A new generation of process control technology is here for the optimized factory. As companies shift from product-driven operations to customer centric, demand-driven manufacturing, industrial process manufacturers are reformulating their production methodology to keep up. This new approach introduces a greater variety of products, more frequent changeovers, and shorter production runs. In this demanding environment, process manufacturers need advanced process control strategies to monitor and manage multiple product variations and deliver quality products.
Hitachi’s Advanced Process Control on Google Cloud Platform combines technology, automation and Machine Learning to significantly improve operational efficiency in factories, production lines and manufacturing facilities. This solution brings artificial intelligence to process control monitoring with automated and intelligent statistical process controls (SPCs). By combining Hitachi’s internet of things (IoT) and data science technologies with Google Cloud’s machine learning, Hitachi’s Advanced Process Control manages complex interactions to reduce process variability and improve operational efficiency and product quality.
Built with Google Cloud
Using big data and advanced analytics visualizations, the solution allows process manufacturers to adjust operations for their ideal operating envelope. It flags status changes in process parameters and supports real-time analysis of variance (ANOVA). As a result, manufacturers can proactively identify the effect of maximum and minimum process parameters on product quality and minimize production issues with sensitive or unstable products. For example, cable manufacturers must tightly control for critical-to-quality parameters such as line speed, zonal temperatures and gas pressures in order to manufacture quality surface finishes and concentricity.
