“Integrated communication is always desirable,” said one packaging line manager, “but a challenge to implement with so many different pieces of equipment. The most important question is: who is going to oversee the data collection and who’s going to mine and interpret that data.”

Typical types of data being collected on production/packaging lines includes: production rates, scrap/waste, run time, OEE, maintenance diagnostics, product tracking, fault time and batch control.
