Standardize Your HMI Across Your Plant
With hundreds of local HMI panel accross a plant, localized at each production cell, discrete manufacturing has a hard time to efficiently standardize HMI accross an entire facility, leading to islands of automation. AVEVA Industrial Software enables discrete manufacturing facilities to standardize Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) across the entire plant. This standardization ensures a consistent user experience, simplifies training, and reduces errors by providing operators with uniform control and monitoring interfaces. By deploying a standardized HMI, manufacturers can streamline operations, improve operator efficiency, and facilitate easier system upgrades and maintenance. AVEVA’s solutions ensure that all HMIs are aligned with best practices, leading to improved operational consistency and faster issue resolution across the plant.
Centralize all your Process Data into a Local Historian Database
AVEVA’s Industrial Software supports the centralization of all process data into a local Historian database, enabling discrete manufacturers to store and analyze historical data efficiently. This centralized data repository allows for quick access to key production metrics, improving decision-making and enabling long-term trend analysis. By centralizing data, manufacturers can ensure data integrity, enhance traceability, and optimize production processes based on historical insights. AVEVA’s Historian solutions facilitate data-driven strategies that lead to improved operational performance and compliance with industry standards.
Digitize Processes with Low-Code, No-Code Workflow Management
AVEVA empowers discrete manufacturing facilities to digitize their processes using low-code, no-code Workflow Management solutions. This approach allows for the rapid development and deployment of digital workflows without requiring extensive programming knowledge. By digitizing manual processes, manufacturers can reduce errors, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with operational standards. AVEVA’s Workflow Management tools also support continuous improvement initiatives by enabling quick adjustments and real-time monitoring. This digital transformation enhances process agility, streamlines operations, and drives greater productivity across the manufacturing plant.
Identify Bottlenecks with Real-Time OEE & Downtime Tracking
AVEVA’s real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and downtime tracking solutions help discrete manufacturers identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in their production processes. By providing instant visibility into equipment performance, AVEVA enables operators to quickly detect and address issues that cause production delays. This proactive approach helps manufacturers optimize machine utilization, reduce downtime, and improve overall production efficiency. With AVEVA’s OEE and downtime tracking, manufacturers can drive continuous improvement efforts, enhance throughput, and maintain high levels of operational excellence.
Implement Visual Management with Shopfloor Dashboarding
AVEVA’s Shopfloor Dashboarding solutions enable discrete manufacturers to implement visual management practices, providing operators with real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs) directly on the shop floor. These dashboards display critical data in an intuitive, easily digestible format, allowing teams to monitor production status, identify issues, and make informed decisions quickly. By fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, AVEVA’s visual management tools help improve operational efficiency, enhance communication across teams, and drive continuous improvement in manufacturing processes.
Optimize production with a modern MES platform
Optimize Production Planning & Scheduling
AVEVA’s advanced Production Planning & Scheduling tools empower discrete manufacturers to optimize their production processes by aligning resources, materials, and workforce with demand forecasts. The software integrates real-time data from across the plant to create accurate production schedules that minimize downtime and maximize throughput. By optimizing planning and scheduling, manufacturers can reduce lead times, improve on-time delivery, and better respond to changes in market demand. AVEVA’s solution enhances production efficiency, reduces waste, and ensures that manufacturing operations are running at peak performance.
Align Business and operational strategy with ERP integration to MES
AVEVA Industrial Software aligns business and operational strategies by seamlessly integrating ERP systems with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) platforms in discrete manufacturing. This integration ensures real-time data flow between business management and production operations, providing a unified view of resources, orders, and inventory. AVEVA's ERP integration module leverages S95 standards to simplify and standardize data exchanges between shopfloor and business applications. By synchronizing ERP with MES, manufacturers can optimize production schedules, enhance inventory management, and improve traceability. This alignment enables more accurate decision-making, faster response to market changes, and improved operational efficiency, ensuring that business goals are consistently met through optimized manufacturing processes.
Extract the Full Potential of Your Industrial Data in Context
Digitize Work Instructions, Improve Departments' Collaboration
AVEVA enables discrete manufacturers to digitize their work instructions, improving accuracy and accessibility for operators and enhancing cross-department collaboration. Digital work instructions can be easily updated and distributed across the plant, ensuring that all teams have the latest information at their fingertips. This digitization reduces errors, standardizes processes, and enables more efficient training for new employees. AVEVA’s solution also facilitates better communication and coordination between departments, leading to smoother workflows, faster problem resolution, and improved overall operational efficiency.
Identify Energy Waste to Reduce Operational Cost
AVEVA Industrial Software helps discrete manufacturers identify energy waste by providing real-time monitoring and analysis of energy consumption across all processes. By pinpointing areas of inefficiency, manufacturers can implement targeted energy-saving measures that reduce operational costs and minimize environmental impact. AVEVA’s solutions offer detailed insights into energy use, enabling operators to optimize equipment settings, reduce idle times, and improve energy efficiency. This proactive approach not only lowers costs but also supports sustainability goals, helping manufacturers achieve both economic and environmental benefits.
Drive Your Sustainability Strategy at Scale
AVEVA empowers discrete manufacturers to drive their sustainability strategies at scale by providing comprehensive tools for monitoring and optimizing resource use, reducing waste, and minimizing environmental impact. The software offers real-time insights into energy consumption, emissions, and material usage, enabling manufacturers to set and achieve sustainability targets. By integrating sustainability metrics into daily operations, AVEVA helps companies align their production processes with environmental goals, ensuring compliance with regulations and enhancing corporate social responsibility. This scalable approach supports long-term sustainability while maintaining operational efficiency and profitability.
