Software solutions are driving digital transformation in South Africa across most sectors, and PCMP is heavily focused on providing clients with IoT platforms and advanced analytics to collect and interrogate the data that gets collected. In turn, giving clients the ability to view the real-time OEE of production lines and make immediate improvements.
The Pretoria-based company boasts a team of experts that conduct a detailed analysis of their clients’ manufacturing processes, before providing customised state-of-the-art solutions for all areas of production.
“One way companies can minimise the risk of unplanned downtime is by analysing IoT data from a wide variety of assets to help identify problems before they occur. The end goal is for our clients to achieve zero downtime on their plants and manufacturing processes,” says PCMP director, Matthew Cramb.
PCMP’s cloud-based remote monitoring and control solution, PCMP IoT Portal, is a secure and scalable industrial solution, from asset connectivity to actionable business discernments exploited to increase productivity and efficiency across the entire business. Built to be quickly deployed with out-of-the-box functionality, PCMP IoT Portal comes with a comprehensive set of features that have been designed from the ground up to address manufacturers’ most pressing needs. Business solutions include OEE, SPC, e-records, maintenance, traceability, workflow, batch processing, sustainability and labour.
“PCMP embarked on this ambitious digitalisation solution in 2017 with the goal of becoming an industrial automation company that offers the next phase of manufacturing – Industry 4.0 – which is driven by automation, IoT, and cloud computing. After multiple test phases the solution is good to go,” explains Cramb. “Clients can get a feel for the solution by contacting us and they will receive log-in details to their own profile.”
Bridging the gap between planning and execution, PCMP IoT Portal integrates with existing systems and infrastructure to create a comprehensive manufacturing operations management solution. Clients can access this information on any device, anytime they need it, in a unified web-based environment. The system will measure material consumption and energy usage in real-time, enabling plants to run more efficiently. The solution is scalable with powerful out-of-the-box functionality that is easy to configure and extend to meet future requirements.
“The portal is supported locally and PCMP also offers service level agreements to clients that want preferential aftersales service and support,” concludes Cramb. “We are doing our part to assist development of the factory of the future and pushing boundaries to stay ahead of the IoT curve.”
