Manufacturing Performance Solutions

Our experience has taught us that solutions aren't just about answers — they're about crafting complete answers to specific questions. From shaping a manufacturing strategy that supports global process standardization, to implementing and integrating plant-floor systems for mission-critical manufacturing operations — our consultants provide the contextual information that turn simple products and services into powerful industry solutions.

Your manufacturing environment is comprised of a unique blend of people, process and technology. Identifying and implementing the best automation and information mix for you is how we built a reputation second to none in our field. In addition to understanding the right ingredients for success, we offer proven Manufacturing Performance Solutions to solve the challenges that plague the planning, scheduling, and execution operations at the heart of a manufacturing organization.

Manufacturing Performance Solutions pairs pre-integrated software components with expert consulting and engineering services. Its unique infrastructure allows for both application scalability and extensibility — so you can deploy plant-based information systems using a phased approach. The embedded FactoryTalk® data model joins a flexible architecture with a common set of services and software modules to create seamless and consistent enterprise information flow. Apply Manufacturing Performance Solutions in a wide range of discrete, process and hybrid industries.

• Machine Performance Solutions

  The performance and throughput of each machine or piece of equipment in your facility impacts the overall plant operation and effective capacity. Discrete Machine Performance Solutions support your continuous improvement initiatives by capturing and reporting key operating data associated with each machine or piece of equipment. Building on-demand visibility into machine operations means production personnel can monitor performance, ensure it is operating within control limits, and analyze data to identify improvement opportunities to increase asset utilization.

• Line Performance Solutions

  Can you easily evaluate the overall performance of critical production assets? When you need real-time visibility - on a line, in a department, a plant, or across your enterprise - our modular Discrete Line Performance Solutions allow you to easily and continually analyze production asset performance. Whether identifying the real causes of downtime, or accurately capturing changeover measurements, our rapid and cost-effective approach helps you measure key production components and effectively use the results.

• Plant Performance Solutions

  World-class lean and agile manufacturing models depend on establishing work-in-process visibility, eliminating manual and paper-based processes, and integrating real-time information between your manufacturing plant floor and enterprise business systems. Plant Performance Solutions combines expert engineering and S-88 compliant software to help you produce a variety of products to the highest quality standards - while improving throughput and efficiency.

• Supply Performance Solutions

  Competitive supply chains thrive on visibility across manufacturing plants, and have the agility to optimize production against customer demand in real-time. Just as line efficiencies are an important cornerstone for plant managers, plant efficiencies are equally important to corporate decision makers. We help you become more responsive to customer demand through solutions that enable multi-plant enterprise environments to share cross-plant production information effectively, or implement proven RFID solutions designed to reduce excess inventory.
