Schneiders EcoStruxure Plant Lean Management Aims to Revolutionize Lean Manufacturing
Summary
We met Silke Bucher, Director of Digital Transformation at Schneider during Hannover Messe Press Preview last month. Silke Bucher: “We’re showcasing topics revolving around digital transformation, electrification, and software-centric automation, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and energy management integration. It utilizes the AVIVA Data Hub, an IoT open platform, that we showcased last year at the fair.” How does it streamline lean manufacturing processes? Silke Bucher: “In a typical lean management process, the operator begins by assessing key performance indicators (KPIs) at their workstation, checking for alarms, stops, or missing components hindering production. This transparency ensures that every operator is actively engaged in driving improvements, thereby boosting motivation and productivity efficiency across the board.
