Real outcomes on real shop floors — from automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to component manufacturers. Watch our case study videos and explore how Njitsu delivers SCADA, MES and IIoT that move the needle on OEE, traceability and downtime.
Press play to see digitalisation and smart manufacturing in action.
Smart manufacturing and MES in action — a walkthrough of how connected shop-floor systems turn machine data into real-time visibility and control.
Digitalisation on the plant floor — how automation, SCADA and analytics come together to improve efficiency, quality and traceability.
Selected MES/SCADA implementations across the automotive value chain.
Daimler’s 1,500-ft in-line truck assembly process with 125+ manual workstations and no station-to-station visibility.
No monitoring, control, or feedback across stations caused substantial unplanned downtime and left maintenance without tools to pinpoint issues.
Ignition SCADA powers a real-time ANDON system across the full line; Sepasoft MES calculates OEE and downtime-by-shift/line/station/equipment for continuous improvement.
At its Goleta, CA facility, Veoneer manufactures night-vision systems for leading automakers. A corporate restructuring made its existing SCADA/MES system unusable.
Flexware had just three calendar months to recreate years of built-up SCADA and MES functionality, including traceability, under licensing restrictions.
Flexware built a reusable Ignition MES framework with product/order traceability, PLC-level ‘action scripting,’ and HTTP-based line integration — fully client-configurable.
The OEM ran disparate shop-floor systems — Dyno test, Emission test, Wheel Alignment, Nut runners, and more — each producing its own island of data ahead of final dispatch inspection.
Integrate those islands of information into a central data storage and analytical system that applies pre-defined business rules and reports compliance to the pre-dispatch inspection station in a challenging takt time.
Deployed an Ethernet backbone linking the shop-floor systems to the MES, where analytics and reporting ran automatically — giving the dispatch stage on-time information, removing it as a shipment bottleneck, and helping meet shipment commitments.
Sensors, controllers, and HMIs were spread across multiple plant lines and locations, with no unified way to bring that shop-floor data onto an IIoT platform.
Connect all locational data to a central server and modify PLC/HMI logic across many device varieties so the required data could be surfaced on the IIoT platform.
Developed/modified programs across PLCs, HMIs, and CNCs and integrated all data into an OPC server (Kepware), then mapped it into MES/IIoT screens — giving a single data source, an easily extendable platform, and role-based dashboards for Operators, Engineers, and Managers to monitor KPIs and act preventively.
