Capturing and using
production knowledge

Harness the practical knowledge of your employees and improve your factory sustainably as a result.

Only with the right knowledge can you continuously improve your production. Unfortunately, the right information is often hidden in various files, places or in the heads of your employees.

Untapped knowledge on the shop floor

Your employees and machine operators on the shop floor have a great deal of practical knowledge from their daily work. They know the pitfalls, big and small, of your processes and machines. It’s rare, however, that this knowledge is used elsewhere than the shop floor.

Capturing knowledge on the shop floor

Machine operators on the shop floor are often under time pressure. If a problem occurs they need a quick solution. Problems and solutions are therefore often not documented until the evening, if at all. The IMKnowledgeCapture module changes all that. The machine operator has a mobile touch-screen device. The product and machine are identified in the space of seconds using bar-codes. Visible problems can be photographed; other data is entered using straightforward symbols. Language barriers are no longer an obstacle. The information can be reused immediately by planners and decision-makers in other areas. It can’t get lost any more as it is automatically linked to your digital factory model.

All the knowledge in one factory model

The Integrated Manufacturing Solution (IMS) provides you with a closed-loop and uniform digital factory model in which you can attach whatever information and files you wish to whichever object. So in IMSolution, you can record the whole body of knowledge relating to your production and make it usable. Your knowledge base therefore grows with every problem and every solution. Your factory gets that little bit better every day.
