In the industrial sector, many of the processes that are carried out are aimed at ensuring the best possible production and improving ROI, so changes and modifications are often made to achieve this improvement in overall performance. Among these processes, one of them is the possibility to produce different products without the need to purchase additional machinery, or in other words, what is known as a ‘changeover’.
By definition, a changeover is the preparation of a machine or equipment to be able to produce a new article, especially in the industrial sector of manufacturing or production.
Changeovers in industry involve many operations where parts and elements of the machine are changed in order to adapt them to the new needs of the new product and start production. It is necessary to take into account the importance of doing this quickly and at the lowest possible cost, and here, the “digital transformation” plays a very important role.
How to digitise changeovers of format?
Instead of “digital transformation”, some prefer to use a much more specific term: “digitisation”. Digitalisation involves the incorporation of digital tools that help to carry out processes in a more efficient and secure way, with the impact on ROI that this entails.
Within the industrial environment, it is common to see lines stopped for an excessive amount of time due to format changes; a time that can be considerably reduced thanks to existing solutions on the market.
Evidence: who does what, when they do what and how they do what
Currently, there are solutions on the market that make it possible to digitise format changes in Industry, offering different tools for, on the one hand, the homogeneous execution of these processes, and on the other, to leave evidence of who did what, when and how it was done, thus reducing the time required to a minimum and making it possible to “control” format changes.
