Diagnostics and On-Cloud Data Analytics for a Leading European Currency Processor
Diagnostics and On-Cloud Data Analytics for a Leading European Currency Processor
Business Overview
The customer is a leading European company providing banknote and securities printing services, smart cards, and cash handling systems. They manufacture tabletop currency processing systems that process, sort, and assess the authenticity and condition of bank notes.
Challenge
The main challenge was refining the testing efficiency. This had to be done by automating different stages of the testing process—from environment setup, sensor, and SOM testing to debugging and then automating input files and validating the test results.
Along with this, the system had to generate multiple reports and graphs depicting the manufacturing quality. Another challenge was to make the final reports and intermediate test results acquirable over the cloud for numerous geographic locations.
Solution
The validations and testing in the manufacturing line were automated by communicating with the sensors, EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), and SOMs to execute step-by-step testing processes.
A web-based software was designed and developed for test automation, debugging, monitoring, and reporting, along with a cloud-based portal for monitoring the reports generated based on the manufacturing test results. Early prototypes were also developed, which could be evaluated during the software development phase.
Value Delivered
- The solution provided a web-based UI for configuring and controlling the testing processes, along with multiple reports to understand the manufacturing quality.
- The software that was developed enhanced the overall efficiency by 35%. A drastic reduction was seen in the manual errors, setup hassles, and the need for highly qualified professionals in the testing line.
- Quick to install and operate, the customized control and monitoring automation solution for manufacturing testing reduced the cost by 20%.
- The solution also provided cloud-based monitoring of test status, intermediate results, reports, calibration data, and logs.
