We participated in a project for the Glass industry with one of our clients at their plants in Mexico, the United States, and Europe.
In this real-time process information project, the PI System was used as the Data Infrastructure and visualization tool. The objective was to calculate production indicators evaluated against the scheduling in their SAP system, allowing for the display of:
Efficiencies
Operational Efficiencies
Production Goals
Pieces Produced
Pieces Rejected
Downtime
All of this in Real Time and automatically, without the need for operator or supervisor interaction.
The information can be analyzed by shift, day, or month of operation.
