OptiFact™ use case

Application:
  • Robot cell that is folding controller cabinets at the ABB Västerås factory

Challenge:
  • The folding cell had a history of numerous production disturbances, downtime and alarms
  • Significant amounts of valuable production time were being lost, but it was unclear what was wrong or why the factory was not producing as many cabinets as it could
Solution:
  • To elevate the performance of the robot cell and to understand the issues affecting the performance of the cell, ABB’s OptiFact production optimization software platform was implemented
  • Dashboards with real-time production data enabled the maintenance teams to monitor the performance in real-time
  • By carrying out proactive actions major breakdowns have been prevented
  • After a successful implementation in the first cell, the pilot was expanded to two additional cells
  • Production time has increased by up to 20%
