M&M Quality Grinding’s Post

This year, Belden’s Richmond, Indiana, plant is anticipating double-digit productivity improvements, grounded in a richer understanding of its operations and equipment. What has led to this great expectation? It was the result of a collaboration between the Richmond Plant operations team and The Belden Customer Innovation Center (CIC). The operations team knew they needed a more automated way to understand the Richmond factory’s operations. There was a lot of old equipment and there were concerns about connecting it to improve operations—or whether it could be connected at all. That’s when they reached out to the CIC team for help. The CIC shared some of their devices and the Richmond team shared some of theirs. Together they discovered that they could connect devices to get the data they needed. As a result, they developed a tailored, vendor-neutral solution that seamlessly integrated with its existing equipment. https://bit.ly/3I97dsV #industrialautomation #manufacuringautomation #operationalefficiency #CIC
