i-BELT data service process

In order to simplify the efforts from both sides, we follow a step-by-step approach so that we understand customer’s challenges deeply and plan the future roadmap together with our customers while minimizing the initial investments for them.

Step 1: Assessment

By consultancy and workshop methodology, we survey customers’ challenges and operating state (data collection, quality, production budget, load time, etc.). We measure the required data for estimation, discuss about improvement potential, and propose a draft evolution scenario.

  • Understanding customer pains
  • Assessment industry 4.0 maturity level
  • Status analysis
  • Evolution scenario discussion
Step 2: Data Collection

We start with extensive data analysis and then facilitate the “visualization” to provide an improvement estimation and offer assistance in determining targets and future roadmap.

  • Extensive data collection
  • Data analysis
  • Data validation/proof of concept
  • Data visualization (by dashboard creation)
Step 3: Monitoring and Improvement

In this step we build an extensive dashboard to continuously monitor manufacturing process. We promote process innovation to ensure customer’s goals are achieved.

  • Continuous monitoring
  • Extensive analysis report
  • Recommendations under scope for process innovation
  • Manual improvements
Step 4: Co-creation

In this step, OMRON and customer engages in a partnership to continuously improve upcoming challenges. We continue to promote manufacturing floor innovation to attain customer’s goals by making use of various improvement processes and systems developed in our factories and labs.

  • Working together with customers to solve upcoming issues, and to continuously innovate the customer’s processes.
  • Develop data solutions in cooperation with customer.
  • Implement AI and possible autonomous systems if applicable.
  • Implement predictive improvements and prediction systems.
