vEMI-Material Loss is used by processing plants that want the best performance. It collects and analyzes the flows of products and constantly reconciles to find losses and imbalances. This provides the foundation for a continuous improvement cycle (collect, visualize, analyze, improve, measure). It allows a good management team to achieve sustainable improvements to product yield.
vEMI QUALITIES
Configurable
Configurable. The vEMI Suite comes with a smart architecture that will rapidly configure to the plant floor. This enables order magnitude reduction in the installation cost, eliminates the technical risk associated with lengthy integration efforts. It allows customers to receive more immediate return on their investment.
Modular
Modular. The vEMI Suite is offered as comprehensive bundle, or as one or more separately installed functional modules that address a particular need. This allows customers to quickly address key focus areas, such as regulatory compliance, or to phase training over a longer period. It also offers customers to work within a current year budget, and use savings achieved from a vEMI Suite module to finance expansion.
Repeatable
Repeatable. Because vEMI installs as a configurable product, the data collection steps are highly repeatable across an enterprise. This enables systematic and consistent collection and analysis, as required in response to contamination from a raw materials supplier. It reduces validation efforts required upon installation. This has significant implications on lifetime cost of the digital records system.
Robust
Robust. The vEMI Suite combines industry KPIs with powerful analytics tools and a graphical user interface, to provide a complete solution out-of-the-box. Users can quickly isolate problems and drill down to the information they want to see. The product has a forward looking roadmap, and the configuration can easily update and evolve when the customer wants to change equipment, products and processes.
Compatible
Compatible. The vEMI Suite is compatible with all existing plant equipment and software. It allows scalable business practices to be deployed within an enterprise that has acquired plants or evolved into a heterogeneous automation control environment. It puts the evolution of business intelligence on a forward looking path.
Vision
Vision. When a customer selects vEMI Suite, they are buying into solutions that provide immediate payback, with an eye toward constantly improving plant performance and enabling process, equipment and other plant adjustments to be implemented with maximum efficiency.
vEMI-Material Loss allows customers to visualize loss in real time. The gallons or pounds of raw material that was purchased and that did not make it into the packaged/shipped product is identified. Average loss and current loss are graphed and compared, with real time data analytics that locate the top several loss contributors for a customer selected date range. With a few clicks the root cause is isolated so that prompt corrective action is taken.
