In the Industry 4.0<\/strong> scenario it is essential to have systems and tools that help organize the information. Using a Plant Information Management System (PIMS)<\/strong> becomes a strategic and necessary move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an industry that has a continuous production\nprocess, countless data is generated all the time. And since the data is\ncollected from different sources, having a single storage system is very\nimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to organize and access historical and up to\ndate data, perform comparisons and understand indicators, PIMS is very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you will understand the basics about PIMS <\/strong>and how it can benefit your industrial operation. Likewise, the challenges are pointed out and discussed, as well as a practical conclusion on the application of it in industry 4.0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a PIMS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand the definition of a PIMS, one has to\nimagine the current industrial environment that provides data from different\nsources. All these data need to be stored, accessed and evaluated easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PIMS is a solution that manages all data generated from the system integration<\/strong><\/a>, as well as storage and availability of this data in several formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way it is possible to have a global\nunderstanding of an industrial plant and to put together data from completely\ndifferent origins, but that connect to each other for key performance indicator\n(KPI) evaluation, production planning and business strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Data-Information-Knowledge\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By using a PIMS it is possible to have the information\nstored in the format of tables, graphs and other visual tools, which becomes\nvery useful in an industrial routine with deadlines and target assessments\nevery day, or even in different work shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With data stored in a single PIMS<\/strong> system, they can be transformed into quality information<\/strong> and used intelligently and strategically to acquire knowledge about macro issues<\/strong> such as the production process in general or more specific processes within a production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons to use a Plant Information Management System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several benefits and advantages when using a\nPIMS to manage all the data and information collected in an industry. As\nalready mentioned, for industrial processes that happen continuously, it\nbecomes even more important, since different people work in the factory every day\nand the data is generated constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it is possible to guarantee that this data is\ncollected, which is available for use when necessary for evaluations and\ndecision making regarding failures or improvement of the process as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the lack of a system to manage all this, it\nbecomes unfeasible to use data strategically to bring insights and innovation\nideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three main benefits of using PIMS are:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Strategic knowledge and anticipation of trends<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that the big reason to use a PIMS in\nthe information management of an industry is precisely this ability to put\ntogether data from the different areas and processes inside the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, it is possible to obtain strategic\nknowledge and to anticipate events and trends, since equipment and whole\nproduction lines demonstrate different signals before presenting some failure\nfor example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, by having systems connected to the Internet of Things<\/strong><\/a>, your industry is one step ahead in the implementation of industry 4.0<\/strong> and seeing the results of these initiatives on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Intelligent and Agile Decisions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the system you can use business intelligence\nstrategies to gain valuable insight about your processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering a continuous process industry or even\nminor companies, errors, failures or unexpected downtimes hinder the progress\nof the manufacturing process and generate both small and great losses to\ncompanies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about this, to understand the qualified\ninformation that comes down to the managers, and turning them into knowledge for\ndecision making is another great advantage of using a PIMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Access to strategic data from the past<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The third great benefit of using Plant Information\nManagement Systems is to be able to access all data from different periods of\ntime, to make comparisons, to create and analyze reports, and to be truly\nstrategic with the information that is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managers often look for answers in conversations with\noperators, case studies or comparing their local operations with the situation\nin other factories of the same group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is possible to obtain all the information\n(with much more quality and reliability) within the production process itself. In\norder to achieve this, using the right tools, having the necessary organization\nand well-defined processes, ensure results and productivity for the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficulties\nin working with PIMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with a lot of benefits and advantages, some\nchallenges happen when using a PIMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine your industry today using a system that allows\nyou to collect and store data from different sources to be used strategically\nfor your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your\nreality today allow this integration of systems, especially with a management\nsystem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We list below the major challenges faced by industries.\nThey can be solved if well managed, though:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. To integrate different tools and departments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Constantly, lack in communication is pointed out as a\nproblem in companies. Different processes, managers and goals end up making it\ndifficult to talk, meet, align ideas and prioritize activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, this difficulty ends up being seen when a new\ntool is used. Different departments need to work together so that information\nis better used in the different tools and systems available, which finally\nresult in greater productivity for industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Problems to avoid waste and loss<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the use of a PIMS, entire teams and production\nprocesses have the opportunity to grow and achieve greater and better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this to actually happen, one must use the\nknowledge provided by the data and be truly strategic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when it\u2019s time to transform theory into\npractice, managers end up having difficulties to include this type of activity\nin the routine, which damages the expected final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. To define goals and track results<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In order to have a really efficient and productive\nindustry, it is necessary, in addition to setting the goals, to monitor the KPIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to have the goals definition according to the\nnew operational reality of the industry, one must be assertive and strategic,\nand try to understand what the expected results are when using a Plant\nInformation Management System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, by monitoring the results, it is possible to\ndraw conclusions about the efficiency of the tools used, and to understand the\nbest ways to follow for the next period of activities (in a month, a quarter or\neven in a semester from the present).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PIMS in Industry 4.0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you could see, when using a PIMS, several Industry\n4.0 pillars start to be used. The definition of industry 4.0 explains that\ntoday factories connected by the Internet of Things, with autonomous and\nintelligent systems are the reality and future of the industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, it is necessary to plan and organize when\nadapting entire production processes for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that the implementation of the different\npillars is in line with expectations, that the generated data is stored\ncorrectly and the systems are connected, extremely positive results can be\nseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if there is no defined action plan in use,\nchallenges may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
