Welcome/Intro by Industry Principal/Champion

Production processes are controlled by a large number of sensors – the LSI network is actually equipped with more than 150,000 of them! How can we improve our productivity in manufacturing, optimize costs and make our processes more reliable and efficient by making better use of digital technology?
Within a successful RCIP project, we built a unified data management system based on OSISoft infrastructure across all plants by working closely with technology experts such as Microsoft and OSIsoft. With improved data availability and transparency, we can identify and address pain points and hidden inefficiencies much faster than in the past. Engineers now spend less time collecting data and more time developing solutions. The paper presents the successful RCIP program as a pilot in two Lonza production sites and demonstrates the business value in the process data.

End of May 2019, Actemium, together with a major Food & Beverage client, started working on a bespoke Mobile App to facilitate mobile data collection and mobile data usage powered by NFC and the OSIsoft PI System. Today this application is being implemented as a pilot for quality related data (critical control points or CCPs) for this major Food & Beverage client.

The journey of implementing Avebe Operations Strategy 2022 and Factory 4.0 at Avebe is business driven that transforms Avebe from an average performance to a World Class Operation Management company.
Business impact areas for Avebe are around:
• Loss Prevention & Asset Health
• Process Productivity
• Energy Efficiency & Water Usage
• Quality Management and Talent Acquisition &
Knowledge Retention

Data is critical to facilitate this and examples of analytics will be presented using Trendminer and OSIsoft PI System.
Also roadmap and results of the Business Discovery Workshops Avebe did together with OSIsoft will be presented.
