IMPROVE 4.0
FOCUS
IMPROVE’s focus is the value stream, from order to shipment
GOAL
The goal is to eliminate everything that constitutes waste.
FLOW
The basis of it all is MONITORING: data.
Data feeds the tools useful in the IMPROVEMENT phase: where competitiveness is built.
SOLUTIONS FOR MONITORING
OEE
The OEE provides two valuable pieces of information: how you are currently performing and where waste is hiding. This is definitely necessary knowledge for those who want to improve by investing time, resources and energy wisely, usefully and effectively.

DATA ACQUISITION
Through data acquisition it is possible to achieve the highest level of knowlegde useful for improving one’s productivity. And this is possible thanks to the enormous amount of information (data, variables…), acquired directly from the field, which is also useful for training deep learning models

STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL
Statistical Process Control (SPC) aims to understand and analyze the variability of a process. Its purpose is to analyze the huge amount of data acquired, highlighting trends and deviations from established standards.
