VIMANA Elevate Capabilities
Visualize & Monitor
Bring visibility of your manufacturing operation to improve day-to-day decision making. Access information from anywhere and enable socially distanced and remote work.
Gain insight into the status, machine health, process parameters, and part production with pre-built dashboards. Use self-serve capabilities to build custom dashboards for specific use cases.
Make operators self-sufficient and more productive. The highly configurable operator interface provides information on performance and productivity tools for communications and training.
Establish a baseline, monitor, and compare relevant KPIs for your stakeholders. The pre-built metrics catalog includes True OEE, utilization, lights out, part counts, and cycle time metrics.
Analyze & Predict
Combine real-world advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI to generate knowledge that improves asset and line utilization, reliability, quality, and manufacturing flexibility.
Out of the box and custom reports reveal insights into what happened, for how long, and why it happened. Identify waste. Understand trends, patterns, and production risks.
Predict equipment downtimes and machine faults, tooling failures, and quality risks. Quantify measurement bias to reduce scrap and analyze tool usage for optimizing tool changes.
Communicate & Empower Action
Digitize work processes for better process control, collaboration, and training to enable improved performance and productivity.
Automatically and proactively notify stakeholders in real-time to process parameters beyond established thresholds to ignite action, control performance, and manage process change.
Communicate and track operational issues and requests across the workforce for rapid, closed-loop problem-solving and to inform process change.
Enables paper to digital migration, capturing the history of a workstation’s issues and comments for smooth shift handover and tribal knowledge sharing.
Provide device or process guidance based on activity and sequential operation to improve operator skills, reduce errors, and improve the productivity of new and existing employees.
Integrate & Automate
Extend industrial processes to the enterprise and supply chain for expanded insight and business impact, while adding value to your existing software and platform investments.
Use APIs and connectors to integrate with other systems (MES, ERP, APM, EAM, CMM, SCM) to streamline workflows, minimize redundancy, and automate processes.
Download data for additional analyses by downstream systems (PowerBI, Tableau, Excel, SAS, etc).
