BOOSTING INDUSTRY 4.0
Cost-effective Implementation
PLUG-AND-PLAY ADOPTION AT AFFORDABLE COST
Industries have realized the capabilities of novel technologies and digital transformation, leading to revolutionized productivity increase. However, they may also be hindered by the high cost of implementation, and only those large groups have the resources to afford such transformation.
By nature, the NDC ecosystem comprises cost-effective NDC Plugs, working as NDC nodes for both networking and edge computing capabilities. Once the NDC Plugs have established the dedicated NDC network, all the other existing smart devices can also be connected to the network and thus be encompassed within the NDC infrastructure.
In this way, NDC ensures maximal reusability of current equipment, and upfront investment will only be the purchase of a given number of NDC Plugs as per the floor size. Manufacturers can thus start a pilot trial at a controlled area and easily scale up with flexibility depending on their specific needs and requirements.
Most importantly, NDC Plugs automatically establishes a high-speed wifi network, so there’s no need for wiring or other infrastructure adaptation. They are plug and play and ready to go once plugged into wall sockets.
Improved Visibility for Enhanced Security
CONSTANT MONITORING & SURVEILLANCE FOR IMPROVED SAFETY & SECURITY
One of the critical factors ensuring the smooth running of manufacturing is occupational security. This may include both environmental security, equipment security, as well as operator health security.
For general environmental security, the NDC infrastructure complements the traditional CCTVs and adds more smart services to improve the overall visibility. For instance, AI-based algorithms can help analyze live video feeds and report suspicious activities. Most importantly, with real-time location tracking of all staff, equipment and service providers, better traceability is achieved. If an accident is flagged, the location of the incident shows directly on the shared map for a timely response.
Similarly, NDC constantly monitors equipment and staff status to make sure they are in good conditions and can operate in a secure way. Otherwise, proactive alerts may be triggered to flag necessary early maintenance or verification of staff situations.
Intuitive Performance Monitoring
Intuitive Operational Performance
In every industry, it's critical to ensure that every staff member is performing and each operation goes smoothly. However, sometimes it's not that easy to intuitively track and have a quick idea of the performance level of each team member and all the ongoing operations.
NDC, with its sensory infrastructure, helps easily track all the information backstage. Being a staff member, a piece of equipment or a delivery, every object of interest can be identified and tracked from within the ecosystem. NDC records location data with timestamps and possibly other status data depending on which kind of sensors are attached to these objects.
Based on collected data, advanced analytics can be conducted to understand the team's current and average performance level, extract actionable insights, identify bottlenecks, and may even uncover optimization potentials for overall operations.
