The acquisition of Production Progress Data (Production DB) and those related to technological processes (Processes DB) of transformation as well as of raw materials and semi-finished products, provide complete and timely information for their correlated analysis.
Acquisition: connect to any machine, at any scale, without dropping data
The acquisition layer manages every interface, connection and communication with the machines, backed by an extensive library of drivers and interconnection protocols. So whatever PLC, SCADA or line controller you run, it can be brought in. Scalability and continuity are built in, which means the data stream holds up as volumes grow or equipment changes, and configurability runs from the basics right through to bespoke implementations.
Supervision: historian, HMI, real-time reports and energy tracking
The supervision layer historicises process variables so nothing is lost to time, extends cleanly into HMI, supervision and diagnostics functionality, and generates real-time reports directly from the process data. Energy and recipe management sit alongside that, so shop-floor teams can see consumption and configuration in the same place they see production progress.
Production management: live machine state, piece counts and fault coding
For each work order in production, Edge IIoT captures machine status (start/stop), stop and fault codes, so the cause of every line stoppage can be automatically attributed. And a full piece count broken down by total pieces, good pieces, scrap and pieces in re-elaboration. The granularity matters, because that is what makes OEE calculations defensible later.
Process management: the process variables that matter
On the process side, Edge IIoT captures the significant process variables for each production step: temperatures, pressures, speeds, cycle times and whatever else matters for the recipe, giving the MES and analytics layer the full context around every event.
