? to reality.

• Dashboard on IoT platform

Use cases:

• Energy usage optimization: Specific plant sections responsible for peaks in energy consumption were identified by analyzing the trends of their power request during the day.
  • Outcome: The customer lowered their energy peaks by switching to an alternating usage of the different sections and by being notified when a certain energy consumption threshold was reached.
• Outgoing inventory coordination: Production rate was often reduced because of the unforeseen overfilling of the outload bins.
  • Outcome: The customer achieved non-stop production by constantly monitoring the bins re-fill status and by sharing this information with their logistic partners so they could come and pick up product at the right time.
• Environmental conditions monitoring: A correlation between production efficiency and weather conditions was found by comparing product yield with temperature and humidity variations across different locations of the plant.
  • ?Outcome?: The customer avoided production inefficiencies by being notified about the weather forecast and accordingly adjusting their production schedule.
