Imagine your plant, with the several machines and integration projects, all the various installs from the initial to those that followed. At the beginning it was assumed all work would be perfectly finished and all functions available for operational use. But that is not what you have today, especially after years of degradation and a new era of rapid changes.
This is what I see while helping keep automated manufacturing systems running well.
Is this in fact what you have today in your facilities? Do you have degradation to debilitating levels?
I am very eager to know what you are seeing so we can develop better ways to mitigate and improve what these systems can do.
