Overview
Optimizing Production Line Efficiency.
La Marzocco is an Italian company famous for its excellence in producing espresso coffee machines. By partnering with beSharp, the company has optimized the efficiency of its production lines through performance measurement and data analysis.
The Challenge
Collecting the Right Data for Performance Measurement.
- Measuring production performance KPIs was very complex since most of the mechanical parts assembly process is still 100% manual.
- The only available indicator for tracking production efficiency was the stationing time of each component at the assembly stations. Delays were measurable, but the causes could not be identified.
- Data from each workstation was collected in silos and could only be viewed and analyzed in retrospect.
The Solution
Near-Real-Time Data Collection and Ingestion.
By developing a data platform, beSharp enabled the customer to collect data in near real-time and ingest it into the cloud from sensors installed at assembly stations. The data is stored in a centralized database, historized, and correlated for visualization and monitoring purposes. Thanks to a scalable and resilient Cloud infrastructure, the solution can grow alongside the business, adapting to increasing workstations and production lines.
