Improving shop floor productivity

Shopfloor productivity workshop

On the 16th of May, we are conducting a workshop on indoor positioning systems for shop floor optimization. We will be discussing use cases in manufacturing, supply chain logistics & healthcare industries.

Venue – Level 6, Vanguard Campus, 1 Kallang Junction, Singapore

Time – 4 pm to 5 pm

Target audience – Senior and mid level managers, consultants

Wirepas is the world leader in indoor positioning. Wirepas was named the recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2017 Product Leadership Award in the European Internet of Things market. In its decision to choose Wirepas for the award, Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Partnership Company, highlights the strength and fit-for-purpose of Wirepas Connectivity as a product for Massive IoT, versatility regarding different applications, and the business need-driven approach of the company.

Ripples IOT is among the poineers in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) space, with own hardware devices, embedded software, data visualisation tools in manufacturing, healthcare and supply chain logistics. Delivered over 50 projects over the last 5 years to customers in 17 countries. A live demonstration of the solutions will be available at the productivity workshop.

Ripples provides the necessary Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, gateway devices, data visulisation tools, application software, installation, training and support for the indoor positioning system with an incredible value proposition of 5 year battery life – 5 metre accuracy and 10 minute reporting intervals – Perhaps the lowest cost for any indoor tracking systems in the world with size and massive scale.

Wirepas Mesh scales to any number of devices – two or two million nodes, whilst optimizing itself for best performance. Industries can have thousands of devices in one shop floor without interference due to automatic and efficient use of radio resources. On the other hand, the distance between the two devices can be several kilometers. The total geographical coverage of the network is limitless because every single device is an autonomous part of the network and can operate as a router.

Structural monitoring sensors

Vibration in buildings, tunnels

Our environmental monitoring solutions now have an added function of structural monitoring – earth quakes, building cracks, abnormal vibration etc. This is to the existing detectors such as Indoor Air Quality, CO2 levels, Ambient light, Volatile Organic compounds etc.

The IP 65 modules are integrated on a mesh network to ensure longer range within buildings, and failsafe data transmission on to the gateway devices for data visualisation and data analytics.

The data can also be pushed on to a MODBUS or BMS systems for shutting odd and stopping hazardous equipment

With their high detection accuracy, our structural monitoring sensor modules help with measures to prevent secondary damage after earthquakes in a variety of settings.

As an index, the SI value has a higher correlation with the seismic intensity scale of Japan than the maximum acceleration does. This makes it possible to make judgments that accurately reflect structural damage.

Preventing Secondary Damage through structural monitoring

Semiconductor manufacturing
Petro chemical plants
Heritage buildings, bridges and tunnels
Distribution panels in buildings
Hospitals and elderly care centres
Electricity panels in housing complexes
Distribution systems in factories
Newly constructed buildings

Mapping the seismic intensity and building collapse information, the integrated vibration Sensor communications enable the collection of earthquake information to map damage conditions by area. Creating suitable restrictions for traffic within buildings.

The all in a box earthquake monitoring solution comes with appropriate sensor modules, power cables, gateway device, data visualisation tools, plugins for Modbus and BMS integration and API for cloud enablement.

Shop floor monitoring & Workflow Management

Low cost of ownership, completely wireless & easy to deploy

A hard to beat value proposition for indoor positioning in manufacturing, supply chain logistics & construction indistries.

Locate an object with 5 metre accuracy
Transmission frequency of 10 minutes
Battery life of 10 years
No wiring for tags or Anchors
IP 67 and RoHS compliant
Monitor and control industrial workflows in real time.

Search and locate industrial assets on the production floor instantly. Tracking the progress of production workflows by monitoring the position of inventory and finished goods, and members of the workforce based on their individual roles and responsibilities. This will result is a significant increase in labor coordination, efficiency, and productivity.

Improve the productivity and efficiency in manufacturing

Optimize the use of industrial assets. Predictive and remote maintenance of assets. Monitor the deviations of the expected processes and perform root cause analysis where needed.

Improve the safety and security of your workforce

Monitor in real time the position of the members of the workforce (and contractors) in the presence of risk situations. Improve emergency evacuation. Reduce associated costs and liabilities. Location-based workflow management to monitor the actual work performed. Automated audit and control. Reduce overall management costs and associated costs.

Monitoring / Tracking (People & Equipment)

The solution we propose is an advanced massive IOT/ Big Data solution for Smart Factory in shop floor monitoring. This solution uses Industrial grade IOT technologies to monitor in real time and with high precision (3 to 5 meter range) the position of the workforce and industrial assets in the relevant factory environment. The wireless sensor data is processed in the cloud / on-premise server to extract valuable knowledge about the execution of industrial processes and to optimize the efficiency of manufacturing in hi-tech industries.

Some applications of shop floor monitoring IOT

Tracking the movement of contractors in factories
Monitoring the different stages of production
Monitoring supervisor & subordinate coordination
Inventory picking
Forklift location monitoring
Workflow management
