Five years ago, TICO was still using paper for some processes; digital transformation was not a thing.
 
However, from starting with digitalizing work instructions, to building up their own MES, a lot has been achieved over the past five years, and now much more can be produced with a lot less pressure to rely on a declining labor and skills pool.  
  
So how did they do it, what did they do, and how did they make sure they spent their dollars wisely?  
  
Join Michael Rousch to dig into the details of how they doubled their production between 2022 and 2023 by letting the data drive what they do at TICO. Exploring approaches to people, processes, and technology, Michael's lessons learned, and future plans are not to be missed if you're looking to start or scale your digital roadmap.  

Join Richard Shaw as he does a quick but meaningful demo of the technology commonly used IIoT / Digital Transformation.
 
Breakdown the software stack of:

- (M)QTT – Used to provide communication between other components of the stack.
- (I)nfluxDB – Used to store all the sensor data.
- (N)ode Red – Low code platform to process logic, model data, and write to the database.
- (G)rafana – Commonly used platform in IT for dashboards and monitoring.

In a dynamic, low-volume, high-mix job shop, operational excellence can seem elusive. Join us as we unpack how combining real-time data from OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), RTLS (Real-Time Locating System), and APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) systems with advanced analytics transformed our plant’s performance, delivering impressive financial and customer-centric results.
 
Learn how we improved operating profit, reduced lead times, and boosted on-time delivery, all while enhancing customer satisfaction and winning market share, and a prestigious President’s Award. Discover actionable insights into transforming complex operations into competitive advantage.
