3. ASTICONArla Foods 2003 – 2018: Learnings
A history of MES-implementation at the front EDGE:
- Early adopter, always 2 years ahead of technology
- Great cooperation with Wonderware /sharing visions
- Too much focus on collecting data
- Too little focus on the last 40 cm to the user
- Little understanding of perspective at Senior Mgmt
- Strong relation management with site
- Total lack of tools for multi-site deployment
- “Don’t come and upgrade, what works ..”

2018:

4. ASTICONCurrent status: Learnings & Challenges
MES/MOM Implementations – IN GENERAL - characterized by:
- There is often “politics” in defining border line between MES and ERP.
- Lack of resources by customer to engage in project
- MES is the “abstraction layer” between ERP and the real world.
Makes it hard to avoid “custom code”.
- Often: too large an initial scope. Start with a narrow, “vertical”
solution.
- Limited Senior Management understanding of MES opportunities /
challenges

Opportunities: Industry 4.0 in Supply Chain
Multi-level Planning
IIoT: Connect to “everything” –
enable extensive use of data

11. ASTICONOpportunities: Typical business cases
• Collect even more data from production:
• Collect “all data” - to be able to tell the story of the product
• Fast detailed traceability through all production steps (4h)
• Collect data without affecting validated systems
• Collect data to deliver “story around Product”
• Optimisation with Machine Learning algorithms
• Tools for the operator, handheld devices, remove double entry of data
• Maintenance:
• Smart remote service (e.g. HoloLens)
• Monitor equipment – repair just in time
• OEE and equipment utilisation

12. ASTICONChallenges:
- 70% says Industry 4.0 is top priority. Progress remains unexpected SLOW. PILOT PURGATORY !
- 3 steps to succeed:
- Executive sponsorship + clear roles/resp for the digital team
- Chooses use cases carefully. Tangible value, easy-to-implement, right people on site.
- Ensure IT/OT cooperation.
- On most factory floors, the links between IT and OT tend to be immature in unique ways.
- Five issues, blocking roll out of solutions:
- Heterogenous environment at plant floor
- Old, unconnected machines
- Security concerns ( stay on-prem )
- Limited site local OT capabilities
- Poor collaboration between IT and OT.

5. Q&A

14. ASTICONPeople, Processes and (then) Technology
When starting a digital journey, do your planning in this order:
1) Define the Vision/Guiding star for the journey
2) People, stake holders (WHO)
3) Processes (WHAT)
4) Technology (HOW)
5) Iterative Process (who – what – how)

16. ASTICONPeople: Analytics translator - the new must-have role
• Recognizing that success with IIoT requires cross-functional, agile teams.
Teams that include data engineers, visualization experts, and— perhaps most important—
translators.
• A “Translator” is bridging the (IT) technical expertise with operations’ domain knowledge.
• What “Translators” do:
• Use domain knowledge to find best business cases
• Use their analytics understanding to convey business goal to data scientists
• Communicates the benefits/insights back to business to drive adoption.
• Can (almost) only be found internally, due to domain knowledge is critical

17. ASTICONProcesses: Where to start
Find the first gross list of opportunities:
- Get your colleagues to think: “If only I could have ….!”
- Remove manual work (e.g. double entries)
- Transparency: collect, integrate & publish data
- Traceability (production and quality data)
- Data on you hand-held
- Optimise work flows (e.g. Maintenance)
- Optimise production- and packaging-processes
- Equipment efficiency / OEE
- Get Suppliers and other end-users’ inspiration
Choose the Opportunity where:
1) Chance of getting very VISIBLE
results.
2) Possible to implement prototype
within 2..3 months
3) If the Site director is not interested,
move on !

18. ASTICON
Technology: Focus on Architecture,
rather than “choosing a software package”
Think “big” - (try to) think “long-term architecture”:
• Connectivity - Clear interfaces
• Open platform / open source ?
• Whatever software, you choose – in 3 years time …
• Decent System Development and Management tools
• Bear in mind: Regulatory requirements come to all
industries

19. ASTICONWrapping up
• Vision: Vision & Senior Mgmt ownership.
• Strategy: Define strategy (and keep updated)
• Relations: Engage IT/OT key stake holders
• Team: Set team & roles (business, scientist, translator ! )
• Tools: Select an agile method (scrum team level, not too big)
• Case: Start with a narrow use case, with expected clear results
• Tech: Don’t wait for the “right” technology. Fail-fast = learn fast !
• Architecture: Define and keep updating
• Connectivity: Integration layers, data governance and models.
• Iterations: 3 weeks/12 weeks (inner/outer loop)
