Leveraging the power of manufacturing data to perfect your production process
Willem Sundblad
Oden Technologies, USA
E
very plastics manufacturer dreams about having perfect transparency into their processes to continuously improve production
efficiency and quality. Using data is the key to optimizing recipes, quality, and capacity to ensure factories stay competitive. The
problem is that data tends to live and die in the equipment, without being recorded or utilized anywhere. Acquisition requires months
of hard-wiring your factory into PCs on top of burdensome installation costs. The resulting data is raw, inconsistent, and hard to
translate into insights. The latest technological advancements we take for granted in the rest of our lives —rising processing power,
deceasing computing cost, abundant wireless connectivity, and limitless cloud storage—is finally available to make your existing
machines truly digital. Now you can collect and analyze data from all your existing machines and sensors simply by attaching small
transmitters to serial ports. Monitor all the metrics you value, together, in real time. Increase the efficiency and value of your existing
extrusion lines. No lengthy IT projects, hardwired networks, or new equipment required. Willem Sundblad will give an update on
the current Industry 4.0 landscape, where the market is heading, and what concrete solutions looks like for plastics manufacturers in
addition to giving a demo of how machine learning algorithms can and are being used throughout the industry.
