# SMART MANUFACTURING PLATFORM

## PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE

1. **Actionable Intelligence - Not Just Data!**  
   Identification of critical issues that can generate potential losses within a given shift. Recommendation of corrective actions.

2. **Anomaly Discovery via Machine Learning**  
   Smart discovery of process/production anomalies during operation. Driving proactive actions to eliminate losses!

3. **Tracking Plan - A Virtual Supervisor**  
   Smart tracking of deviation from plan in three dimensions - production time, production volume, and materials usage. Smart tracking of operator output and empowering operators to eliminate errors and omissions in their performance.

**BORG CONNECT®**  
Smart integration of production to enterprise systems for automated reporting of real-time production performance.

## ASSET PERFORMANCE

1. **Prediction of the "Next" Failure**  
   Estimating the probable time for the "next failure" using a combination of physics and statistics based models.

2. **Predictive Maintenance**  
   Automated generation of predictive maintenance actions to reduce or eliminate unplanned downtimes.

3. **Optimization of Asset Performance**  
   Smart tracking of Key Performance Metrics and continuous optimization of asset behavior using machine learning.

4. **Improvement of Maintenance Effectiveness**  
   Smart tracking of reliability of business-critical assets & auto generation of preventive maintenance.

5. **Elimination of Non-Value-Added Costs**  
   Automated integration of production equipment to enterprise asset management systems for generating predictive, preventive & corrective maintenance work orders.

## QUALITY PERFORMANCE

1. **Elimination of Errors and Omissions in Quality Inspections**  
   Recording measurements directly (objectively) from measuring instruments using digital attachments. Elimination of data input errors and/or omissions.

2. **Tracking Cost of Quality**  
   Computing "cost of poor quality" for each batch or process and associating rejects to specific root causes.

3. **Integration of Supplier Quality**  
   Real-time remote and concurrent visibility of supplier batch/process quality to an OEM customer, prior to dispatch!

4. **Automate Visual Inspections**  
   Achieving accuracy and speed in the inspection of visual defects using an integrated machine vision system.

**BORG CONNECT®**  
Providing real-time instructions for inspections/assembly using wearable glasses.

## ENERGY PERFORMANCE

1. **Establishing Last Mile Connectivity**  
   Establishing the last mile connectivity to major energy guzzlers in the plant using a non-intrusive sensor.

2. **Automated Baselining**  
   Automatic computation of "business as usual" profiles of energy consumption of a machine/process for every product type.

3. **Production-Energy Optimization**  
   Smart computation of energy consumption for every product (energy intensity) produced.

4. **Comparison of Energy Usage**  
   Comparison of the energy performances of identical machines to understand why one machine is behaving better than the others! Smart computation of the expected savings & implementation of energy savings strategies to reduce energy consumption.

## INDUSTRY USE CASES

### PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
A Tier 1 supplier tracks performance of CNC Machines in order to make incremental changes to improve performance within a shift.

### DEFECT CHARACTERIZATION
A Tier 2 supplier avoids human errors and omissions by automating the assignment of root causes of quality defects.

### ASSET PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Large Utility achieves unified visibility of KPIs & early warnings of anomalies in its boilers' operating performance. A Wastewater Treatment Plant achieves usage-based preventive maintenance across its 600+ pumps using a single logical rule.

**BORG CONNECT®**

### INDUSTRY USE CASES

#### QUALITY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
An Auto Parts Supplier objectively records (without human data entry), In-Process & End-of-Line QC measurements. An Automotive OEM remotely tracks in real-time Supplier Batch Quality before shipment & whether OEM's QC Plans have been followed completely.

#### ENERGY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
A Top Food Processor tracks, logs & is notified of Power Quality events to curb utility penalties. A Tractor OEM monitors & reduces weekly energy consumption of a Paint Line across different shifts.
