Electronic component factory leverages Advantech MachineUnite to accelerate manufacturing transformation

An electronic component manufacturer often encounters production bottlenecks on different factory floors, production lines, and equipment. For years, these problems were addressed using walking management models that caused halts in production. Analogously, recent years have seen component shortages in the market with manufacturers often chased by orders. The situation has demonstrated that previous management methods were insufficient in improving production utilization rates. Therefore, the company in this case opted to undertake an equipment digitization project that connected machines to the Internet. This process aided in the development of equipment management and utilization management capacities. With the assistance of SI, the manufacturer in this case chose Advantech’s MachineUnite solution. This solution was used to build a series of value-adding processes quickly — such as machine information collection, analysis, and decision support.
