Real Cases
Maximizing Productivity in the Surface Treatment Industry
"As a result of solution implementation, process availability increased from 58% to 85% in five months. In addition, the enhanced performance and 24/7 operation of the system allowed for a more efficient and effective operation while reducing downtime, creating an opportunity for a 3rd shift."
Braspo Pintura Industrial, ECO Automation
Low-Cost Automation in the Die Cast Manufacturing Process
"Thanks to Advantech’s solution, we can easily control and monitor the temperature of the metal furnace based on soft-logic programs and EdgeLink’s remote control functions. With wireless communication through the cloud, we are able to remotely monitor furnace conditions and quickly alert maintenance teams anytime from anywhere in Japan."
Naoto Kamada, Director, Office of the President, NWC
Energy Saving in the EMS Factory
The solution enables factory energy management without a large capital investment while also reducing energy waste costs by 8% to 13% and supports 24/7 monitoring of factory energy usage, which helps operators respond quickly to abnormalities. Plus, 7-day energy consumption forecasting helps avoid exceeding contracted energy capacities.
Digital Data Collection in the Hand Tool Factory
"M2M (machine-to-machine) connectivity can more accurately indicate the real-time status and production efficiency of a machine, while improving the reliability of data related to production times. The time required each day for personnel to process production information has also been significantly reduced by 70%."
James Wei, Manager of Re-Dai Precision Tools
