Smart Manufacturing: La Marzocco’s Digital Transformation

The Challenge

• Measuring production performance KPIs was very complex since most of the mechanical parts assembly process is still 100% manual.
• The only available indicator for tracking production efficiency was the stationing time of each component at the assembly stations. Delays were measurable, but the causes could not be identified.
• Data from each workstation was collected in silos and could only be viewed and analyzed in retrospect.

The Solution

By developing a data platform, beSharp enabled the customer to collect data in near real-time and ingest it into the cloud from sensors installed at assembly stations. The data is stored in a centralized database, historized, and correlated for visualization and monitoring purposes. Thanks to a scalable and resilient Cloud infrastructure, the solution can grow alongside the business, adapting to increasing workstations and production lines.

The Benefits

• Continuous production monitoring (e.g., delays, component dwell time, unexpected stops).
• Production processes optimization
• Waste reduction.
• Improved quality of life and reduced health risks for operators
• Easy identification of sudden and systematic slowdowns, both at individual workstations and across the entire production line.
• Future-proof infrastructure.
