The new Analytics package offers a series of capabilities to analyze metrics and KPI over a period of time. Being able to collect and analyze key metrics such as machine OEE is key to enabling manufacturing staff to quickly identify any deviation from expected performance and quickly drill down to the root cause for corrective actions. This will guarantee that all assets always operate at optimal conditions.

The Analytics module of Factory Intelligence is designed for ease-of-use. Its open and modular architecture enables different modes of implementation:

1. Factory Intelligence comes with a set of preconfigured dashboards and a tool for the creation of user specific dashboards.
2. Alternatively, customers can integrate the Analytics data with an existing third-party Business Intelligence (BI) dashboard application via a standard OLAP layer (Online Analytical Processing).

Factory Intelligence runs on the standard Cogiscan platform, which means that it is a very simple upgrade for existing Cogiscan customers. With the largest library of machine interfaces in the industry, Cogiscan can deliver a complete solution; including connectivity middleware and applications such as material control, traceability and analytics.

Premiering in 2008, the NPI Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
