Achieve start-up and changeover performance using industrial software, control systems, data management, and intelligent devices across all production stages.
Michalle Adkins, director, life sciences strategy at Emerson, discusses the structure of manufacturing organizations and how novel technologies may play a role in operations.
Time spent ensuring facility fit, configuring, testing, and validating automation and information management solutions slows the transition to the next product and minimizes the use of advanced applications. It is important for manufacturers to be flexible enough to accommodate different product types, specifications, and volumes, all while maintaining high efficiency and quick changeovers. With the right industrial software, intelligent devices, and control strategy, product transitions can be seamless and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Meeting Production Schedules
When performing changeovers by implementing a new product or switching to a new product, it is important to automate and digitize your operations with advanced production technologies--such as in-line sensing, production simulation, remote monitoring, and real time analytics. Using advanced software models can predict and mitigate quality risks, ensure compliance, and move toward zero deviations. And adding electronic documentation creates a seamless information flow from raw materials supply to production planning and quality control. Lastly, proactive risk management with real-time and predictive equipment monitoring reduces downtime, maximizes throughput, and lowers the cost of changeover.
From applying automation during process development to collecting data with context during manufacturing, software solutions are deployed to optimize control, improve data management, provide real-time product quality information, and lower operating costs. Implementing the right software will ensure production reliability and data integration. Emerson’s DeltaV and Aspentech’s digital solutions improve inventory management, eliminates variability and delivers cost-effective compliance with repeatable production, from design to implementation and startup to on-going optimization.
