Milacron Holdings Corp. announced triple digit growth since 2017, fueled through innovative products and the digital solution “M-Powered” based on partnership with ei3. M-Powered offers a full-suite of Industry 4.0 services and predictive functions that uses advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence to capture value from machine data to improve overall machine performance, such as availability, quality, uptime and many more. To match the exponential growth, Milacron is tripling its work force for its digital solutions to further monitor projects and provide proactive customer engagement. At Milacron, the company believes that all manufacturers should have access to the tools to make the best production decisions. M-Powered is fully customizable, agile and flexible intelligence software, designed to be intuitively used through analytical dashboards and reports to allow manufacturers to interpret problems and uncover opportunities to make optimal business decisions. The dashboards include basic predictive, prescriptive and analytics capabilities for key Milacron machine components like Heater Bands, Hydraulic Pumps, and Feed Screws. These predictions enable service teams to turn unplanned downtime into planned downtime, to improve machine availability. ei3’s latest innovation in AI through its dedicated Data Science center in Zurich, Switzerland paves the way for new - applications to support preemptive part stocking modules and expanded lifetime-tracking for mold, tooling and auxiliary components. Building on these capabilities, Milacron’s M-Powered is now able to interpret the data to determine impending failures, maintenance needs, or incorrect recipe settings of the machine. Addressing those issues leads to reduced unplanned downtime, and improved OEE. These features boost existing M-Powered capabilities, valued by countless customers in everyday operations. Key Production Reporting features: Real-time reporting of production information, Integrates work orders, production orders, quality, downtime and process parameter results, User configuration tools, Automatic scheduled email delivery of configured reports to users and groups, Variety of formats including pdf, excel and text, Many standard reports available and Custom reports can be created upon request. ei3 makes it incredibly easy to reap immediate benefits from data set. Without much learning, investments, or waiting or large sets of data to collect, at a click of a button can unlock ei3’s extensive production reporting capabilities. Comprehensive reports give information on the status of operations, allowing to see what is going on at an unprecedented level of clarity, and take decisions based on facts and figures rather than hear-say. Each report can of course be adapted to fit needs, both from a content perspective but also graphically (for example, it will come with company logo on!), or can define an entirely new report template.

Customers can verify without question what data is collected and ei3 is committed to IoT cloud security. All modules provided by the collaboration of Milacron and ei3 are secure: Security of data is guaranteed from the creation of the machine data, the transfer to the cloud, to the application and any API integration back into the computer system. Strategically placed private data centers leverages physical infrastructure, redundancy, backup, and failover with 24x7 availability to machine data with no data limits. A rigorous cybersecurity system to constantly monitor and improve applications, systems and processes that withstand the growing risks of cyber hacking. ei3 has attained the ISO 27001 certification of compliance by DEKRA. Orchestrated based on complete admin autonomy, with access to division, machine, completely auditable remote service translations, and module control for unlimited users to receive actionable information on the machine.
