Selected Use Cases

We offer Solutions for a Wide Variety of Challenges, e.g.:

Process Mining in Automated Production

Commissioning of automated production systems usually follows standardized, stability-oriented procedures. Hence, the resulting performance is limited and the potential to increase productivity often exceeds 10%. However, relevant factors (e. g. system parameters, environmental conditions) influencing the process are often unknown.

Your Challenge

Unknown Root Causes for Occurring Deviations and Performance Discrepancies

Selection and prioritization of appropriate optimization measures require Time and Expertise

With increasing System Complexity these Tasks become even more Challenging, even for Experts

Our Solution

Centralization of Data Streams for Monitoring of Complex Automation Systems

Generic Algorithms for Automated Training of Process Models from Discrete and Continuous Data

Interpretable Data Models as a Solid Basis for Targeted Application of Specific Analytics Services

Complexity Reduction through a Unified View of Systems and Processes for Additional Insights

Benefits & Advantages

Profound Verification of Actual System Behavior through Interpretable Process Visualization

Simplified Evaluation of various KPIs e. g. for proofs of conformity for certification

Prioritization of Optimization Potential through detection of bottlenecks and critical processes

System and Process Benchmarking

Production processes of identical or similar lines, cells or machines often run in parallel, at the same or at a different location. Alternatively, equal processes are operated using similar systems from different manufacturers.

Your Challenge

Similar Production Systems often show Different Performance but the Reason is Unknown

Lack of Transparency about Relevant KPIs for the Quantitative Assessment of System Performance

Our Solution

Data Driven Training of Process Models enables for Direct and Quantifiable Comparison

Evaluation of Statistical Key Figures and/or Data Features for Localization of Existing Deviations

Detection of relevant sub-process steps and defective technical components

Benefits & Advantages

Minimized Efforts and Time for Identification of Deviations and Detection of Causalities

Incentives for Plant Operators through Measurable Performance Indication and Competition

Increased Overall Performance through Targeted Modification of Low Performing Systems

Validation of Existing Potential proven by the more Powerful System Counterpart

Eco Assistant for Sustainable Production

Environmental protection and sustainability are becoming increasingly important for consumers. Eco-friendly manufactured goods, therefore, drive the direction of production companies.

Your Challenge

Lack of Transparency about Initial Situation, Existing Potential and Appropriate Measures

Energy and Media often Account for 40% of Operating Costs

High Costs for the Retrofitting of Existing Systems with Sensors, e.g. for Energy Measurement

Our Solution

Control Data based Efficiency Monitoring and Energy Management

Overall Picture for Prioritization of Existing Optimization Potential

Analytics Toolbox for Transferable Testing of Successful Improvement Measures

Benefits & Advantages

Enabler for Continuous Efficiency Improvement e.g. following the PDCA circle

Comfortable Solution for Certification Proofs e.g. for Energy Management (ISO 50001)

Long-term Cost Savings through Invests for Sustainable Production

Online Process Monitoring & Anomaly Detection

Maintenance is usually planned preventively or after fixed intervals. Critical process deviations not detected in time, resulting in unexpected system failures.

Your Challenge

Critical System States are not Reliably Detected by Local Monitoring of Subcomponents

Increasing Complexity Prevents Continuous Monitoring of the Overall System

Often even Slight Process Deviations Significantly Reduce System Performance

Our Solution

Structured Processing of Heterogeneous Data Streams based on IIoT Services

Process Models Implemented as Digital Process Twins for Continuous Anomaly Detection

Standardized Access to Process Data Streams via APIs for Additional Analytics Services

Benefits & Advantages

Alerts for Slightest Process Deviations to Lead Maintenance Teams to Critical Components

Traceability of Product Individuals e.g. in Context with Evaluation of Process Integrity

Online Monitoring of relevant KPIs and Individual Data or Signal Features

Web-Interfaces for Visualization and/or Direct Integration to MES/ERP
