Dynamic flow analysis

Through dynamic analysis of process flows, the Miner software provides a comprehensive view of work-in-progress and production throughput. It offers an evolving view of your production processes by tracing each part’s journey through your factory.

At a glance

  • Visualize material flows over time.
  • Pinpoint exact locations and causes of production delays.
  • Proactively detect and address emerging bottlenecks.

Automated value stream analysis

The Miner software brings a new level of capability to value stream analysis. With this tool, you can easily generate comprehensive material flow maps for any time range in your production history.

At a glance

  • Identify excessive buffer inventories that lead to waste.
  • Accurately measure cycle times for different process stages.
  • Replace time-consuming and error-prone manual assessments on the factory floor.

Real-time variance analysis

Ensure your processes adhere to predefined standards with the Miner’s capabilities for conformance analysis. Instantly identify when and where deviations occur in real-time.

At a glance

  • Monitor process conformance in real-time.
  • Pinpoint unintended loops and rework.
  • Flag deviations from the predefined target process, and discover where your SOPs need to adjust to practical constraints.

Use Cases

Leading manufacturers trust our software

Appliances

  • A manufacturer of high-mix appliances needed to tackle variant-specific bottlenecks in their production lines.
  • By deploying process mining, they analyzed their material flow dynamically, which uncovered previously hidden bottlenecks.
  • This resulted in more streamlined processes and enhanced throughput.

Semiconductors

  • Semiconductor manufacturers frequently encounter unintended loops in their processes, leading to shifting bottlenecks.
  • The Miner software dynamically analyzes these processes and pinpoints the locations of process deviations in real-time.
  • This approach streamlines the production flow and effectively manages the impact of shifting bottlenecks.

Home Safety Electronics

  • Multi-line factories with highly flexible material flows are challenging to analyze with conventional value stream mapping techniques.
  • The Miner effectively goes beyond these static methods by dynamically exploring and analyzing material movements at any selected time.
  • The actionable insights generated from the Miner directly support the reduction of cycle times and buffer inventories.
