Harley Davidson

When large manufacturing enterprises lack a full view of how their machines are performing, it’s impossible to prevent machine downtime. To solve this problem, BLDG25 helped Harley Davidson craft that full view. We also equipped them with the ability to predict and prepare for machine failures.

HIGHLIGHTS

8 to 10% Production Capacity Increase
Delivered in 4 Weeks utilizing existing Data Flows
Reduced current downtime by ~30%

WHAT WE DID

Problem


Harley Davidson was experiencing a lack of visibility into machine performance and had limited access to machine-level operations data. Idle time, when machines are powered on but not producing, was negatively impacting production capacity.

Solution


Leveraging cutting-edge synthetic data capabilities, BLDG25 was able to use the data generated by the machine’s on-board controllers to understand machine performance and provide real-time machine and cell-level OEE to enable enhanced production planning. Predictive Analytics revealed the knowledge of what would happen and when.

SCROLL

The Results


Informed Insights delivers real-time anomaly detection empowering operators to anticipate tool and machine faults before unplanned downtime occurs. Classifying alarms by failure probability, and proactively pinpointing sub-optimal machine behavior, Harley Davidson operators are able to maintain ideal cycle times and anticipate production issues with 90+ minute load- based failure and 24-28hr machine breakdown advanced warning.
