Discover the program of our Pilot Project for the implementation of APC
The installation of l'APC (Automated Process Control) in the mechanical industry, is revolutionizing the way we produce. At Ellistat, we support you in this transformation thanks to our approved methodology: a Pilot Project.
This approach gives you the opportunity to validate the benefits of APC on a machine in your workshop before committing to a full deployment. Operators/setters and machining teams are trained in APC. In this way, your teams are guided and supported through the change management process.
Visit Objectives
Experiment with the closed loop .
- Setting up the APC in your workshop (connection of measuring instruments and automatic control of MOCNs).
- Access French technological innovation for the mechanical engineering industry.
Harnessing the power of Ellistat algorithms :
- Test the APC directly on your production and check that the first part is good.
- Test the automatic delivery of correctors to the machine tool of your choice.
Benefit from personalized support:
- Plan a deployment plan tailored to your business.
- Benefit from the expertise of our trainers to help your team improve their skills.
Our Methodology
Before implementing APC (Automated Process Control) software, it is essential to understand the production process as a whole.
Assess the feasibility of the APC project.
The diagnosis therefore makes it possible to:
- define the project team
- analyze documentation and machining methods
- analyze types of measuring instruments
- prepare the machine connection
- draw up a realistic project schedule
- prepare Ellistat installation and connection of measuring instruments
- prioritize steps and prepare the training plan
- APC project Gantt
- Completed project charter
To prepare for APC deployment in your workshops, our teams will prepare the APC environment and connect the machines together.
- Remote server installation
- Connection of machines and test for sending graders
- Measuring instrument connection and send test.
- Installed server
- Machines connected to Ellistat
- Measurement equipment connected to Ellistat
- Understand the concepts of Automated Process Control.
- Apply Automated Process Control concepts to a production machine.
- Set up complete production from a single part (even a complex one) with APC tools.
- Implement automated control processes.
- 1 fully configured room
- 1 functional closed-loop machine
- Autonomous team for configuring new parts
During this fourth day on site, the Ellistat expert gathers the teams' impressions following the first period of use of the tool. Based on this feedback, Ellistat's APC application is customized and adapted in conjunction with the project team.
- Workshop tour: see the solution in production
- Review of the first few weeks and reminder of the application's configuration: answering questions, reworking the various configurations
- Application customization
- Feedback on areas for improvement, deployment options
- Autonomous team
- Site-specific application
During this fifth day on site, the project is assessed. A comparison is made between the state at the start of the project and the current state. The Ellistat expert and the project team draw up a deployment plan for the remaining machine tools.
- Workshop tour
- Organizational review: answering questions
- Standards analysis
- Overview of change management
- Building the deployment plan
- Autonomous team
- Action plan for site-specific deployment
