Exploit Plant Floor Data
to Maximize
Operational Equipment Efficiency
RSBizWare™ PlantMetrics™ is a complete,
Windows-based solution for evaluating the performance of critical
production assets in today’s networked and distributed enterprise.
PlantMetrics provides users with a
powerful, yet simple set of tools with which to analyze the performance of
production assets by building on the reporting, analysis, and management
capabilities of the RSBizWare foundation.
Increase output by accurately
measuring the efficiency of your plant equipment
Real-time identification of assets that are
not performing to a standard is critical to maintaining world-class
efficiency. PlantMetrics collects data that measure how well your plant is
running and then provides you with a performance rating, based on the
widely used Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) model, which is a
measure of availability, production rates, and quality.
OEE is just one key performance indicator
that PlantMetrics provides to allow you to evaluate every work cell, line,
area, and plant. You can also define custom events that can be alarms or
fault codes and then create reports based on any of these values.
Identify the real causes of downtime
that prevent
processes from supplying optimum results
A thorough understanding of the details
behind production performance will allow you to identify poorly performing
assets easily. The first step is to look at unplanned downtime on each
machine. With PlantMetrics, you have the ability to create charts to show
your top production faults and analyze the underlying detail to identify
the equipment with the greatest amount of downtime and the reasons that
caused the downtime.
Accurately capture changeover
measurements
and successfully track non-available time
In order to improve changeover times
effectively, you need to know where your problems are. With PlantMetrics,
the actual time spent on changeover in your plant can be analyzed by
looking at the differences between lines, products, and shifts. This
allows you to target the specific improvements that should be made.
Better understand which key
production components
to measure and how to use the results
With PlantMetrics, you have the ability to
isolate each asset so that its rating is not affected by upstream or
downstream performance. PlantMetrics provides the flexibility to custom
design measurements for specific process analyses, as well as the
simplicity to turn masses of confusing production data into useful
information without requiring you to have detailed knowledge of database
technology.
Additionally, PlantMetrics will allow you
to analyze your data and then change the necessary procedures in order to
improve efficiencies during those runs.
