Intelligent Data Flows.

Simplified Digital Transformation

While the cost of traditional layers on the plant floor can be extremely expensive and labor intense – from hardware and integration costs to programming and data analysis needs, Epicor Connected Process Control provides significant cost savings and reduces the need for separate layers on the the plant floor – PLCs, HMIs, SCADA and MES/MOM systems.

One application environment with one common navigation and flow from the control of I/O at the sensor level to advanced analytics reporting. Connectivity and direct control covering a wide range of PLCs, sensors, applications and virtually any data source. Intelligent data collection and flow from the shop floor to the top floor for business intelligence and a competitive advantage.

Industry 4.0 Goals.

Transitioning to the Digital Era

Industry 4.0 transitions can seem like a lot, but we make it easy. A smart factory solution to digitize, track and scale.

Why Projects Fail

Missing the problem and data-based objectives up front

If you don’t know what you’re trying to solve for your Industry 4.0 goals will become over complicated and lead to inaction. Start with identifying and solving one problem now and lay a framework to more easily solve future problems.

Not Process Savvy

Not understanding the internal manufacturing process. This is key when trying to develop and implement a digital framework.

No Internal Champion

No key person in-house with product and process knowledge to lead the initiative and act as a key support resource to team members. This person embraces change with a strong, measurable impact on your technology's adoption and success.

No Management Support

Project being driven from the bottom-up with no upper management support. Not willing to invest the time and resources to deploy and manage the project which can often have a 2-3 year commitment.

Company Culture

Content with the status quo and don’t feel digitalization will make a difference. Not invested in the project or its success.

Not Data Driven

Not utilizing and optimizing data opportunities to drive continuous improvement, measure project objectives and ROI.

Data Silos

Departmental, isolated data silos and teams that prevent a collaborative environment and unified goals. Without a clear view of all relevant data, appropriate decision-making and Industry 4.0 goals are hindered.
