InTouch Reveals $3.7 Trillion Industry 4.0
Solution For Discrete Manufacturing
Discrete manufacturing refers
to the manufacturing of finished
products that are distinct items
capable of being easily counted
and assembled.
Itspl.com According to Vijay Singh
the CEO of Intouch Systems, to
understand the complexity of discrete
manufacturing it is important to
understand how discrete
manufacturing contrasts with process
manufacturing.
In process manufacturing, the
product is created by using a
formula or recipe to refine raw
ingredients and the final product
cannot be broken down to its
basic components.
Industries such as
petrochemical, food
processing and packaging,
pharmaceutical and life
sciences are examples of
process manufacturing.
The material flow for discrete
manufacturing is complicated
as multiple manufacturing
routes are possible for the
same product.
For process manufacturing the
material flow is simplified and
easier to manage but the
volume or batch size of
production is usually medium to
large.
With process manufacturing
each process is integrated in
a predefined sequence and
requires a low degree of
information flow.
Manufacturing plan for discrete
manufacturing has frequent changes
sometimes as high as 10 to 12 times
a day as it is based on bill of material
defined and multiple routes of
manufacturing of sub-components or
assemblies.
For process manufacturing
generally a uses a recipe and
the ingredients are blended or
refined in medium or large
batches which doesn't require
frequent change.
For process manufacturing
generally the resources are
dedicated to the process.
