Data Collection

Collection of real plant data is a vital step in managing a modern manufacturing organization. Whether data is collected for use in internal monitoring and process improvement or if it's required by your customers, a link to floor equipment is a must. We provide solutions that give you accurate data from the same sources that dictate decisions within your process: from your production equipment. Since this collection can be done automatically, operators are not burdened to gather, input, and/or transcribe data to your repository. Information is available immediately so problems can be identified and corrected when a problem exists, not when it is realized after a full day of incorrect production. Typical activities in this project area include:

Automated collection of process data via direct interface to factory floor control equipment: single station or plant-wide.
Standard collection tools including HMI tools, Visual Basic, VBA, MS Access, and more. Storage to MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access or any ODBC compliant database.
Save and search records by operator, date, batch ID, customer ID, and more.
Retrieval systems that allow for supplemental entry fields connected to automatically collected information.
Network infrastructure development for plant-wide collection systems.
