Why SHANNON® - Shop Floor Assistance for Downtime Reduction?

Shannon® is an AI-driven shopfloor assistant that continously analyzes high-frequency PLC data. It detects root causes of productivity losses and delivers situational guidance directly to the operator. Every solution and operator input enriches a shared knowledge base, making expertise accessible to all staff at any site in their logged in language. This reduces mean-time-to-repair, accelerates training, and balances performance across shifts.

Benefits

Faster troubleshooting by instantly identifying and localizing root causes of errors
Reduced downtime (MTTR) through situational solution recommendations
Higher output by prioritizing and resolving current bottlenecks
Shared problem-solving knowledge across all shifts and employees, reducing productivity variations 24/7

Featured Capabilities

Event notification & root cause prioritization

Shannon® continuously informs operators about occurring events in production lines & machines and suggests solutions. Notifications can be configured in detail with custom rules. Shannon® prioritizes occurring events so that only causal faults are displayed. Subsequent faults or similar are hidden

Step-by-step troubleshooting & knowledge sharing

Shannon® provides situational, step-by-step instructions, so even new employees can resolve issues quickly across global sites. Expert knowledge is captured in interactive guides with photos and videos, accessible to all operators on their smartphones or in browser in their logged in language

Downtime documentation & reporting

Shannon® automatically generates shift reports with downtime documentation. Causes for downtime are determined automatically. Reasons are semi-automatically assigned, ensuring a complete database for shop floor meetings and shift handovers.

Statistics for optimization

Downtime statistics reveal which issues caused the most downtime. Operators and engineers gain detailed insights into disturbance patterns, enabling targeted optimization of production lines and processes.

Fast escalation to maintenance

If operators cannot solve a problem, events can be forwarded directly to maintenance staff via the app, achiving a fast response time.
