Explore the most common questions manufacturers ask about IT/OT integration—what it does, how it impacts operations and why it’s essential to future-ready manufacturing.
How does MES improve production?
Capabilities, MES
MES systems reduce manual data entry and centralize operations, while improving OEE by aligning production with planning systems and streamlining quality control.
What is an MES?
Capabilities, MES
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) connects, monitors and controls production on the shop floor to improve visibility, traceability and efficiency.
What support does SkyIO offer after installation?
Capabilities, Drives
We provide commissioning, training, remote monitoring, troubleshooting and upgrade services, dependent upon your specific needs, to maximize drive system value.
Can drives help detect maintenance issues?
Capabilities, Drives
Yes. Drive data provides early warning signs like increased current or abnormal vibration, enabling predictive maintenance.
What types of motors are compatible?
Capabilities, Drives
Most drive systems work with induction, permanent magnet and synchronous motors—SkyIO matches the right drive to your application.
How do drives support energy efficiency?
Capabilities, Drives
Drives optimize motor operation by running equipment only as fast or as long as needed, reducing energy waste and demand peaks.
