Omron Corporation improved production line productivity by visualizing the printed circuit board production process
The challenge
The printed circuit board production line consists of a wide variety of equipment, making it difficult to centrally control each operation
System operation is checked based on error logs
To improve this, experts must analyze error logs for each piece of equipment, which takes many man-hours
The solution
Printed circuit board production line
Collaborative business with OMRON and Microsoft
Visualization of production performance both individually and by process by linking each printed circuit board’s product information to performance data per process on production lines
The benefit
Non-experts can visualize the production status of each printed circuit board, increasing the efficiency of grasping improvement points six-fold
Possible causes of processes suffering from decreased productivity can easily be identified, increasing hourly productivity by 30% within months
