BISTel and SK Telecom Announce Grandview® APM Powered by Metatron®

BISTel, the market leading supplier of automation, engineering and adaptive intelligence (A.I.) applications for smart manufacturing introduced Grandview® Asset Performance Management (APM), powered by Metatron®, a cloud based, IoT enabled asset performance management solution that offers real-time equipment health monitoring and A.I. powered predictive maintenance of factory equipment, and other critical production assets. Grandview® APM showcases industry leading, data visualization for all users in the factory. The new A.I. based solution performs real-time fault detection, fault classification and fault prediction to cut equipment maintenance costs substantially and extend the life equipment. Grandview® APM is designed for automotive, semiconductor and electronics, flat panel, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, as well as industrial manufacturers and their suppliers. Grandview® APM achieves constant uptime of production equipment, greatly reduces equipment maintenance costs and provides substantial operational efficiencies across the entire factory.

Manufacturing Challenges

Manufacturers face five common challenges - productivity and quality losses due to equipment failures; high replacement cost of parts; long repair times, outdated and ineffective equipment maintenance programs and siloed data that create huge inefficiencies. The new equipment health monitoring and predictive maintenance solution is fully integrated requires minimal IT resources and support.

Equipment Health Monitoring and Predictive Based Maintenance

Traditional health monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions are slow, require significant user intervention, are localized, take a long time to deploy and require significant IT resources and other costly support. The Grandview® solution showcases five key A.I. smart applications which operate on the state-of-the art, Metatron® IoT data analysis platform. These intelligent applications help manufacturers maintain the health of equipment, detect anomalies and predict trouble spots in production. Grandview monitors and analyzes equipment data, both historical and real-time to reduce maintenance costs by as much as 25 percent.

Industry Leading Data Visualization for Best-in-Class Reporting

Whether you are an operator, engineer or executive, Grandview® APM seamlessly integrates with all other factory data management systems to provide the ultimate data visualization experience. Grandview APM plant wide, real-time monitoring maintains the health of equipment and web-based visualization improves decision making. Grandview APM collects, contextualizes, and analyzes data to enable role-based dashboarding for all users across the factory. Other benefits include:
