Aerospace Manufacturer case study image

Litmus Edge enabled this aerospace manufacturer to move from a laborious data collection and analysis process to an automated program for probing complex CNC machines. The automated program collects and analyzes operational data such as time spent on machine and drift in real-time. It also sends maintenance alerts and pre-alerts in the case of an incorrect program selection to minimize production waste.

Challenges
  • Unlock data in legacy machines.

  • ​Gain visibility into OEE parameters in the shop floor.​

  • Deploy applications to the edge in a secured manner.

Outcomes + Benefits​
  • OEE calculations: Time spent in machine, actual vs. target feeds and speeds, RCA through correlations.​

  • Traceability: Track each tool, component, and component to map concessions back to the root cause.

  • ​Reduce scrap by alerting the operator when an incorrect program is selected for a part.

Architecture
  • Litmus Edge running on a physical gateway (Dell OptiPlex)

  • Litmus Edge Manager in DMZ

  • No cloud integration.
