Sepasoft MES Module Suite
Production Data Collection defined in ISA-95
'...the collection of activities that gather, compile and manage production data for specific work processes or specific production requests. Manufacturing control systems generally deal with process information such as quantities (weight, units, etc.) and associated properties (rates, temperatures, etc.) and with equipment information such as controller, sensor, and actuator statuses. The managed data may include sensor readings, equipment states, event data, operator-entered data, transaction data, operator actions, messages, calculation results from models, and other data of importance in the making of a product. The data collection is inherently time or event based, with time or event data added to give context to the collected information.'
Sepasoft Modules for Data Collection
The Sepasoft MES solution provides the OEE Downtime and Track & Trace modules that can be used to build your production data collection system, in conjunction with the Settings & Changeover, SPC, Instrument Interface, Barcode Scanner and Web Services modules, as well as the Ignition historian for associated properties.
- Track & Trace Module
The Track & Trace module can be used for production data collection on any type of operation providing lot tracking, WIP inventory, raw material consumption, order fulfillment and any other data values logged during operation execution.
- OEE Downtime Module
The OEE Downtime Module can also be used for production data collection on OEE production runs providing OEE metrics, order fulfillment, schedule adherence and any other data values logged during operation execution.
- Settings & Changeover Module
The Settings & Changeover Module provides recipe and actual machine setpoints including variance for an operation. This data can be coupled with the operational data from Track & Trace and OEE Downtime to provide insight into the machine settings and recipe parameters used during an operation.
- SPC Module
The SPC module provides real-time statistical analysis of process and production variables during an operation. This data can be coupled with the operational data from Track & Trace and OEE Downtime to provide insight on the stability of process variables during an operation.
- Instrument Interface Module
The Instrument Interface modules provide a means of pulling data out of inspection equipment and process cells that can provide a flat file or rs-232 communication source for passing information to other systems.
- Barcode Scanner Module
The barcode scanner module provides a method for simplifying data entry from operators scanning incoming material lot ids, tool dies sets and other information from a barcode.
- Web Services Module
The Web Services module allows you to connect your MES to any other information system or data source that provides a SOAP or RESTful API. Any data you wish to store during a production operation can be pulled from another system using this interface and stored along with the production run information.
