Automation
Automation should remove waste and variation. It should be scoped by the constraint and paid back by measured results.
Why it matters
Many plants buy equipment that never meets promise because the process issue was upstream or downstream. Others miss value because they skip maintenance plans and training.
How ECIC helps
-
Map the flow and locate the true constraint before any purchase
-
Define the user need and success metrics with safety and maintenance in scope
-
Write vendor neutral functional specs for sensors, conveying, robotics, and controls
-
Pilot in one cell, prove the metrics, and then scale
-
Integrate with PLC, SCADA, MES, and ERP so data flows without rework
-
Build spare parts lists, PM routines, and operator standards
What you gain
-
Higher OEE with stable, predictable cycles
-
Lower labor and scrap through error proofing and consistent control
-
Better traceability and faster problem solving with clean data
