AI-based optimization of production – d.OEEbooster

The AI software d.OEEbooster supports preventive optimization of production based on continuous monitoring and automated detection of the causes of failures using high-resolution machine data.

Challenge:

After being adjusted by an experienced technician, all the machines in a production line run optimally. The challenge is to maintain this condition over the long term.

In order to optimize production in the long term, it is vital to identify indicators of potential problems so that preventive measures can be implemented before difficulties arise.

The technician needs a full understanding of the causes of the problems and clear recommendations to ensure a successful outcome.

The success of each action taken must be precisely documented. The machine learning system accelerates and optimizes the process of finding solutions to future problems.

Solution:

d.OEEbooster is a cloud-based digital web application for shop floor optimization. It uses big data to turn findings into preventive actions and AI-driven recommendations by constantly monitoring machine behavior and visualizing it on dashboards. Insights gained from this high-resolution machine data enable the AI to propose clear recommendations that keep machines in optimum condition over a long period of time. The software ensures constant or even increased production performance by reducing downtime, increasing the availability and performance of plants and single assets.

d.OEEbooster is available in three modular product packages:

1. Monitoring of production parameters and KPIs
2. Analysis and identification of their root causes
3. Proposal of recommendations to maintain the machine in a stable condition

Plans

Transparency Package
