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
