The Customer
About The Customer
Lordan manufactures thermal-engineering heating and cooling systems with a global reputation for delivering high-quality custom-made designs and supply flexibility.
The Challenge

Lordan needed a manufacturing automation system that could identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime and waste, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Requirements included the ability to view overall throughput and track mission-critical manufacturing information in real time directly from the production floor, rather than rely on periodical assessments.

The Solution

• IoT connectivity: Cisco® 819 Industrial Router with WiFi access point • Fog application execution environment: Cisco IOx • Fog application: LeaderMES • IoT security: policy-based network controls, IOx application security

Data Collected
Downtime, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Process Procedure, Production Efficiency, Temperature
