I.CON, the new IoT platform by EMS Group, is a safe and effective solution for integrated production management.
As a cloud-based data collection application, I.CON allows you to receive data from the control units of EMS machines to then extract the information that is useful to the customer to monitor performance, diagnostics and energy consumption or to manage maintenance and request support. I.CON automates data management in a precise, continuous and absolutely reliable collection and analysis flow, offering solutions of:
- Smart performance
Checks performance
Plans work shifts
Draws up steadily updated, customized reports
Logs any event that affects production
Immediately compares the production KPIs - Smart maintenance
Enables you to seek support at any time
Schedules maintenance
Can be used to purchase and manage spare parts
Monitors energy consumption
Provides telemetry information of the systems - Advanced analytics
Analyzes the relationship between KPIs and work shifts
Evaluate the incidence of failures on the system performance
I.CON is modular, scalable and equipped with a simple and intuitive graphic interface. Open to ERP, MES, HPE, MRP systems, etc., it is multi-user, accessible 24/7/365, anywhere in the world and from any device. Furthermore, it includes a digital collaboration section: an actual direct channel – as well as being secure and confidential – between customers and EMS.
EMS launched the I.CON platform, presenting it in Munich and Düsseldorf, at the drinktec and glasstec fairs, and the success achieved during the two events confirmed the value of the application provided by EMS. The demo, which was available at EMS stands, made it possible to approach hands-on all I.CON’s upsides:
- Optimizes the TCO.
- Monitors all the activity that revolves around running the machine and its performance.
- Reduces downtime.
- Manages condition-based maintenance, forestalling any critical issues to plan specific measures and avoid breakdowns.
- Monitors energy consumption, with historical and comparative analyzes, up to the calculation of consumption per unit of product.
I.CON can be implemented on all EMS systems, both new and already installed. A major resource for Transition 4.0, it makes productive assets more efficient by further enhancing their performance.
By leveraging I.CON, EMS can proactively and effectively support the customer, as well as guaranteeing top-notch integrated production management.
