’s most important real time analysis tool is the
“PlantView”. In this color-coded layout of the plant, the
machines are displayed in a number of colors, each color
indicating a certain machine status or alarm condition.
The user selects the type of information to be displayed
and user definable “filter sets” display only these ma-
chines which match a certain condition, for example all
machines with OEE below 85%, machines producing too
much scrap, …
A “mouse click” on a specific machine or group of ma-
chines opens a window with detailed information for the
selected machines.
Reporting
All data is stored in an Oracle relational database. By
means of a powerful report and formula generator, us-
ers can define and configure their own calculations and
reports.
Integrated graphics allow managers to build their own
personalized “dashboards’ for a quick and transparent
analysis and evaluation of all Key Performance Indica-
tors (KPI).
With the “multi-site consolidation” module, managers
can compare KPI’s and processes between sites, al-
lowing operations to learn and optimize from the best
performers.
Auto flagging & messaging
The “auto flagging” software continuously compares
selected parameters or KPI’s with pre-defined exception
limits.
As soon as an “alarm condition” is detected, this module
triggers one or more actions: an e-mail message is sent
to selected people or the alarm is transmitted to the ma-
chine, where a lamp can be activated and a message for
the operator is displayed on the Data Unit screen.
