Implement in Days, Not Months
The IIoT Xcelerator Solution was designed to be implemented quickly and easily, in contrast to most other IIoT solutions which require major projects and rip-and-replace of existing factory assets and manufacturing software. 42Q customers can be up and running with the IIoT Xcelerator Solution in just a few days, and can easily add additional capabilities from the 42Q platform over time.
The Easiest Way to Begin Your IIoT Transformation
With the IIoT Xcelerator Solution, you can jump-start your IIoT transformation and begin to see advantages of IIoT projects immediately. Gain global visibility into your factory operations and access advanced analytics that provide insights into your operations that have been impossible to achieve until now. The IIoT Xcelerator Solution is part of the 42Q Cloud platform: a complete, scalable cloud solution for managing global manufacturing operations.
IIoT Module: Simplified Shop Floor Connectivity
The IIoT module simplifies and accelerates the capability to connect factory assets - machines, inspection systems, warehouse systems, etc. - to intelligent systems in the cloud. By connecting all of this critical manufacturing equipment to 42Q’s intelligent management and analysis tools, the IIoT Xcelerator Solution enables executives and managers understand the root causes of differences in performance between individual machines, different lines, even work shifts.
Business Intelligence: Your Manufacturing Questions, Answered
Also included in the IIoT Xcelerator Solution, the Business Intelligence module from 42Q provides real-time reports and alerts that enable manufacturing executives to see what’s going on in their operations - right now. From dashboards to automated reports, 42Q Business Intelligence provides easily-digestible data visualizations that enable a plant manager or executive to make smart decisions based on real-time information.

Transforming Their Businesses
Weir Minerals Reduces Manufacturing Lead Times by up to 30%
Weir Minerals, a part of the Weir Group plc, is a global market leader in the supply of engineered solutions and aftermarket products to the mining industry. Their customers require fast order fulfillment lead times, which are met by manufacturing products as quickly as possible within their 12 core manufacturing plants.
42Q Enables Production Readiness to Double the Volume at Comet’s Penang Facility
Comet’s facility in Penang, Malaysia needed to double the production volume of matching networks within a period of six months. While the manufacturing process itself could support the increase, the manual data collection process had reached the limits of its capability. The company needed to increase efficiency, improve quality, enhance traceability and wanted a single source of truth for all manufacturing data. They decided to implement a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and eliminate all spreadsheet and paper based processes. They also wanted the system to seamlessly integrate with their ERP system and a variety of manufacturing equipment.
Cloud MES Supports Sophisticated Automation in a High Speed, Highly-Regulated Manufacturing Environment
A global medical device manufacturer had been producing complex Class II medical devices for years, using 42Q as their MES. Now they faced the challenge of manufacturing high-volume Class III medical devices with complex, fully automated production lines. They feared that implementing advanced, high-volume automation using 42Q MES would require significant factory downtime. The new production lines required a high level of sophisticated automation and a manufacturing execution system that supported and seamlessly integrated with such systems.
Digital Factory Transformation with 35,000 Pieces of Manufacturing Equipment Connected in the Cloud
Sanmina manufactures 250 million products per year. More of a challenge is that there are over 200,000 different top-level assemblies produced each year for 700 different OEM customers with up to 20,000 forecast changes per week. The OEMs operate in diverse industries including telecommunications, enterprise computing & storage, industrial and clean technology. A significant amount of production is for medical, aerospace and automotive products with strict regulatory requirements. The existing on-premise MES required significant maintenance and upgrade effort from the IT and operations teams. It was also limited in its ability to manage supply chains beyond the walls of each factory, and was not well suited for factory automation and other IIoT initiatives.
