GE Digital announced Proficy Smart Factory, a manufacturing software suite spanning on-premise, cloud and architecture software that helps to bring the digital world together with the physical world to deliver more holistic operations performance management for today’s connected enterprise. Helping to improve manufacturers’ efficiency, quality and throughput, Proficy Smart Factory is an operations management solution for process, discrete, and hybrid manufacturing environments. It collects and analyzes data to manage manufacturing processes ranging from highly automated fast-moving production to slower moving, labor-intensive jobs. The suite helps to automate and integrate information related to activities for managing production execution and optimizing performance, helping to balance the trade-offs between competing priorities of production operations.
Proficy Smart Factory includes a new set of cloud-based manufacturing solutions for OEE, production management, and quality management that is designed to help reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by up to 30 percent over five years. Cloud-based manufacturing solutions can help to lower costs, reduce maintenance, and improve security.
With the on-premise solution currently installed at thousands of sites, GE Digital is now expanding its offering of solutions that are fully hosted in the cloud as a managed service, which can help to reduce both CAPEX and OPEX. This new offering provides companies with the technology to help improve their operations along with the added flexibility to deploy in a way that best suits their needs.
Proficy Smart Factory provides the tools to help successfully transition to a digitally driven model that allows manufacturers to track data across plants, equipment, materials, and people; specify metrics to track production across equipment; catch deviations to help avoid wasted materials; help to predict overruns and shortfalls before they happen and then reschedule orders based on material, equipment and personnel availability; and help understand operations better with traceability across the broad scope of the production process.
The new suite includes accelerated cloud deployment with concierge services for setup and validation often within four weeks, allowing users to monitor Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and other key performance indicators (KPIs) more quickly with root cause analysis and identification of countermeasures.
The Proficy Smart Factory suite provides a wide-range of digital manufacturing capabilities: efficiency management, quality management, production management (non serialized and serialized), batch and process analysis, production scheduling, digital operations (centralized, remote, and mobile), hybrid cloud industrial data management, industrial advanced analytics, and interactive work process management.
