Schneider Electric has launched a digital solution that collects and aggregates data across industrial operations to develop key performance indicators (KPIs) for short interval management (SIM) meetings.

In these meetings, shop floor teams review production cycles and identify issues and actions that need to be implemented.

“Digital transformation is not just a technological challenge, it requires a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement,” said Ali Haj Fraj, senior vice president for the digital factory line of business at Schneider Electric. “EcoStruxure Plant Lean Management puts plant and supply chain information in the hands of workers, so they can make the best decisions in real time and boost productivity.”

EcoStruxure Plant Lean Management digitises and optimises SIM meeting cycles across one or multiple sites. It automatically collects the relevant information technology and operational technology data for KPIs on productivity, service levels, quality, safety, and sustainability with real-time access to on-site or remote data. Users can visualise issues in real time and digitally track preventative and corrective actions until fully resolved.

The open platform, which can be implemented on any hardware, integrates with Aveva Data Hub, a solution that aggregates and stores vast quantities of real-time data generated by Industrial Internet of Things devices.

“This new offer demonstrates what is possible with collaboration,” said Harpreet Gulati, senior vice president for planning, simulation and optimisation business at Aveva. “Our software manages shop floor teams, machines, and processes, dispatching work and collecting data. EcoStruxure Plant Lean Management layers on improvements, driving manufacturing performance, powering faster issue escalation, decision-making, and problem solving. Together, we provide greater value to customers.”
