How to explore more about shop floor productivity tools

Best IOT solutions for plant ship floor tracking of assets and inventory

Improve factory shop floor productivity

Shop floor tracking and factory shop floor productivity monitoring systems that offer the lowest cost / sq meters of area coverage on a mesh network. This is usually computed by taking into consideration the indoor accuracy (2.5 sq meters and above), the transmission frequency – how often to detect the movement of the object, the cost of wiring & other infrastructure, the battery life, the speed and ease of deployment and the integration offered with inventory, asset, and workforce monitoring solutions along with shop floor time tracking. This topic explores various strategies and methods to enhance shop floor efficiency, such as tracking key performance indicators, implementing lean manufacturing principles, and fostering continuous improvement, and implementing lean principles in shop floor management.

Factory track shop floor in lean manufacturing

RTLS systems can be deployed in industrial buildings for tracking inventory, assets & workforce & CMMS. The data are available through such system-provided time-in and time-out functions, whereby the time spent by the object in a specific zone is determined using the triangulation mechanism provided by mesh or other network technologies for factory track analytics. Shop floor data collection such as machine breakdown analysis for smart manufacturing, provides real-time visibility in smart manufacturing

RTLS on the shop floor to track machine downtime

East to deploy factory track shop floor solutions including the measurement of temperature in electrical circuits and machines to help detect overheating. RipplesCMMS helps in tracking repairs and preventive maintenance tracker with a panic button for reducing MTBR.

Temperature Humidity measurement is an important tool for predicting the climate outdoors as well as controlling the climate indoors. Humidity control is significant in living, storage, and manufacturing sites. Read about Sensor data visualization tools.

Ripples IoT Realtime asset tracking, factory track shop floor monitoring

Realtime factory track shop floor machine breakdown monitoring

The new generation indoor positioning system offers, apart from the location of the object with certain accuracy (2.5 meters and above), certain moving objects would also need monitoring aspects such as the nearest location of abnormality manager, temperature humidity, pressure (dust control), and acceleration. These multi-function location & monitoring mesh network beacons are capable of providing indoor location and other information such as temperature & humidity alerts to help smart warehouses, and factories constantly monitor the production and storage facilities to ensure the highest workplace safety and productivity using factory tracking solutions.
