Production data analysis is also possible without the need to understand the code.
It is learned that the smart signage service provider “ThingWorks” has received nearly 10 million yuan of angel investment, and the investor is Gobi Venture Capital. This round of funds will be mainly used for product development and team building.
Industrial Kanban refers to a display tool that controls the on-site production process. The kanban generally displays important production information, such as target production, current material conditions, target production tempo, production line equipment, personnel quantity and distribution, etc. . On the other hand, Kanban also records important data for production, which is an important reference value for the factory to improve efficiency, reduce costs and improve products.
But the kanban data of traditional factories is mostly entered manually, which is inefficient and error-prone. This kind of statistical scheme has low degree of informationization, slow data transmission and easy to lose; and in the data processing, human factors have great influence, data processing version is large, error is large and it is difficult to synchronize and cooperate; for some advanced processing, the quality requirements of personnel are better. High requirements.
For these industry pain points, the company established in 2018, the technology developed a smart kanban system “in-depth control”, which is a factory data collection, processing, analysis tools, support in mobile phones, tablets, computers And TV multi-end display. This product can achieve multiple functions such as production monitoring and display, data analysis and archiving, production report analysis, alarm response, etc. Different modules need to add different modules.
With this system, staff can view important production information in real time. Administrators of different functions can read, process, and analyze various types of data according to their respective rights. Relevant data and statistical reports are sent to the staff. The administrator can set the warning level in the system. When the production reaches the warning standard, the kanban will send out an alarm signal, and the operator can handle it in time.
Interesting Technology Jingtian tells that the core competitiveness of the control is to control the various algorithms built into the system. Analysts can freely extract combined data according to the needs of the factory to generate the required indicators. These algorithms make it unnecessary for operational analystsUnderstand the code, you can also analyze. “What we are doing is a tool product. The ultimate goal is to help the factory improve production efficiency and product quality, while reducing the operator’s operating threshold, and reducing the time and cost of personnel training.” Jing Tian said.
In product deployment, it only needs factory equipment to intervene in the system, and supports privatization deployment solution, with rich system interface, also SupportKubernetes clustering solution. At the same time, the team also supports advanced business capability customization.
Customers, At present, the company has reached cooperation with a number of companies, including dozens of European and American corporate customers, such as Corning Glass, Delphi, TRW and other Fortune 500 companies. . In the wood-based panel industry, more than ten continuous press MDF/PB/OSB customers have been on the line, including Dingfeng, Huaying, Zhongwang, Zhongfu, Hangsen, Xinweilin and many other companies.
Team, the interest-skills team currently has about 20 teams, and technology R&D personnel account for more than 70%. The team members graduated from the University of Michigan, Manchester University, Tongji University, Xi’an University of Electronic Science and Technology and other major domestic and international schools of software and automation.
About investment logic
Hubi Jun, a partner of Gobi Venture Partners, said: Gobi Ventures is very optimistic about the positioning and value proposition of the standard products of the technology. The development of domestic industrial Internet of Things is still at an early stage, and the level of informatization is uneven. The access and presentation of various types of data of the factory is the urgent need of most industrial enterprises. The intelligent kanban products that can be flexibly configured by the technology can make Factory business personnel process, analyze, and present data on their own without the need for IT and suppliers. Different from other industrial fields, information systems require a large number of customized delivery, and the delivery of standard technology products is lighter and more reproducible, and it is expected to quickly seize industrial customers.
