Plant Level Production Data Acquisition System is an industry 4.0 based Acquisition system. It is an optimally harmonized system of components for the collection, analysis and communication of machine, production, quality, multi servers data collection and working time data. An intelligent function correlates this data and makes it accessible to all decision makers throughout the entire company via MES / ERP.
It provides you visualizations of real – time status/condition of an production line, instant notifications, as well as historical analytics, allowing factory workers to make faster, smarter, more confident decisions based on the real time data.
Production Data acquisition System – Basis for the optimisation of production processes
An increase in efficiency is usually a key requirement when building new production plants or modernising existing ones.
It is essential to optimise production processes, thus increasing productivity while safeguarding product quality. However, the achievement of these goals requires accurate data. Real-time information from the production plant must be available at all times. This is the only way to build a solid basis for all further optimisation measures.
Plant level Production data acquisition system provides the foundation for production optimisation whilst taking product liability and quality assurance into account. The following data is basically acquired:
- Machine and process data (statuses, measured values, meters, etc.)
- Energy data
- Quality-relevant data
- Maintenance-related information (operating cycles, operating times, etc.)
- Manual inputs
To ensure the collected data is available throughout the company for analysis and optimisation purposes, it must be provided in a consistent and standardised fashion, ideally in a process control system. This involves, however, the realisation of specified data structures and standardised interfaces to the individual control units of the machine suppliers.
