This
week, Ubisense announced enhancements to its
Smart Factory system that will be available early next
year. Admittedly, we’ve been a tad
quiet about Smart Factory so I thought I’d formally introduce you to one of
the most advanced location intelligence offerings available to manufacturers
today.
Ubisense
Smart Factory is a production-certified system that helps manufacturers
sustain continuous flow, optimize efficiency and reduce errors in manual
assembly processes. By
accurately identifying and locating process-critical assets, Smart Factory
provides real-time operational awareness, adaptive control and data-driven
insights.
Using a
sophisticated system that combines advanced hardware (tags and sensors) with
software, Ubisense Smart Factory can reveal an entirely new level of
visibility to help manufacturers gain efficiencies at a level never before
possible. Think massive improvements in quality, productivity, and
operational control and costs – all which help manufacturers more
effectively manage mass product customization, which is where our world is
headed.
For
instance, in 2012, car
buyers in Europe had 190 different car model choices. In 2019, the number
will increase to an estimated 230 different models[1].
Producing that level of variation requires a substantial number of different
parts and processes. How can
manufacturers possibly maintain quality by delivering on the demand for
customization and choice? Ubisense Smart Factory.
