... (Frequently Asked Questions)
There are other companies offering similar solutions apparently, what is innovation that Produktika offers?
Our system is completely open, and does not depend on any platform operating system based on a specific manufacturer or automatons. This allows us to have maximum flexibility and incorporate as appropriate, the necessary resources to provide a good solution and at the same time simple and transparent. In addition, as the information is displayed on a html page, we may include, if necessary, multimedia elements to reinforce the attention of the user or operator. This integration allows great flexibility in using the system in manual processes, semi-automatic and fully automated production lines.
What information can be obtained from a process that is not automated?
By downloading data from the production environment can obtain valuable information on key parameters in the business goals. The intervention was carried out friendly facilities and automatic for the operator, ie at any time there is interference between modules control machinery or working methods in place at the factory. Today there are many possibilities in terms of detectors, sensors and analyzers that allow all sorts capture any data we want to memorize, analyze or control: since counting the number of pieces that go ahead, do inspect products processed through artificial vision systems, or analyze (in the frequency domain) vibrations of certain sensitive items for preventive detection of failures.
What devices are to be attached to existing facilities to capture data?
Just need to 'click' directly some signals, and placing sensors to the tasks that we are interested in measuring and control. It is all it takes to send and process these data via the control unit. Via Modbus, Devicenet, Profibus, or directly by sockets TCP / UDP, data are sent regularly to the central server where it is stored for later analysis.
We only use standardized materials and brands, which ensures a lasting maintainability.
What changes mean in the factory layout?
It is one of the basic principles in the implementation of any project implementation:
Do not under any circumstances interfere with the control elements of the machine, nor restrict their mobility future.
That is why we install additional sensors and automatons, and sending signals to the central server is done via 'wireless'.
Which changes poses in the working methods?
Our system does not require any change in methodology of work. In any case, as a result of the analysis of the information obtained is a decision for plant managers, to determine what changes should be implemented in order to comply with the requirements and objectives of continuous improvement.
