THIN FILM LUBERICATION

Vistrian was contracted to provide a turnkey solution at their San Jose and Malaysia factories to implement the FactoryLOOK Manufacturing Intelligence solution for the manufacturing operation. The project involved a full life cycle of project stages from requirements gathering, design, implementation, and maintenance. The solution required use of Ethernet and serial connections to the factory floor equipment and extract hundreds of critical data points from the tools the help drive the operation and process performance. The project was deemed successful by demonstration of a tangible ROI in a matter of months and subsequent phases were implemented.

FACILITY PAD OPERATIONS

Vistrian has implemented the FactoryLOOK system in 3 factories in Fremont and Milpitas to monitor and manage this customer’s manufacturing support systems in their plants. FactoryLOOK continuously monitors the facilities sub-systems by connecting to the SCADA, PLC and LONWorks controllers to extract hundreds of critical data points for trending, alarming, dashboard and reporting functions. In addition, in the command center of this factory, and large status map of the facilities is always on display for immediate corrective actions as needed by their personnel.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING MONITORING

Vistrian was engaged by this leading networking equipment maker to provide a set of tools to monitor and manage their manufacturing operations. The implementation required connecting Vistrian BizFACTOR product to databases from various departments such as materials management, quality and RMA, as well as overseas sub-contractor assembly operations. Continuous data replication into Vistrian database server and functionality of dashboards, reports, notifications, ad hoc queries and drill down to the serial number level data were all part of the project deliverables.

PROBE CARD DATA MANAGEMENT

This leading probe card manufacturer has implemented Vistrian FactoryLOOK in their Assembly and Test operation to continuously monitor the manufacturing test process. Each of the test equipment continuously communicates with its control PC. Vistrian adapted its Virtual Spider technology to monitor this communication and extract the machine and process status and record the data. The user group was then able to use FactoryLOOK standard dashboards, reports and ad hoc queries to obtain a clear picture of the operation and manage its performance. The project was deemed a success and factory utilization was estimated to have improved by 10% as a result of this implementation.
