Manufacturing environments are highly complex, cost sensitive and time-to-market driven. Parts, equipment, toolkits, vehicles and workers are constantly on the move. Real-time visibility of these assets throughout the manufacturing process is crucial for improving and optimizing operations, increasing production throughput and cutting costs.
Unified Asset Visibility solutions enable manufacturers to maintain visibility in any environment throughout the enterprise by combining various sources of location, status and condition data - including Active RFID, Passive RFID, GPS, and advanced sensors – over standard Wi-Fi networks, into a single platform. AeroScout enables manufacturing facilities to improve operations while further leveraging the capabilities of standard Wi-Fi networks. The AeroScout solution is already being used by a variety of manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, oil & gas, mining and other industries to solve critical problems and create efficient manufacturing environments.
Some of the key solutions in manufacturing facilities include:
- WIP visibility
- Equipment and toolkit utilization and control
- Condition monitoring
- Parts replenishment (e-Kanban)
- People safety
