Information is the oil of the new era
Subconsciously, we optimise what is easiest to measure. However, it is not always the right metric. Our DatICE software is the ideal tool, enabling the measurement and evaluation of relevant information.
The days when an experienced technician monitored one or two values on a machine and then optimised machine performance based on his 'feeling' are long gone. Thanks to automated control systems, the volume of data measured in the industry is skyrocketing. Along with this, the demands on their processing are also growing. We could not find a suitable tool on the market that could select, process, and subsequently evaluate large amounts of data. Developing DatICE – our own system that enables manufacturing companies to process data in an understandable form – was a logical step for us.
When I took charge of the new DatICE product strategy in 2022, we faced the challenging task of expanding this system so that it could be applied to any unique machine, a unique technology with a unique data structure.
A significant breakthrough occurred when we started implementing DatICE for the machines we supplied, free for the first six months. This offered benefits not only for our customers but also for ICE technicians who had the necessary data needed to optimise the line. Potential problems could be addressed remotely and much more efficiently. The final handover and completion of projects were also easier. Both the customer and our team suddenly had precise data and information about the machine's status, which eliminated discussions on whether the machine was meeting prescribed parameters or not.
DatICE Basic is the basic and most affordable version, sufficient for optimising line operation, displaying essential information and error messages, and significantly facilitating data collection integration.
DatICE Optimal is a variant that expands on the Basic version. It allows monitoring of production parameters such as OEE, KPI, drive cycles and their utilisation, operator interventions into the process, and more. Thus, the user has access to a complete set of information from their production process.
Since our customers often have specific requirements, we have prepared the DatICE Flex variant for them. This module is tailored to individual customer needs.
We have also kept pace with the advent of AI, and in collaboration with our parent group, MTX Group, we are working on the application of artificial intelligence elements for real-world industrial use. Within DatICE AI, we integrate AI into our DatICE modules for use in predictive maintenance and predictive quality, reducing losses in the manufacturing process.
Modul DatICE Energy – collecting information on electricity and media consumption will enable their more efficient use and targeted savings. It will be interesting to observe the benefits of data collection from production processes concerning the mandatory ESG reporting of companies and the documentation of the carbon footprint.
