Segment production at a glance
Understanding average daily production rates from the start of a project, their development over time and average cycle times across different shifts are all crucial for optimising precast concrete production. Data preparation and visualisation tools are now well used in data management systems to enhance the efficiency of production and storage processes.
SDS dashboards
Our modular production and logistics management system, SDS, plays a pivotal role in managing and tracking the lifecycle of every tunnel lining segment from production to installation on the TBM. It ensures compliance with quality and documentation standards, optimises resource usage, prevents errors and reduces costs. Our user-friendly SDS dashboards provide crucial information at a glance: Key performance indicators for production performance, quality and warehouse inventory are visualised in a modern, user-friendly way —giving you on-screen control at all times.
Customised views via the internet
To keep an eye on segment production, individually customisable SDS dashboards are displayed in a playlist on desktop monitors like a virtual assistant. The alarm function enables threshold values for various procedures to be pre-defined, automatically triggering an email alert if they are not accurate. Because many values are only meaningful in context, multiple segment productions can be centrally monitored and compared to each other.
Based on our customers’ requirements and our extensive construction site experience, we have configured dashboards for the following areas:
- Production Dashboard
This visual provides valuable insights into the production process. Production rates can be viewed over different periods whilst analyses of cycle times can reveal potential weak points in the process. Information on individual shift performance can help optimise team structure. - QM Dashboard
The segment quality report shows blockage and waste rates concerning productivity. The visuals of damage type and frequency provide a detailed overview of issues such as blowholes, remedial works and cracks. Subdividing data by shifts allows for quicker detection and resolution of errors. - Storage Dashboard
This view provides an overview of individual storage yard capacities, the total number of segments and the available stock of rings per segment. With one eye always on technology, we are constantly developing our systems to keep segment production at the cutting edge.
