Mistakes can happen. If you learn from them.
You know best: automated systems are complex and sources of error are numerous. That's why your process engineers are real experts who understand even the smallest details of a system and constantly eliminate sources of error.
But do you hold on to this knowledge? In reality, the technical knowledge is often in the heads of the experts. And solving complex problems, such as causes of errors for recurring rework, is often a collaborative process in which process engineers work together with technicians, quality management and maintenance personnel.
Bytefabrik Data Stories are our latest add-on module that allows you to link your machine data world with expert knowledge:
Any problems that arise can be quickly identified with Bytefabrik Manufacturing Insights. With just a few clicks, you can record data extracts as a "data story", which you can discuss with specialist staff and derive solutions. You can record solutions such as optimized maintenance assignments and make them easy to find for the future. In this way, you help your employees to learn continuously and always take best practices into account!
Frequent problems
Implizites Wissen
Plant knowledge is often only implicitly present in people's heads. Documentation is often inadequate - a danger in times of high staff turnover.
Verteiltes Wissen
Knowledge about system optimization is rarely united in one person - in reality, solutions are usually found through cooperation between employees from different departments.
Zeitintensive Problemlösung
Solutions to problems are often based on "trial and error" and "gut feeling". Trial and error takes a lot of time and is often not documented, meaning that "dead ends" are often tried repeatedly.
Kommunikationsoverhead
Communication often takes place by e-mail or in meetings - this takes a lot of time and makes the solution process difficult to follow.
Data Stories: Data-centered communication tool
You create data stories at the touch of a button and link the problem description with data extracts from the system, station or process - as a graphic or with raw data.
Extensive interaction options allow you to involve employees in the problem-solving process and discuss it together via a browser-based interface.
You record solutions and make them easy to find at any time. For example, the next time you have problems with a leak test, you can search your knowledge base for similar situations in the past and quickly find documented countermeasures.
And if you have a data science department, you can even use data stories to simplify the exchange between IT and production experts. Queries can be raised quickly and answered in a documented manner - your employees will be happy to have far fewer coordination meetings!
