“ OUR DIGITAL FACTORY IS LEADING OUR DIGITALISATION ”

— Homero Javalera , Director of Operations for Siemens Mexico
345 processes , we accomplished having deep and detailed traceability at an individual level for each of the 30 million units we make every year . We have a “ birth certificate ” for every one of them , a matrix code that is unique for every product . All of that is available in the cloud , and we can make inquiries , analyse , improve , monitor , etc . through applications .”
“ For machine maintenance , we ’ re installing additional sensors , connectivity modules , HMIs , and PLCs . We are getting them connected so they can let us know in a predictive way when we need to do a maintenance intervention so the machine won ’ t fail . In the future , we ’ re moving up to a prescriptive level in such a way that the system itself will give instructions , carry out maintenance activities automatically , and even create purchasing orders [ for parts ] promptly . Whenever the replacement part is ready in the warehouse , it will create and send a maintenance work order to be executed .”
