What we do:

We integrate the best in class Data Acquisition, Analytics and Visualisation tools to:• Maximise Efficiency: Leverage data to optimise operations• Reduce downtime: Keep processes running longer with a better understanding of

equipment• Identify Hidden Losses: Many losses are not easily identified without downtime

data• Increase Productivity: Anticipate and avoid constraints before they become an

issue• Increase uptime and maximise asset utilisation: Implement asset management

and preventative maintenance software tools • Improve Accountability: Make real-time data visible and actionable to the right

people, in the right location, at the right time

Value Proposition – the value we deliver to the customer• We capture, analyse and visualise key performance indicators from

the manufacturing, logistics and utility sectors, using Industrie 4.0 technology

• Our smart solutions reduce the resources required to gather and communicate critical information across an organisation and dynamically translate this data into actionable intelligence

• Highlighting losses in real-time has been proven to change behaviour, improve throughput and quality and has been shown to improve overall productivity by 5-10%

• We help identify hidden losses, thus reducing planned and unplanned downtime, increasing productivity and maximising efficiency

• Our thorough understanding of manufacturing processes combined with expertise in IT systems and architecture allow us to successfully navigate the convergence of IT and OT for our clients

• We have a proven track record of delivering high value automation and data acquisition projects, for multinational companies, for more than 20 years

Analysing and visualising production data in real-time has been proven to change behaviour, improve throughput and quality and has been shown to improve overall productivity by 5-10%.

Data Analytics: best-in-class, industry proven, out-of-the-box software solutions with video downtime analysis

Data Visualisation: reduce the resources required to communicate critical information and dynamically translate this data into actionable intelligence

• Display your choice of information in real-time, on any screen or device, in any part of your organisation

• Smart Digital Display technology makes your data visible and actionable to the right people, in the right location, at the right time

• Present real-time KPI dashboards to motivate staff and drive productivity• Promote safety with dynamic messages and videos• Emphasise corporate objectives• Integration with digital meeting room displays• Screen-saver replacement – display corporate information instead of “flying

logos”

Data Visualisation Engine

• Paperless processes and workflows• Quality management (QMS)• Training management• Production management• Dispatch and Shipping management• Planning and Scheduling

• Rapid deployment using Matrix Solution Wizard and web-based user interface• Full integration with existing ERP and Accounts system• Digital Daily Management System & Kaizen boards

Business Process Automation: convert manual paperwork into lean digital workflows

Industry proven software, developed for validated environments

Compliant

• Process engineers can spend 10-14hrs/wk, maintaining daily management boards

• Information is often out of date• Focus should be on understanding and resolving issues, not printing graphs• Customisable interface to match standards on-site• White-board interface for problem solving and “why-why” analysis• Can be used for “How-to” training videos and SOPs• Screen-saver linked to data visualisation system, to display real-time data

when screen not in use

Digital DMS screens: eliminate the wasteful effort of preparing and printing paper reports and digitise the daily management process
