As manufacturers accept the fact that they must undergo a “digital transformation” if they want to stay in business for the long term, many are moving toward technology—like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). But adopting technology just for technology sake doesn’t solve anything. You can’t slap a sensor onto an instrument and expect results.
数字旅程必须进行设计。进入L&T Technology Services (LTTS), an engineering services organization that has developed a portfolio of proprietary technologies designed to help clients accelerate implementations and realize the benefits of Industry 4.0.
该公司捆绑在工厂D.0的绰号下，在本周举行的新闻发布会上介绍了其产品ARC Industry Forumin Orlando. The point of the technology portfolio is to solve the major challenges manufacturers face by identifying the right use cases that will benefit the most from digitalization and deliver a return on investment.
“Factory D.0 is a set of solutions we’ve developed in collaboration with smart manufacturing,” said Narayanan Ramanathan, global head of digital engineering at L&T Technology Services. “Our customers are all doing digitalization in some form, but they haven’t figured out the right use case. It’s not aligned with their business goals.”
In an effort to solve that problem, Factory D.0 is a one-stop shop offering that includes wireless material tracking, machine vision-based quality inspection, digital twin, energy optimization, collaborative robotics, integrated 3D modeling and virtual reality, and more. Working with manufacturers across a variety of industry sectors, over the last year, LTTS have gone into organizations to do a benchmark analysis, understand each company’s digital maturity, conduct a gap analysis to understand the obstacles and areas of opportunity, and then built proof of concepts for particular application areas.
一些早期结果包括：全球航空航天制造商的无线材料跟踪系统，该系统在整个供应链中实现了RFID标签，以跟踪订单，市场数据和生产计划，作为集成数据库的一部分。在第一年，一条生产线的每年节省超过100,000美元，而生产率上涨了30％，零件的可用性增长了40％。
另外，LTT为自动化手动流程的组织设计了质量检查系统。该系统每年在一条生产线上节省了15万美元，生产率提高了8％，拒绝率降低了20％。而且，他们在糖果厂的工厂地板上进行了数字化双胞胎，该数字植物模拟了实时数据的零件，从而使公司能够执行“如果”场景，以找出工厂中效率低下的情况。在第一年，制造商节省了超过100万美元，整体设备有效性增长了13％。
LTTS overs a breadth of services as it continues to work closely with major manufacturers to unearth new digitalization use cases that unlock business value.
