Abstract
A platform and method for optimizing manufacturing comprising a service box, an application server, an agent server, and a cloud server. The service box is coupled to sensors on a production machine. The service box receives appropriate data from the sensors and transfers the data to the cloud server in real-time. The agent server comprises a plurality of analysis tools and management tools that have been developed by and downloaded from the application server. The analysis tools and management tools comprise applications that analyze sensor data and produce effective results to manage production efficiency and maximize overall equipment effectiveness. The cloud server utilizes the analysis tools and management tools available on the agent server or available directly on the cloud server with the sensor data received in real-time from the service box to obtain results. The analysis results are provided to a client device by the cloud server.
