Intégration PLC pour des tests rapides
Goodyear was faced with the challenge of managing and optimizing its tire testing efficiently and accurately. There was a need for software that not only managed the entire testing process, but also integrated with the PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) used in the testing process to ensure a smooth and automated operation.
Intelligent, agile and reliable flow
To overcome this challenge, OS3 developed a custom tire test management software for Goodyear, offering: - Complete Test Management: Robust tools for scheduling, monitoring and recording tire tests, ensuring an organized and efficient workflow. - PLC Integration: Full integration with Goodyear’s PLCs, enabling automated test control and real-time data collection directly from the test equipment. - Intuitive Interface: Development of a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for all team members to navigate and use the software, regardless of their technical level. - Detailed Reporting: Generation of detailed and intuitive reports, facilitating the analysis of test results and informed decision-making. - Automation and Accuracy: Integration with PLCs has allowed greater automation of the testing processes, increasing accuracy and reducing the possibility of human error.
Results
The implementation of tire test management software has brought numerous benefits to Goodyear, including: - Operational Efficiency: Test automation and integrated management have resulted in more efficient operations, significantly reducing test time and increasing accuracy in results. - Quality and Reliability: Integration with PLCs has ensured accurate and real-time data collection, increasing the reliability of test results. - Informed Decision Making: Detailed and intuitive reports have provided valuable insights, enabling faster, data-driven decision making. - Continuous Improvement: Constant analysis of collected data has identified areas for improvement, contributing to the ongoing evolution of testing processes.
Conclusion
The tire test management software developed for Goodyear is a clear example of how OS3’s expertise in developing industrial solutions can transform critical operations, increasing efficiency and accuracy. We are proud to have contributed to Goodyear’s success and look forward to continuing to support companies in achieving their goals.
