About The Customer
The customer is a leading manufacturer of consumer goods in Brazil. They offer a wide range of household goods, from multi-purpose cleaners to personal hygiene products. The firm must effectively monitor an extraordinary range of production lines while also maintaining rigorous standards of quality and efficiency. They pride themselves on the presence of their products in the homes of all types of people, from consumers in big urban centers to the smallest Amazonian villages. The manufacturer is committed to maintaining an edge over the competition by working smarter, not just harder.
The Challenge
The Brazilian manufacturer of consumer goods was facing challenges in maintaining the strictest standards for product quality due to the high volume and complexity of their production facilities. They needed to effectively monitor an extraordinary range of production lines while also maintaining rigorous standards of quality and efficiency. The manufacturer was looking for a solution that could help them actively manage production line assets, make adjustments to coordination, and avoid costly downtime through preventive maintenance. They also needed to ensure the integration of their MES, enterprise resource planning, and maintenance systems for improved machine availability, equipment homologation, and production line management.
The Solution
Advantech provided the manufacturer with its HMI solutions and communication solutions, EKI and PPC-3120S. These solutions are designed to reduce machine setup times and limit maintenance requirements while still ensuring the highest levels of quality control. Advantech’s EKI-2525 unmanaged Ethernet switch and EKI5626CI-MB protocol managed Ethernet switch offer X-Ring fast recovery (<20 ms) technology for improved network performance and stability.
