Key Manufacturing Priorities and Use Cases:

Spotfire helps manufacturers meet their core business objectives and deliver better product outcomes. Here are some of the ways that today’s manufacturing leaders use Spotfire analytics to improve operations:

Anomaly Detection

Anomaly Detection aims to optimize production efficiency by quickly identifying anomalies and preventing cost failures which negatively impacts yield. Anomalies can manifest as sudden spikes, dips, or fluctuations of parameters like temperature, pressure, electrical characteristics, vibration or energy consumption which may indicate equipment malfunction, material defects, or other issues that could impact product quality and production efficiency.
 

Predictive Maintenace

Predictive Maintenance involves using data analytics, machine learning, and other advanced techniques to predict when equipment or machinery is likely to fail so that maintenance can be performed proactively, thus avoiding unplanned downtime and costly repairs. By analyzing data from sensors, historical maintenance records, and equipment performance metrics, predictive maintenance algorithms can identify patterns and indicators of potential equipment failure, allowing manufacturers to plan maintenance activities at optimal times.

Fail Patterns and Defect Classification

Fail Patterns and Defect Classification in manufacturing refers to identifying and labeling recurring trends or patterns in equipment failures or product defects, which can provide valuable insights into underlying issues such as equipment degradation, process inefficiencies, or material quality problems. Defect classification involves categorizing defects based on their characteristics, causes, and impacts, allowing manufacturers to identify root causes and prioritize corrective actions effectively.
