The Challenge
A 50-year-old colorant plant on the US East Coast lacked visibility into its production processes across nine manufacturing lines. Manual data reporting was limited, causing slow troubleshooting and inability to meet customer reporting requirements for material quality.
The Solution
The plant deployed the FactoryTalk software suite including FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI software, implemented by system integrator EZSoft Inc. The solution pulls data from 1,300 tags and generates customizable automated reports across five plants.
Results
Troubleshooting time decreased from days to minutes. Automated reporting gave operators data-sharing capabilities across five plants. Reports are modifiable to accommodate changing information needs.
Key Takeaways
- Pulling data from 1,300+ tags provides comprehensive production intelligence that manual systems cannot match
- Automated reporting across multiple plants enables proactive quality management rather than reactive troubleshooting
- Production intelligence solutions directly support customer compliance requirements for material quality traceability
