The Business Automotive Turbocharging Technologies Multiple Site Global Operations CNC Machining Assembly Product Validation Testing Labs
The Business Problem (Production) Lack of IT support to manufacturing Assembly Equipment from multiple vendors, assembly lines from multiple integrators Needed to share data in real-time across assembly stations and assembly lines Needed to ensure six sigma quality and serial number traceability Needed collection of all assembly data such as torque, leak tests, final testing, probes, balance, etc. Machining Issues connecting to the variety of different types of machines to see if they were running or idle Needed a way to easily store and visualize the data
The Business Problem (Testing Labs) Outdated unsupported applications Configuration changes required code changes Lack of process workflow Storing data on individual hard drives Unable to easily share data quickly Unable to use analytical techniques Not utilizing current technology No platform to grow upon Fragmented systems across facilities
Goals and Objectives Partner with a company with the ability to rethink the problem and manage and lead the creation of a new solution, and challenge current processes Use new technologies Database, web services, mobile devices, etc Global solution, flexible yet standardized Incorporate human factors in the design and usage of the system A platform to grow upon Redefine the role of the services performed by the lab for the organization Provide not only engineering services, but also engineering tools
Solution - Machining Cloud based data collection system Support for MT Connect and Fanuc Focas Standardized hardware for older machines Collection from CNC, and manual machines multiple types of cycle time concurrently planned and unplanned downtimes Utilization summary and breakdown Visual manufacturing with a real-time digital dashboard Data access from mobile devices (ios and Android) Ability to measure daily accountability and indicators
Solution - Assembly Compare the setup and flow of parts to the router Control the process on a serial number basis Control the process across multiple assembly lines Halt the assembly station and provide feedback based on the router path and quality specifications Real-time and historical browser based reporting Digital Andon display Collect data in real time to a centralized database Pass / Fail data Actual data values for torque, leak, balance, test data Analytic analysis of the dat
Solution - Test Labs New Thought process Combination of traditional and agile approach Combination of.net and LabVIEW Use the strength of each tool Few LabVIEW developers have solid database and web service skills Few.NET developers have data acquisition control skills All UI is.net utilizing web services to the database All data acquisition is done by LabVIEW All communication between LabVIEW and.net is over Ethernet
The Delivery Architecture Each facility can have their own web site allowing sites to have control of their upgrades Updates can be based on the platform rather than on a general version for everyone.
The Application Architecture Generic LabVIEW.0 engine to control valves and acquire data.net provides all user interface and database access All data is stored in a SQL Server database Centralized algorithms Global deployment Real Time collaboration
Benefits Centralized code and updates Friendly, common workflow based user interface Internationalized user interface Isolated cell control from the user interface Centralized data storage allowing for analytic analysis Reduction of setup time Reduction of time to analyze the data An engineering tool, not just a service
Lessons Learned Legacy knowledge may not always be the best Adaption to a new way of thinking takes time With entirely new processes an agile approach is essential Initial resistance to change was high from some, but after initial implementation the acceptance was high
