Illuminate Software Boosts Asset Performance by 30% at Siemens Facility

Siemens Electronics Works Amberg, a global leader in PLC manufacturing, uses Illuminate™ Manufacturing Intelligence to increase production capacity through greater production visibility at their 10,000 sq.m. facility. Bernhard Mayer, Head of New Machine and New Product Introduction, discusses how Siemens achieved a 30% increase in performance of newly installed automated manufacturing systems.

Illuminate ™ Manufacturing Intelligence is a production performance monitoring system that is used across the plant floor to collect data, identify disruptions in real time, and improve operational efficiency. The software’s bottleneck display identifies stations with cycle time delays, empowering Siemens’ technicians with actionable data. Illuminate software also enhances processes by equipping technicians with data from the previous shift to help prioritize work. Data from Illuminate software eliminates manual reporting and enables plant staff to focus on primary goals, such as reducing downtime and optimizing production performance.
