Creating digital twins of value streams for production
Value stream analysis is a proven tool for optimising production processes in businesses. Particularly in terms of increased manufacturing efficiency and waste reduction, it is a valuable lever for identifying weaknesses and improvement potential.
Value stream mapping at the touch of a button
Feedback data from production-related IT systems (e.g., MES, PDA, PPS, IIoT) can be seamlessly transferred into a digital value stream twin without manual mapping.
Comprehensive process capture
Value stream mapping captures and analyses all aspects of the process, including material and organisational efficiency, and equipment effectiveness.
Sustainable value stream optimisation
AI-powered value stream analysis exposes weaknesses and waste in your value streams. Our industry experts assess the overall picture and provide specific recommendations for optimising your production processes.
State-of-the-art technology
To provide in-depth insights into processes, IQ|A utilises machine learning algorithms specifically designed for production processes. Additionally, automatic analyses and the expertise of our lean production experts contribute to the process evaluation.
In a three-month lighthouse project, our process experts use value stream analysis software to scrutinise a selected production segment and derive potential improvement measures. Subsequently, you can permanently integrate ONIQ into your company and generate value stream twins for production.
Our PwC experts assist you in setting up the lighthouse operation. Initially, historical process data from your existing system is prepared by ONIQ and integrated into the value stream analysis software.

The value stream analysis software maps value streams in discrete manufacturing, assembly, and intralogistics. It allows for the end-to-end reconstruction and representation of even complex production processes (e.g., anonymous or multi-stage manufacturing) with a single click.
The value streams are reconstructed by the value stream analysis software based on feedback from order and material flow capture (e.g., MDE/PDA). Once the source data is integrated into the software, the representation of value streams is automated with a single click, eliminating the need for previously manual processes.
The digital value stream twin is typically ready for use in a few days and subsequently updates automatically. The extraction, preparation, and integration of source data also require only a few days of effort.
It is possible to depict all company-wide existing value streams in the software. A value stream is presented in a navigable process graph and can be comprehensively analysed in various dimensions, such as bottlenecks, waiting stocks, cycle times, setup changes, and defect quantities.
The value stream twin enables holistic optimisation of production processes. Using the digital value stream tool, various business functions can analyse potential improvements and make concrete decisions based on a unified data basis. Utilising areas include factory and production management, production planning and preparation, lean and process excellence, and quality management.
