Remote Monitoring and Analytics Systems

Validated tool to support informed decisions in day-to-day and strategic operations management

 

A remote monitoring and analytics system (RMAS) is not just a digital video surveillance tool. In its mature form, it delivers all the key elements of AI applications in the production environment.

RMAS combines scalable training, computer vision algorithms, logical decision-making models, integration with MES/SCADA/ERP, and automated response mechanisms, and is used for quality control, downtime prevention, safety, and transparency improvement of production processes.

With RMAS rollout, the customer will not only be able to resolve the production/warehouse management issues, but also address specific objectives in each area:

  • Production cost management
    Monitoring of equipment, consumables/ inventory, compliance with product/labeling standards and quality management in real time
  • Adherence to process parameters
    Hazardous and clean area monitoring, compliance with method statements and regulations for contractors
Benefits of the solution
Justification of investment
In the upgrade of specific production sections
Production cost management
Enabled through real-time production process management in each section
Timely problem detection
Problems are promptly detected as they arise and not when they manifest themselves
100% customization
The solution adjusts to your processes
Automated event processing
Unmanned in most cases
100% accuracy
Event detection
Functional capability
Line-based production management

Equipment and personnel management, quality control at every stage of production.

In all production line sections, RMAS enables:

  •  Equipment monitoring
  • Tracking of consumables
  • Operator team analysis
  • Compliance monitoring of product standards
  • Quality control
  • Hazardous area monitoring
Labeling and aggregation control

Verification and aggregation of group labels, compliance with Chestny Znak requirements.

RMAS helps address the following tasks:

  • Monitoring of packaging compliance with corporate standards
  • Verification of compliance with terms of reference
  • Label consistency with labeled products
  • Label aggregation / Linking of all individual labels within the pallet to group label
  • Mitigated impact of human factors on packaging quality and labeling accuracy
Production manageability at operations level
Real-time adjustment of line operating parameters and control of manufacturing compliance

The system creates a single digital model of the current line condition and takes corrective actions automatically through integration with SCADA and MES systems.

This ensures continuous online monitoring and production management reducing human intervention. The system scripts all potential events for each section.

Production manageability at strategic level

Forecasting of systemic variances in line operation and justification of investments in production upgrade.

  • Setting of control points and identification of risks and instabilities
  • Forecasting of effect from changes in specific sections on the performance of others
  • Resource optimization
  • Modelling of manufacturing ROI / investment justification
Warehouse management

Accurate product placement in a warehouse, reduction of missorted items and inventory counts.

Traceable creation, movement and storage of goods in a warehouse:

  • Shorter and fewer inventory counts
  • Less missorted/lost items from incorrect shipment operations
  • Inbound inventory control
  • Shipment control
  • Reduction of product labeling costs
  • Loader mileage check and optimization
  • Preparation for warehouse robotics implementation
  • Less time spent by staff members in the warehouse
  • Fewer incidents involving machinery and people
Occupational safety

Personnel safety, PPE, hazardous/clean areas. Contractor supervision.

An additional behavioral assessment tool allows to identify the root causes influencing personnel performance (for example, regular attempts by staff to enter a restricted area may indicate incorrect process configuration or frequent equipment malfunctions in that area).

Maximized effect with minimal equipment: the same systems are used for both safety monitoring and production process management.

  • Hazardous area monitoring
  • Clean area monitoring
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance monitoring
  • Adherence to regulations and standards
  • Behavioral pattern control
Business effects from system implementation
Lower workload for personnel
Up to eliminating the need for human input
Manageability and safety improvement
of production processes at each stage
Informed decisions
On upgrading production based on investment feasibility/effectiveness assessment
up to
30%
production cost decrease through quality control at each stage of operations
99,9%
label verification/aggregation
0,2%
reduction of the quantity of missorted items

RMAS in conjunction with SCADA, IoT and CV: broader capability, not an alternative

All these systems provide inputs for RMAS and, in some cases, operate as action enablers.
