IIoT Meets Manufacturing Strategy
Removing Waste with Lean Manufacturing
The purpose of a lean manufacturing strategy is to remove production waste (materials, time, or resources). Put simply, lean manufacturing aims to remove any part of the production process that isn’t adding value. There are a number of IIoT applications that align with this strategy.
Sensors have been one of the most transformative additions to the IIoT landscape in recent years. Often inexpensive and relatively easy to add to machinery, they can measure everything from flow to temperature to the status of valves. This allows them to provide constant feedback in the form of data so that organizations are aware of where problems and waste arise so that the business can materialize a lean strategy. Sensors can even help organizations move into a predictive maintenance strategy by using the data to predict when breakdowns will occur—and to respond to them preemptively—ensuring that time wastage is as low as possible.
