OEM:
Monetize your Business
Understand the market, learn from it, and expand your possibilities.
The machinery manufacturing (OEM) sector has undergone a notable transformation in recent years, thanks in large part to the significant opportunity generated by the export of machinery. Aside from the constant improvement of technology, the expansion into international markets has driven these companies to adopt new business models.
These new models are not limited only to territorial issues: currently, it is common to see machinery manufacturers expanding their offerings to include services related to their own machines (maintenance, updates, consulting, etc.).
Communication standards allow interoperability between machines and different plant systems. Therefore, it is essential to apply the industrial standard OPC, but IoT protocols such as REST and MQTT must also be taken into account.
Today, it is not about having an HMI, but about having software independent of the PLC that allows logic to be applied, and that, in turn, has the capacity to perform advanced calculations. In addition, it must be able to integrate with the other plant systems.
As a prior step to data analysis, there is access to the machines. A connectivity that meets the client’s restrictions and does not jeopardize the rest of the process.
Once the data is available, it must be stored and transferred to calculation and mining tools capable of showing the relevant information to the appropriate person.
Although the challenge is considerable, the prospect of growth surpasses it. This opportunity for expansion, however, demands a great effort in learning and improvement on the part of the work teams. Experience indicates that in periods of change, not only are the right tools necessary, but also knowledge of them.
