WHO WE ARE
plus10 is a high-tech spinoff initiative of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart. It aims at proving that the AI-based technology for automated root cause detection in manufacturing lines developed by us can be scaled-up from a demonstrator to industrial machinery. In various projects our systems helped to increase productivity by 5 to 15% per machine (in average + 10 % OEE increase). The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi EXIST program).
SHANNON® INTELLIGENT OPERATOR ASSISTANT
Assisting machine operators by providing the right information at the right time:
- <1 % Undefined downtime
- 4 % More output due to short term predictions
- 50 % Reduction of production time loss due to searching errors
Do the right thing
Prioritize real-time bottlenecks to maximize manufacturing output
Eliminate search time
Giving operator precise information of malfunction cause, not only PLC error codes
Solving problems:
Provide guidance for the operator how to solve a problem
Get help
Contact the right person for help via VoIP or mobile service

SUCCESS STORIES
»The collaboration with Fraunhofer IPA revealed hidden potential of 6-10% per machine in the cycle time. In addition to that, we now have a benchmark value for the minimum possible process time.«
(Ed Borger, Senior Vice President Lean/GROWTTH)
MACHINE BENCHMARK AT FREUDENBERG
- Continuous and impartial machine comparison on a detailed technical level
- Breakdown of potentials and malfunction causes for each machine
- Explicit starting-points for improvements
- Best-Practice-Optimum as processing time target
» After this project we know the exact potentials of our existing manufacturing system. We can benchmark future systems with the ideal concept from Fraunhofer IPA.«
(Michael Feldhaus Head of Production Sterile Technology)
