Applications that connect the levels of industrial automation: machine control, process supervision, operational production management and business planning. Developed for steel and aluminium metallurgy and applicable in other process industries.
Communication with PLCs and shop-floor devices via OPC or the vendors' direct protocols, for example Siemens, Allen-Bradley or Omron. The collected signals become the foundation for supervision and for all higher system levels.
Process visualisation on operator stations and in the web browser, recipe management, production sequencing and integration with mathematical process models. Line and downtime tracking give the operator a clear overview.
MES functions such as production and material requirements planning, order execution tracking, shift management, quality control and maintenance. They can be introduced as a whole or complement an existing MES.
Data exchange with the ERP and planning systems such as SAP, Quintiq or Keops via the available interfaces. Orders go down to the shop floor, and execution, consumption and quality return to the business system.
Key capabilities of the applications for managing and supervising production processes.
HMI/SCADA line views, alarms and events, available on operator stations and as cross-platform or web access.
Management of recipes and process parameters per product, with versions, approval and download to the line.
Order sequence on the line by material, tooling and deadlines, with real-time execution tracking.
Linking process models with shop-floor measurements to calculate setpoints and verify results.
Quality control and maintenance records linked to the order, machine and shift.
Two-way exchange of orders, execution, stock and consumption with SAP, Quintiq, Keops or another system via documented interfaces.
Technologies and integrations: OPC · Siemens · Allen-Bradley · Omron · mySCADA · QuickHMI · Blazor · React JS · Avalonia UI · Uno Platform · Microsoft SQL Server · SAP · Quintiq · Keops
Yes. The applications can integrate with existing systems and take over only the functions that are missing. The integration method depends on the available interfaces and documentation.
Go-live is planned on site, remotely or as a combination, depending on technical conditions and the agreement. Experience includes international industrial projects.
Describe the existing automation, the levels you want to connect and the business systems that need to exchange data.
