L&T Technology Services is unveiling Factory D.0 – its latest set of offerings for Industry 4.0 that address the fundamental problems with the smart factory solutions of today.
As quoted by a senior analyst at HFS, “LTTS has developed a broad portfolio of proprietary technologies & platforms, to help clients accelerate implementations and realize the benefits of Industry 4.0.” The major challenge, as LTTS sees it, is in the identification of the right use-cases to ‘digitalize’
Here is a brief on some of the exciting Factory D.0 solutions that, in LTTS’ experience, have resulted in massive benefits for manufacturers across the globe.
Wireless Material Tracking
- The LTTS Wireless Material Tracking solution has helped manufacturers ramp up their productivity by 30{95328d58e7f9e3e54ea8d2b4dc0d5643e4ddd71e34bd972defa4643c55aab0be} and parts availability by 40{95328d58e7f9e3e54ea8d2b4dc0d5643e4ddd71e34bd972defa4643c55aab0be} – resulting in annual savings of $100,000.
Machine Vision Based Quality Inspection
- LTTS has successfully implemented a 3D machine vision system to automate quality inspection – leading to a 20{95328d58e7f9e3e54ea8d2b4dc0d5643e4ddd71e34bd972defa4643c55aab0be} reduction in reject rates. This solution helps address a common problem faced by manual inspections, which are highly erroneous and time-consuming.
Digital Twin
- The quickest way to get optimization benefits is by understanding what to digitalize and what not to. Our digital twin simulations have helped plants with CAPEX estimations, quick root-cause analysis, and massive efficiencies through effective robot and worker utilization.
Energy Optimization using WAGES
- Using an integrated approach toward WAGES (Water-Air-Gas-Electricity-Steam), we have helped manufacturers cut 20{95328d58e7f9e3e54ea8d2b4dc0d5643e4ddd71e34bd972defa4643c55aab0be} of their facility costs.
Collaborative Robotics
- When operators get too close to machines with safeguarding devices, the robots shut down. This often causes a ripple effect wherein all robotic machines in that assembly line stop functioning.
3D Modeling
- LTTS is helping manufacturers build comprehensive 3D models of their plants.
We are integrating these 3D models with VR technologies to give plant managers a virtual walkthrough of the entire plant.
