Our Production System Digitalization Journey
SNAPTION's journey towards digitalization is a carefully planned progression aimed at acquiring, organizing, and harnessing data and AI capabilities for advanced analytics and informed decision-making. This transformation is geared towards enhancing predictive maintenance, bolstering quality control, and optimizing production management.
1. Requirements Collection
​Requirements serve as the critical building blocks that shape and guide a successful digitalization journey, ensuring that all goals and objectives are clearly defined from the outset.
3. Gateways Installation & Machines Connection
Gateways with their agents are installed to enable seamless data transfer and integration through the most established protocols (e.g., OPC-UA, S7). This establishes a network link between the machines and the digitalization infrastructure, ensuring a reliable and continuous flow of data for analysis and monitoring.
5. Off-the-shelf & custom services development and integration
The integration of services for encompasses dashboards, data processing and analysis, enabling real-time insights and informed decision-making. Additionally, it includes features such as alerts, anomaly detection, AI-driven decision support systems, and actuation capabilities, providing a comprehensive solution for monitoring and responding to critical business metrics and events.
2. Specifications Definition and Roadmap Setup
Requirements, specific business needs and technological constraints are translated into comprehensive technical specifications, ensuring a clear roadmap for implementing digital solutions tailored to objectives.
4. IIoT Platform Configuration, Deployment & Testing
The platform configuration involves preparing the DB, setting up the environment and mapping variables, and creating users. Deployment options include choosing between cloud and on-premise solutions, starting the data collection for functional service development and integration. Testing encompasses performance, security, and data integrity checks to detect and resolve any issues or inconsistencies.
6. Maintenance, customer support and continuous improvement
Maintenance ensures that your systems and equipment are regularly serviced to prevent breakdowns and ensure smooth operation. Customer support provides assistance and guidance to address inquiries and issues, fostering positive client experiences. Continuous improvement involves ongoing efforts to enhance processes and services, aiming for higher efficiency and quality over time.
