The challenge, how the system works, the solution components and the results.
Every façade passes through 22 stations. Sobha needed to know what each one costs in time.
Sobha Modular builds façades on a linear line where every element comes together like pieces of a puzzle. Each unit moves through 22 dedicated workstations, including plumbing, painting, electrical and finishing. To speed up production, Sobha first had to measure it accurately, station by station, while keeping people safe around the line.
- Time spent at each workstation
- Productivity of individual stations
- Production cycle time
- Bottlenecks and process delays
- Workforce efficiency, safely
Measure the time spent at every station accurately, then use it to speed up production, make better use of the workforce and raise overall productivity.
One system that protects the workforce and measures every station.
Creative Industrial Automation, in partnership with Schmersal, built a combined safety and productivity monitoring system across the line. The Safety PLC runs the safety functions and, at the same time, collects production-cycle data from every workstation.
Workstations now protected and measured in real time, from one integrated system.
SAFETY THAT PROTECTS · DATA THAT PERFORMS · PRODUCTIVITY THAT DELIVERS
Proud to partner with Sobha Modular and Schmersal on a project that brings machine safety, automation, data monitoring and productivity analysis together in one solution.
