In the meeting, she explains the outage and problems that it caused with the production schedule. Utilizing this outage as motivation, she calls a meeting with Daniel Mitchell, DSE Chief Architect, and Monique Wallace, DSE CIO. Through her user group of manufacturing professionals, she’s heard a lot about Industry 4.0 and the ability to get real-time information about all aspects of the manufacturing process. This is unacceptable, and Wilson is frustrated. Secondly, this will put a serious strain on order fulfillment. She had to wait for the weekly report to find out what happened. This is a perfect example of what she has been complaining about for some time.įirst of all, she wasn’t aware of this failure in real time. The Chinese plant was down for half of the week because of equipment failure. When Stephanie Wilson, Director of Plant Operations, looks at the weekly global production report, she notices something that bothers her.
This higher demand is putting stress on plant operations to keep up.
With the introduction of the new PAS, new DevSecOps processes and automation, the plant operations are more efficient than ever. Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, refers to the increase in automation, communication, and self-monitoring in traditional manufacturing and industrial practices.įrom embedded sensors to robotics, manufacturers are integrating internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) into their factories to gain new efficiencies, achieve higher quality and better adapt to customer demands. In this post, we’ll share how DSE plans to add predictive maintenance capabilities with Red Hat and an ecosystem of vendors, and begin its path toward Industry 4.0.

However, it looks ahead soberly and sees some very big challenges in modernizing its warehouse operations and is not sure how to address them. With these successes behind it, DSE is feeling a little more confident in its plans to transform the company. It has also rebuilt the Parts and Supply (PAS) system to allow for more efficient supply chain management. The company has automated a large part of its IT infrastructure and has completely revamped its development processes using DevSecOps. Davie Street Enterprises (DSE), our fictional case study company with real-world problems, has made significant progress in its modernization efforts in this past year.
