Ricoh’s Monitoring of Things Engine

Managing on-site operations leads to critical questions:

Are any significant areas, like fire exits, being obstructed?
Are unauthorized personnel accessing restricted areas?
Has an operator left their station with the machine on?
How many occupants are currently in the building?

You need to be notified quickly if these events occur so you can take appropriate action. Now you can with Ricoh Innovations WorkPlace Solutions, an actionable, monitoring and analytics platform that notifies you in near real-time when an abnormal event occurs at your site.

Based on our advanced, cognitive computing technologies, WorkPlace Solutions’ unique capabilities enable businesses to realize the full potential of Monitoring of Things (IoT + Sensor). We provide state-of-the-art MoT technology that is event-driven, field-configurable and uses less bandwidth.

By improving your business operations, WorkPlace Solutions can help you increase your productivity, security, safety and traceability. Check out some examples below.

Productivity

Maximize Productivity

Company X houses a range of machinery, each one equipped with a series of analog gauges. It’s difficult to monitor this type of machinery without an on-site human presence.

WorkPlace Solutions’ smart sensing creates “digital twins” to monitor each machine, allowing remote monitoring and “lights-out” operation. Managers receive notifications in near real-time when machines fall outside pre-defined specifications.
Security

Maximize Security

Factory Y requires operators to remain next to certain machinery during operation. But workers can walk away, leaving the machines unattended.

WorkPlace Solutions’ smart sensing can set virtual zones around machines and trigger notifications whenever operating machinery is left without supervision. Management can now establish appropriate contingencies to reduce risk; for example, by pausing or shutting down a machine while the operator is absent.
Safety

Maximize Safety

Factory X houses a range of fluid level indicators. None of these are digitally monitored, which makes it difficult to raise an alarm when something goes wrong.

WorkPlace Solutions’ smart sensing can monitor the indicators around the clock, and notify a supervisor whenever a variable is outside the normal or quality standard. Factory supervisors can reduce risk and ensure compliance, as well as receive visual evidence, if needed.
Usage

Maximize Usage

Factory Z has a tool cage with shelves of specialty tools used daily to accomplish various factory tasks. Sometimes a critical tool is misplaced, which can delay production.

With WorkPlace Solutions’, each time a tool is removed from the cage, an event is recorded. If a tool goes missing, a supervisor can review the visual evidence and see who last pulled the tool from the shelf.
