The main task of the system is the monitoring of more than 40 production machines (production, idle time, number of produced pieces/defective pieces, production cycle, etc.), monitoring the fulfilment of individual job orders, preparing a production plan for the specific period (14 days) and generating production reports.
 
The assets of the information system
- Immediate review of the job order stages and fulfilment of the production plans.
- Improving the quality of the production process and the option of documenting it (minimizing the human factor effects, i.e. defective inputs).
- Punctual indication of faults of the production machines.
- Simple evaluation of the time chart.
Implemented applications
- Planner application.
- Production machine application.
- Reporting application.
Basic function of the implemented applications:
Planner application
- The application enables to place the production order in the time plan (Gantt chart), including:
- transferring orders in time
- increasing the number of orders
- monitoring the fulfilment process
- displaying the job order detail (production time, idle time, produced pieces, suspicious pieces)
- planning the shut-down for individual machines including weekends and bank holidays
- Calculation of the job order duration on the basis of planned pieces and cycles.
- Displaying the process of fulfilling the job orders, i.e.:
- detail monitoring of the job order fulfilment (batches)
- listing of events related to individual batches
- listing of events related to individual machines
- graphic display of the job order process
  
Production machine application
- Automatically collects information from the production machine (in the form of digital outputs).
- Information such as machine number, machine condition, part number, planned production date, remaining parts, replacement period, last inspection, efficiency per products,etc. is displayed to the operators.
- It enables to enter the grounds for idle times and gain the inspection records.
  
Reporting application
- Production reports are processed by means of MS Reporting services technology.
- The production reports are available on any network station with installed web browser (Internet Explorer 5.+).
- The reports can be exported to MS Excel or to PDF, TIFF, BMP and XML formats.
  
Technical solution scheme
Applied software / hardware elements
- Data collection from the production lines is resolved by means of OPC communication and newly installed programnable automats Fatek of FBs line - total of 40 pieces
- Automat Fatek collects information from the production machine regarding the number of produced pieces (good and defective)
- Automat Fatek collects the production line status signals from the production machine (start/end of replacement/production, switching off, cycle period)
- Each computer at each production machine includes the installation of our OPC server Fatek.
- Fitting the standard OPC servers:
- The main applied database is the MS SQL
- Application developed on MS.NET platform
- Implemented dialog for receiving data from the existing ERP system and the attendance system
- The report is created by means of Microsoft reporting services
- The application is accessible by means of the web interface with web browser (IE 5.+)
- Security and the user rights are provided by means of user log in the system by means of his/her own chip card (the same chip card each employee has received for the implemented attendance system)
