AIoT – Operational Technology

AIoT – Operational Technology

Revisiting OT ( The operational Technology ) While talking to people is always enjoyable, making machines that can communicate with each other is even more fascinating!The shop floor used to be synonymous with earning extra through "OT" 😉 —overtime. But these days, "OT" has taken on a whole new dimension: Operational Technology. Our focus has shifted from extra hours to extra intelligence—connecting machines, sensors, and systems in smarter ways.When building efficient and reliable IIoT edge devices under resource constraints, the choice of operating system plays a vital role. And extracting data from Japanese PLCs brings its own set of challenges, thanks to their tightly guarded, proprietary communication methods.Revisiting OT—this time as the foundation for AI—marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our industrial transformation journey. The foundation of any AI initiative in manufacturing begins with effective shop floor data collection. One common challenge is integrating data from existing equipment, particularly when it involves legacy systems or machines automated with proprietary...

Boosting production efficiency with AIOT OEE Insight Connect

Boosting production efficiency with AIOT OEE Insight Connect

Boosting Manufacturing Efficiency with AIOT OEE Insight Connect In this episode of live sharing on the 26th of July 2024, we delved deeper into boosting efficiency with OEE Tracking in manufacturing. This discussion builds on AIOTmission's recent participation with Axiomtek Malaysia in a mini exhibition hosted by a local automotive manufacturer. At the event, we showcased three key technologies:Industrial IoTIndustrial AIAutonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)Interestingly, during the three-day exhibition, all participants were required to wear hats at all times, which led to the introduction of the "Black Cap." Mini Exhibition at the Local Automotive Manufacturer What is OEE? Where is it originated ? Some background about OEE ( Overall Equipment Effectiveness):-Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key performance indicator used to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing processes. It provides a comprehensive view of how well a manufacturing operation is performing by tracking three critical aspects:Availability: This measures the percentage of scheduled production time that the equipment is actually up and running.Performance: This evaluates the speed...
