What is it?
Collecting data from machinery is relatively straightforward, but all the other parts of your manufacturing process are much harder to capture and quantify. Manual production data is anything that needs to be recorded from a manual process; whether it’s handling and assembling parts, or delicate and complex tasks that are carried out by hand.
Why would we need it?
Gathering data from your production lines ensures traceability and quality control, and underpins much of the critical decision making that is one of the biggest benefits of smart manufacturing.
What are the expected benefits and potential challenges?
If you want an accurate record of all your production data, vision systems that can be taught to capture information from manual processes and feed it directly into your Manufacturing Execution System will save your team huge amounts of accumulated time and effort.
How do we get started?
Vision systems like these might sound pricey, but our partners at ivii have developed low-cost options that can help you to digitise your entire production process with the right setup.
