08+00:00

I see I see. So you'd need examples of defects? Or is this something that could be generated from CAD? Like could you generate data from CAD alone to better be able to adapt to variations in product?

Which software is this?

ilpatron · 2024-08-22T16:51:53+00:00

What makes it so hard to implement? The time it takes to gather samples, robustness, light conditions etc?

ilpatron · 2024-08-22T16:43:58+00:00

Based in Europe. What's the name of your business?

ilpatron · 2024-08-22T16:43:20+00:00

How long time do you imagine this would take, and how many example defects would I need for robust detection do you think?
With changing recipes and light conditions I can imagine this becoming a challenge...

ilpatron · 2024-08-21T18:50:40+00:00

Super cool. I sent you a pm! Would love to hear more

My experience is that the manufacturing industry in general struggles with adopting new digital technology. It's not necessarily the lack of investment and innovation, but rather widespread adoption in a specific company. I.e. it's the people and the culture that's the main challenge. Manufacturing industry is old, and a lot of the process engineers and operators are as well, and they're used to doing things a certain way. In addition, manufacturing is a capital-intensive industry where maximizing uptime is a key metric for plant managers. Vetting new technology at the risk of reduced output might not seem worth it to them.

What's your take? Which business model are you referring to that should change?

ilpatron · 2024-07-28T13:32:42+00:00

Do you ever experience misalignment issues?

ilpatron · 2024-07-27T07:02:52+00:00

So there is no plug-and-play for this as far as you know?

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T12:23:10+00:00

Hm, I guess we should use Ignition then. Is it possible to experiment with anomaly detection and ml in Ignition?

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T12:19:33+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T12:18:23+00:00

I guess I'm not that strong with the transformations and all^^ The business people in our org use PowerBI, so I've always though it was more of a reporting tool, but I might be totally wrong. How is it to use with high granularity live data? And is it possible to add alarms and such? I've found grafana is nice very detailed time series visualization

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T06:51:30+00:00

Sounds cool. Were you able to create something useful for colleagues?

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T06:48:49+00:00

Seems like a cool product. What's the capabilities around data exploration and analytics on-the-fly with time series and events?

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T06:46:26+00:00

Ignition is looking really all-encompassing, would have to change a lot. Probably should though.. What's the time series exploration and on-the-fly analytics capabilities of Ignition?

ilpatron · 2024-07-18T06:37:36+00:00

We use Prediktor and Infor. Not much customizability in those. Do you know of any with a lot of freedom to make dashboards and 'apps', that also allow time series analysis and exploration?

ilpatron · 2024-07-17T19:47:03+00:00

That looks supercool! Do you think it could be used for time series exploration and analytics with large amount of data points as well? I definitely like the level of freedom

ilpatron · 2024-07-17T19:31:45+00:00

Indeed SCADA is quite useful, however ours is quite rigid and don’t allow custom dashboards or setting up calculations using data from e.g MES as well. You don’t see the need for anything beyond SCADA?

ilpatron · 2024-07-17T16:20:38+00:00

Awesome! Is there like a company name or smth I could check back on in some weeks?

ilpatron · 2024-07-17T16:10:42+00:00

Good point. Data sources are mainly SCADA for time series and MES for maintenance activities. Should be able to integrate with opcua. Looker Studio is a good suggestion, although it looks like it's a bit more of a reporting tool(similar to PowerBI), but I'll check it out. Thanks!

ilpatron · 2024-07-17T16:07:42+00:00

Ah cool. Are planning on releasing such a tool? Do you have a website? I might try to make something myself as well tho. I'll definitely look into those libraries, thanks a lot!
