Monitoring and evaluation of machinery performance of production plant - Danfoss a.s.
Manufacturing info system for
monitoring and evaluation of manufacturing devices (thermostat production) provides:
- Technological data processing: acquisition, validation and archving of technological and manufacturing data, events, variables
- Communication with PLC devices, sensors and meters by standard communication protocols
- Monitoring and evaluation of
manufacturing devices performance and devices parameter setup.
- Evaluation of device utilization and personnel performance in defined time ranges
- Entering manufacturing parameters, receptures and other
- Evaluation of number of manufactured products, device cycle time, etc.
-
Data import from predefined
tables and templates MS Excel
- Ordering system: entering / editing orders, record of order changes,...
- Preparation of analysis, balance, manufacturing plannig data inputs
- Archiving data into
central database MS SQL Server, providing manufacturing history data
-
Automated data export into prepared forms
MS Excel
- Setting of permissions and passwords
Visualization of technological data
Visualization of technology operation is implemented on terminal
PC stations located by the machines ("full" PROMOTIC client) or
Web clients PROMOTIC in enterprise
Intranet network
- Overview screen of main operation statuses in the production hall (layout)
- Screens indicating
online values for
selected machine or group of machines
- Displaying online values for selected machine
- Graphic interpretaion of values progression in time
- Screens for
management and parameter setup of the system (only for a group of selected users)
- Viewing and editing of codelist (product codes, machines, etc.)
- Possibility to add (or delete) new entry into the codelist
- Evaluation screens and reporting
The system provides complete information regarding the manufacturing process and technology operation:
- Central data server keeps database of all technological values, products and system parameters
- Provides optimization of manufacturing processes and helps to decrease the costs in manufacturing enterprise
- Client visualizasion stations (Web clients) on the enterprise intranet are used for comfortable monitoring and parametrization of manufacturing, entering manufacturing projects by operators, production manager, etc.
Ordering system
- Management of
order list to be executed on machines
a. filling in the orders by electronic forms
b. assigning to operators and machines
c. changing order of manufacturing orders or creating new orders / editing orders
- Checking order status
- Writing parameters of the order into the machine (writing parameters into the PLC device)
- Recording manufacturing time and machine shutdowns, total time, sorting by shutdown reason, sorting shutdowns by orders
- Periodical reading and evaluation of manufacturing and technological data from the PLC device:
a. quantity of OK / scrap products
b. operation time / shutdown time
c. assignment of shutdown codes and reasons to machines
Monitoring of materil flow = products
The system provides monitoring of technological material flow in the manufacturing process (product movement)
Evaluation of measured data
The system allows evaluation of measured data from each machine according to:
- product type
- selected time range (shift, day, week, month, year, defined time-range)
- machine number (machine code)
- operator name
In
output reports the technological data is evaluated according to
various criteria and requirements of the operator:
- number of products in pcs: OK or SCRAP
- machine operation / shutdown
- machine shutdown specification
- number of machine shutdowns
- plannes/real utilization of machines according to logges operator (e.g. shift report (8/6, 9)hour)
- in absolute/relative period e.g. for shift report (8/6, 9) hour
- exports into prepared XLS
- measurement of OEE and cycle times for individual modules
- quality measurement reports
automated data filling into prepared Excel forms
Automated export of manufacturing data (e.g. machine shutdown codes) into prepared
output reports in the
MS Excel format.
Individual electronic
forms (hourly records, checking form etc.) have been created for each workstation (PC at the machine).
User system
There are multiple
user types with different access rights defined in the system:
- manufacturing data viewing and evaluation
- production engineer
- system administrator with the possibility to set system parameters
User access to the system is protected by
passwords. The system checks for
operator name logging into the system.
Editing user list (edit, create new, delete) can be done only by authorized personnel.
