The United Engine Corporation has connected more than one thousand machine tools at the Salut production complex in Moscow to an up-to-date monitoring system. This resulted in a 40% increase in equipment utilization and reduced equipment downtime, according to the corporation’s press service. By the end of the year the experience of real operation of the “Dispatcher” complex will be implemented at all enterprises of UEC.
The monitoring system created by GC “Tsifra” allows to estimate the current load of equipment, to analyze the causes of downtime for any period of time – from a day to several months. All this data helps make decisions on the correction of “bottlenecks” in the production chain and the rational use of equipment.
“Modern high-tech production, such as engine construction, is impossible to imagine without the use of digital technologies. Especially it concerns the issues of efficient management of the production equipment. The monitoring system introduced in UEC allows to considerably increase the capacity of the enterprises, to get a full picture of what is going on in the production,” commented Vyacheslav Khristolyubov, UEC Director for Digital Transformation.
According to him, due to implementation of the equipment monitoring system, the enterprise has reduced the non-regulated idle time by 12% and increased the utilization rate of the machines by 40%.
The data collected by the system from 14 shops is analyzed and available in real time for all participants of the production process, from foremen to the head of the enterprise. In the near future, ODK branches – enterprises of MKB Gorizont, VMZ Salyut and OMO named after P.I. Baranov – will also be connected to the system.
