RACE MES Introduction
Rapid Presentation and Business Value Overview
Presentation Outline
1 The Manufacturing Challenge
The Cost of Reactive Manufacturing
Key Statistics
- Manufacturing downtime costs: $50,000 per hour (average)
- 80% of equipment failures are preventable
- Traditional MES systems react to problems after they occur
- Manual monitoring misses 60% of early warning signs
The Problem
Your manufacturing operations are running blind until something breaks.
2 RACE Framework Introduction
From Reactive to Proactive Manufacturing
RACE = Rule-Action-Cognition-Events
Rules
Intelligent conditions that monitor your operations 24/7
Actions
Automated responses that execute instantly
Cognition
AI-powered analysis and prediction
Events
Real-time visibility into what's happening and why
The Promise
Prevent problems before they impact production.
3 User Story - The Morning That Changed Everything
A Day in the Life: Before and After RACE
Before RACE (Yesterday)
- 6:00 AM: Production Manager arrives to find Line 2 down since 2:00 AM
- Cost: 4 hours downtime = $200,000 lost production
- Root cause: Temperature spike at 1:45 AM went unnoticed
- Resolution: 8 hours to diagnose and repair
After RACE (Today)
- 1:45 AM: Temperature anomaly detected automatically
- 1:46 AM: Cooling system activated via automated action
- 1:47 AM: Maintenance team notified with exact location and issue
- 6:00 AM: Production Manager reviews overnight report - zero downtime
Result: $200,000 saved, zero production loss
4 User Story - Gas Consumption Optimization
From Energy Waste to Smart Control
The Challenge
Wonderbrew's roaster gas consumption was inconsistent, with peaks causing $15,000 monthly overages.
RACE in Action:
- Rules: Monitor Gas_Roaster011.PV and Gas_Roaster022.PV in real-time
- Events: Detect consumption spikes above 500 units instantly
- Actions: Auto-adjust burner intensity and notify operators
- Cognition: AI analyzes consumption patterns to predict optimal settings
The Results:
- 23% reduction in gas consumption
- $180,000 annual savings
- Consistent product quality maintained
- Predictive scheduling prevents waste
After: Real-time optimization with sub-second response
5 User Story - Multi-Stream Production Intelligence
