MACHINE OPTIMIZATION
AGR will first work with our customers to understand the reporting, data, support, and service needs with a thorough, detailed interview process. After gaining complete understanding, AGR will provide industry-leading engineering and services to integrate the hardware into your machine and/or production line, while working with your IT department to ensure the highest levels of cybersecurity.
AGR is renowned in the industry for its customer support and service. The following items outline the base needs and three subscription-based support and service levels to keep your machine operating at factory acceptance levels.
Speaks to today’s challenges with retiring team members who had a deeper level of knowledge no longer available and the challenge with finding and keeping talent today. In this role, AGR helps bring continuity to knowledge of how things have been performing even during those times when your staff may be changing or if there are gaps in the knowledge base.
Bringing a different level of knowledge to your team when it comes to understanding the equipment as well as being able to leverage the actual data in order to find gains that are often not obvious especially when you have different shifts and operators. A partner to help you hit the numbers and deliver the performance that the line was meant to achieve.
A team that is there to help you stay ahead of potential issues with the scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) trip to handle routine maintenance as we prescribe and to be able to identify other wear or spare part needs. Not to mention set response times when you need troubleshooting assistance or support. In all, providing the service and support that helps minimize lost production time.
Our manufacturing customers are also experiencing the effects of the skilled worker shortage. Given this shortage, our customers are relying on our expertise now, more than ever, for sustained operations and continued high efficiencies of their production lines.

STEP 1
Being able to leverage the machine information to make data-driven decisions is predicated on having the proper industrial internet of things (IIoT) information.
The first step in the Industry 4.0 IIoT journey is the overall equipment assessment.
AGR will work with you to assess the status and readiness of the existing equipment, station by station, as well as the data collection infrastructure.
After the machine or line assessment task, AGR will provide a report and quote for AGR to supply the services and materials needed to make your equipment i4.0T ready.
A base hardware platform is required to interface to your machine control hardware to allow AGR to interface to collect data.
This equipment will be installed and integrated into your machine/production line control system, enabling data to flow from your machine to the cloud so both you and AGR can monitor your machine’s performance.
This opens the ability to monitor performance and fault trends. Hardware is provided to allow your operators to better interface with AGR service and support personnel remotely.
Not all companies have the same needs and with the current skilled labor shortage, some are finding it difficult to adequately staff. The i4.0 technologies-enabled support level methodology lets our clients choose the appropriate amount of support that augments their staff to help keep their production lines operating at high OEE.

CHOICE 1
Silver Level
The Silver Level provides entry level data interface. To participate at the Silver Level, the Base Requirements and any IIoT needs determined in the assessment, must be purchased and installed.
This level offering is for those who require exposure to IIoT data and web-based screens.
CHOICE 2
Gold Level
The Gold Level provides an intermediate-level data interface with basic trend-based analytics. Base Requirements and any IIoT needs determined in the assessment, must be purchased and installed.
This is a step up from Silver for those who require exposure to IIoT data, web-based screens, and trend-based analytics with alerts.
CHOICE 3
Platinum Level
The Platinum Level provides an advanced level data interface with trend-based analytics and artificial intelligence. Base Requirements and any IIoT needs determined in the assessment, must be purchased and installed.
This is a step up from Gold for those who require enhanced visibility into production data and advanced analytics for process and fault predictions, web-based screens, and trend-based analytics with alerts.
