Operational excellence with real-time dashboard

The challenge: Production with machines for machining or heat treatment has grown over the years from approximately 15,000 motorcycle transmissions to 160,000 per year. This corresponds to two million individual parts and the number of production managers stayed the same. You can already guess where the journey is headed. Everything that runs manually today will be shuffled around. No more printed lists and flipcharts for shift managers, in which employees have to enter production progress by hand every two hours, and no more reactive target/actual planning; everything will be cast in digital processes, because every minute counts on the shop floor. Like the industry itself, the associated IoT solution provider is also moving fast. The company “Peakboard” from Baden-Württemberg is an expert for such all-in-one solutions and reports on the project together with its customer “Pankl Racing Systems”.
