Pilot installations are available & are often a preferred first approach to minimize costs & gain ROI results.

 

Equipment surveys & ROI calculations can be provided by a visit from our application team.

 

 

Manufacturing Operation Data Systems

We provide Microsoft Windows based, user configured manufacturing operation data systems. This refers to the collection, pre-storage, retrieval and presentation of various production information from one or a set of manufacturing processes. MODS can include planned resource data, current production data, and historical data.

 

 

Real-Time Production Data

Real-time production data is collected by connecting I/O and data to a server. The data server analyzes & displays collected data through an operator interface client. This allows the users to see the current state of the control system and to interact as necessary. The data server program can also monitor various data points such as temperatures, rates, time, and other inputs while notifying the operator if the data goes out of the prescribed range.

 

Historical Data Collection

While a manufacturing data system is displaying real-time data and alarm conditions, it can also record this data to a database in several formats including text files, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and various other formats. Historical data can be displayed on a monitor, in printed reports, via e-mail, or in web pages.

 

Automated Alarming Notification

This innovative method notifies the user when specific events occur in the operation. This includes but is not limited to levels, production rates, machine status, reject limits, etc. Notification can be received by phone, pager or e-mail. For example, automated alarming notification can send inventory levels to suppliers on a preset schedule by reading the available data, calculating the amounts of its product, and issuing an allocation request report.

 

Web-Based Systems

Web-based systems are ideal for the user who manages an enterprise rather than a single location. By linking a web browser to the machine control system, a user can monitor the entire network from a remote PC via a standard web browser.

 

Remote Access Capability

Remote access capability gives users the freedom to have database access or to view the status of machines on the plant floor. Remote access allows 24/7 - 365 access from across the hall or around the world!
