With the "Asset Analyzer", iTAC wants to make it possible to analyse the performance of an entire production environment with just one tool.
In production, it is essential to continuously optimise processes in order to ensure efficiency and ultimately competitiveness. Process analysis plays a central role in this and enables companies to understand, evaluate and improve their processes. With its "Manufacturing Analytics Control" product family, iTAC Software AG from
Montabaur offers comprehensive real-time and historical analyses at machine, line and factory level. It can be used in addition to the iTAC.MOM.Suite manufacturing operations management system, which is designed for planning, controlling and monitoring production processes in real time. However, "Manufacturing Analytics Control" is also offered as a stand-alone solution.
Applicable across all industries
A key component of the "Manufacturing Analytics Control" product family is the "Asset Analyser", a tool designed to help companies identify quality problems in production and increase overall efficiency. The solution can be used across all industries, for example in the automotive, electronics and medical sectors, but also in areas such as injection moulding, metal processing and battery production.
Automatic error detection through AI
The "Asset Analyser" is a dashboard that enables the performance of the entire production environment to be analysed. "This gives companies a clear insight into current and past performance, which is particularly beneficial for critical machines and processes. Operators can react quickly and efficiently to deviations and gain a comprehensive understanding thanks to the holistic view. It is no longer necessary to call up several systems, as the information can be found centrally in a dashboard. This saves time when searching for deviations and increases transparency at the same time," says Martin Strempel, Business Development Manager Data Analytics at iTAC Software AG.
Proactive resolution of quality problems
According to iTAC, a particular advantage is the proactive resolution of quality problems. Quality parameters can be managed in real time and an AI engine automatically recognises errors, for example in electrocoating. Real-time notifications via MS Teams provide information in the event of alarms, events and abnormal behaviour, resulting in fewer errors in the production process.
Intuitive retrieval of relevant data
The solution also supports the intuitive retrieval of machine or process data in the dashboard. Access to your own data is made considerably easier, as information from various machines and process steps in the production environment can be retrieved quickly and easily.
Applicable without specialist knowledge
According to iTAC, another key advantage of the "Asset Analyser" is its user-friendliness. It is designed for process operators, engineers and management - not just IT or AI specialists. No special skills or knowledge are required to carry out in-depth analyses. Dashboards are designed to be configured within minutes. The solution is globally scalable.
Quick to implement
"Many other tools are complicated to use, require specialised expertise and are often not designed to analyse the entire production environment. In addition, they often have manufacturer or hardware dependencies. Our aim is to provide tools that are not only powerful, but also quick to implement and, above all, easy to use. With the 'Asset Analyser', we are paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of performance and thus for higher productivity and quality," says Martin Strempel.
