1 s SOFTWARE UPDATE NEWS ABOUT DIGITAL MANUFACTURING TOOLS AND SOFTWARE Dave McPhail Chief Executive Officer Memex Automation Inc. (Cincinnati) The Value of Virtual Plant Monitoring Manufacturing Engineering: What can a plant-floor monitoring system do for shops today? Dave McPhail: The achievable goal is real-time situational awareness and complete visibility of operations, or connected manufacturing. The vast majority of manufacturers today do not measure the results of their shop-floor operational efforts in real time. With a disconnected manufacturing model, they have little or no real-time data to drive excellence and profitability. ME: Why don t more manufacturers use monitoring? McPhail: As with anything new that challenges the present status quo, adoption rates are contingent on manufacturers sharing their successes with others. Most manufacturers purchase and adopt new equipment and processes by identifying and benchmarking their performance against that of their peers. As the results of our early adopters are validated and shared, we are seeing the market open up dramatically. At last September s IMTS show, our booth was booking a new lead every two-and-a-half minutes and we are now scaling up all areas of our company to meet demand. required, the cost is closer to $5000-$5500 per monitored asset installed. To make an informed cost decision, manufacturers need to understand the value created by effectively monitoring their shop-floor assets. Memex Automation customers typically experience IRR [internal rate of return] greater than 400%, which means that the average payback is measured in mere months. ME: What new monitoring tools from Memex Automation can help shops today? McPhail: We call our award-winning technology MERLIN, an acronym for Manufacturing Execution Real-time Lean Information Network. Our solution includes both connection hardware, if required, and visualization software that, for the first time, allows manufacturers to really see exactly what transpires on their shop floors, in real time, by the second. MERLIN enables the synthesis and contextualization of three data sources. The first data source is the shop-floor equipment that produces the product. This could be any piece of resident shop-floor manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines, punch presses, saws, injection-molding To make an informed cost decision, manufacturers need to understand the value created by effectively monitoring their shop-floor assets. ME: How much does it cost to start a shop-floor monitoring program? McPhail: The cost depends on the method of connection required to access the data generated by the shopfloor-resident manufacturing equipment. For new equipment capable of talking intelligently via Ethernet and using an electronic protocol such as MTConnect or OPC, the cost is $2750-$3500 per monitored asset installed. If the equipment is considered legacy and a hardware adapter is machines, packaging equipment, robots, and PLC-controlled equipment. It could also be a virtual machine, where the process is completely manual, such as assembly or packaging. The second data source is the shop-floor personnel that operate the equipment, and perform related tasks. Our MERLIN Operator Portal (MOP) supports a new paradigm in manufacturing where the equipment operator is as valued as an intrinsic resource. Our customers have proven that if the operator is empowered and given the tools to assist in 26 AdvancedManufacturing.org February 2015

Using Memex s MERLIN Operator Portal, operators are empowered with tools needed to quickly solve problems, boosting shop-floor productivity. solving problems as they arise on the manufacturing floor, productivity dramatically improves. The third data source is ERP/MRP. In most manufacturing shops, these complex systems are not directly tied to what is happening on the shop floor. They hold vast amounts of data about sales orders, raw material availability, delivery dates, outsourced vendors/suppliers, costing, and scheduling. In a disconnected manufacturing model, the data that they are presently fed from the shop floor is manually entered, usually well after the fact, which hinders their ability to influence time-sensitive outcomes and make critical decisions. A connected manufacturing model offers the ability to automatically drive and influence inventory, and procurement, based solely on what is happening in real-time on the shop floor. Another benefit is transparent scheduling visibility based on exactly what has been produced by the company s manufacturing operations without the delay associated with manual data entry. ME: What specific metrics are most critical for shops looking to improve productivity? 28 AdvancedManufacturing.org February 2015
3 McPhail: The new buzzword in manufacturing today is OEE. OEE is a distillation of the six-sigma principles of waste, and is the product of three ratios. The first ratio is Availability, which is defined as actual run time/total time, truly understood. including downtime. The second ratio is Quality, which is defined as good parts produced/total parts produced, including rejects/scrap. The third ratio is Performance, which is defined as actual part-to-part runtime collected/ theoretical part-to-part runtime. Availability is where most companies see the largest and quickest improvement for the effort expended. MERLIN measures nonproductive time into 20 downtime categories per machine. This allows continuous improvement personnel to rapidly determine root causes of equipment downtime and eliminate them by understanding exactly where to look, and exactly what to change to gain additional manufacturing capacity. Quality and performance are also extremely helpful in improving a company s overall OEE score. World-class OEE is 85%, which is 95% in each of these categories multiplied by each other. It should be duly noted that the average manufacturing customer we engage with believes its OEE is approximately 65%, when the actual post-merlin-implementation initial benchmark is closer to 32%. Once the shock of that typical OEE gap is fully understood, within a few months a MERLIN customer s OEE improves dramatically. We have several customers that have started at 32%, and attained world-class OEE of 85%. ME: How can using financial OEE, which you described at MTConnect s conference, help improve shops bottom line? McPhail: Financial OEE, or F.OEE, leverages the power of real-time shopfloor data, and accurate costing data Solid Modeling trapped in most manufacturers ERP/MRP systems. With F.OEE, Income From Operations [IFO], asset by asset, hour by hour, can for the first time be calculated, visualized and Looking to make things a whole lot easier around your shop?

4 This allows manufacturers to manage their shopfloor operations with a new management tool that helps them understand their equipment s contribution to their monthly income statement in real-time, not three weeks after month-end when it s far too late to modify a manufacturing process. Think of F.OEE as a universal metric that is well understood by all money!
