We understand manufacturing, and our ability to not just obtain crucial data but to translate the data into viable solutions and see them through implementation makes BEET a must-have team member.

CASE STUDIES

Machining
Assembly
Casting/Molding
Client: Automotive OEM - CNC Machining

Before BEET

  • Difficulty understanding cycle time constraints
  • Wide range of variability
  • Low JPH
Image

With BEET

  • Utilize ePVS to identify cycle time constraints
  • Reduce process variability
  • Align machine performance across identical CNC cells and or any duplicate manufacturing process or station
  • Ensure compliance with proper quality procedures

ePVS Overlaying Cycles

Overlaying Cycles from B-1 and B-2 – Process Deviations that Impact Cycle TIme are Immediately Highlighted

Within 1 Month

15% JPH Improvement • Corrected Process Deviations • Adherence to Proper Running Standards

DASHBOARDS*

Tool Change Monitoring

Image

The Tool Change Monitoring Dashboard displays the required time to change tooling versus the target work time and if the changes were planned or unplanned. You can see the historical view and the data comes straight from the machines.
*all Dashboards can be customized to your needs

Tool Life Monitoring

Image
The Tool Life Dashboard helps with tool change planning. You can see the tool life expectancy versus the actual by tool and position. The information can be distributed by ePVS automatically through subscription. Group and Team Leads can look specifically into their own areas.
Client: Major NA Automotive Supplier – Oil Fill Line

Before BEET

  • Client and supplier relationship under stress due to tools underperforming
  • Bottleneck areas consisted of 2 sets of identical
    machines (none performed like the other)
Image

With BEET

  • ePVS provided insight into mirrored assets to increase JPH
  • ePVS sequence view comparison quickly visualized where process inefficiencies existed
  • Client was able to take corrective actions to improve asset performance

ePVS Mirrored Asset Comparison Dashboard

Image
ePVS sequence view comparison quickly visualized where process inefficiencies existed

Within 1 Month

17 JPH Gain • 22% Cycle Time Decrease • Client / Supplier Relationship Saved

DASHBOARDS*

Journal Measurement/Count
Image
*Comparison based on no additional sensors

The Journal Measurement Count Dashboad measures the initial material thickness of an engine component after it comes out of the first machining process. With this dashboard, you can see how much material is being ground off versus how much material should be ground off & how many passes are required versus the target number of passes. You can see exactly where in the process you are losing time – part-to-part, side-to-side.
*all Dashboards can be customized to your needs

Intensification Strokes – Notifications

Get notified by BEET when certain conditions occur. In this instance, when 20 out-of-tolerance cycles occur in a row.
Client: Automotive OEM – North American Foundry / Casting Location

Before BEET

  • Older PLC architecture made it difficult for client to capture data
  • Could only view one cycle at a time
  • No historic information to tune/return equipment  to optimal settings
  • OEE dropped below 70% & JPH were off target by 39
Image

With BEET

  • ePVS measured the average cycle time for  each machine against a target value
  • Each individual motion is captured
  • ePVS visualized time discrepancies in the lube cycle programs
  • Client quickly identified the machines operating over target & detected motions driving the losses

ePVS Mirrored Asset Comparison Dashboard

Image
ePVS showed motions like die open, close, and extraction were not running to standard

Within 1 Month

42 JPH Gain • $1.5 Million in Savings • 10% Increase in OEE

DASHBOARDS*

Cycle Histogram
Image

The Cycle Histogram Dashboard maps good and rejected cycles over a period of time. Sudden changes in these variables are indicative of process change, failure, or subsequent product loss – which means they require constant monitoring.
*all Dashboards can be customized to your needs

OEE Chart
Image
The OEE Chart visualizes industry standard calculations in a waterfall chart. With the OEE Chart, you can quickly identify efficiency that is impacting the process.
