Ekho v2 migration to Ekho Cloud

Description of the initiative

After Eschbach's MVPs in Jan 2023 deemed not successful, SpP identified additional needs for OEE not compatible with the usage of Eschbach as an OEE solution.

As a result, request for another tool to replace their Ekho v2 current OEE (going out of support end of 2023 for Microsoft Silverlight oos related issues) was forwarded to DT.

Business provided an estimation of OEE loss, if not monitored, of 1% at a cost of 2.9 M$ per single line.

Preliminary budget (non negotiated) estimation covers migration for all the sites done by Ekhosoft at 400€/line/month+25€/line/month for data structuration in Star Tek PI-EF calculations. Services implementations are around 200 k€+/-50k€ for all lines. 

The Ekho cloud solution will be a SaaS solution with internal landing zone. Cost for infra are at the moment not estimated.

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Do

  • Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI

Don´t

  • Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear
  • Write portfolio epics, epics and user stories
  • Identify squad resources

First, let´s start with the Problem space

1.1. Reason

* Why is this initiative proposed today?

After Eschbach's MVPs in Jan 2023 deemed not successful, SpP identified additional needs for OEE not compatible with the usage of Eschbach as an OEE solution.

As a result, request for another tool to replace their Ekho v2 current OEE (going out of support end of 2023 for Microsoft Silverlight oos related issues) was forwarded to DT.

Business provided an estimation of OEE loss, if not monitored, of 1% at a cost of 2.9 M$ per single line.

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

Performance Monitoring in Ekho SaaS


What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?

Ekho v2 

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

SpeP plants, from Operator to Plant Manager


What is the number of users impacted?

9 sites in 2023, 4 in 2024


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

By not  measuring properly the OEE, it will decrease. Assuming a conservative 1% OEE decrease, here is the impact for one production line PVDF in Tavaux :

CM=20€/kg. Current 0EE ~ 81%, Average monthly production ~ 1200 TO.

Monthly loss of CM ~ 20 €/kg * 1200 000 kg * 1% = 240 k€/M = 2,9 M€/year for Tavaux PVDF only

1.5. Business goals

How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?

Ekho is already used as standard Performance Management product for SpeP

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

Integration between the Ekho Cloud (SaaS) and PI EF cannot be done directly. A jumpserver to manage access and authentication to the data needs to be deployed in the SCo landing zone

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

Deployment of the tool in all plant location and measurement of OEE improvement after 1 year. 

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template and contact the SIP team in order to get your corresponding folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the initiative card tab and  to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" tab. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com

1.9- Involvement of Data Domains

If your initiative is working with data, please select the domain which is impacted:

  • Marketing & Sales (for examples: Customer & Market segment / Price conditions & CMIR)
  • Supply Chain Management (for examples: Routes & Rates)
  • Procurement (for examples: Master data: Vendors, Contracts, Material (Group)/ Reference Data: Payment terms, Structures)
  • Finance (for examples: Management (MAC)/ Financial (FAC)/ Treasury)
  • HR (for examples: HR Master Data (Employee, Personal, Identity))
  • Industrial (for examples: BOM, Asset Hierarchy, MES Tag, Process Batch)
  • R&I (for examples: Products, Equipments/ Projects)
  • Structures & shared referential (for examples: Structures/ Shared referential data/ Finished goods)
  • Sustainability

1.12. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)

Do you think your initiative will best cope with a waterfall or agile methodology?

  • Full Agile 
  • Waterfall 
  • Partly Agile (mix of both)
  • I do not know at this stage

If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI

Phase 2: Strategize


Do

  • Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
  • Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the bief
  • Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
  • Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measureable, Archievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
  • Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives

Don´t

  • Identify squad resources (naming)
  • Write user stories


Now, we can move on to the Solution space

2.2. Users needs

What do users dislike about the current solution?

Applicable when a new solution is developed



What tools or features do your users wish to have?



What value will it add to the user´s lives?



What alternative do we have?


2.3. Overall Service Delivery Management for a project

A standardised process for creating and introducing services. It may sound basic, but Service Design and Introduction should be considered at the very beginning of the project.

  • Moving through the various project stages from Envision, strategize (requirements gathering) to planning, delivering value and testing before deploying the service. 
  • Embedding service introduction activities into project delivery, with defined success criteria at each stage avoids a re-work which can negatively impact the project in terms of time, cost and quality.


Who is the service owner?


What is the target?


Which platform will maintain the new service?


2.4. Risk Analysis

What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?


2.5. Solvay One Planet Objectives

What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?

- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability?

- Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ?

- Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much?
