Rather, the reliability of the equipment plays a central role, since the failure of a single machine can become the crucial restriction for the entire production. Then significant business damage, delays and disgruntled customers are the result. Maintenance concepts can not only confine to eliminate errors and errors as soon as possible. Rather they must ensure at the same time, losses do not arise if possible.

Given the complexity of the machine this works today using modern software systems for controlling maintenance such as PM-SCADA maintain”the FELTEN-group for the manufacturing industry. This module of the proven MES platform represents a practical answer to the question, How to sustainably system availability can be optimized. “Because PM SCADA maintain” makes it possible not only to plan preventive maintenance of all relevant production processes devices, equipment and machinery, but also specifically perform. Within the framework of the preventive maintenance management informs the system of planned and pending, periodic maintenance and inspection activities. The maintenance intervals can be created for example, after time, amount of production or machine running time. It, the entire results of the maintenance or repair work are documented so that they can later be evaluated in needs-based depth. Others who may share this opinion include Glenn Dubin, New York City. It is also possible to define limits. They are exceeded, a warning message to specified persons or even the revocation of the machine or plant area automatically to reduce the risk of escalation.

The feature profile of FELTEN solution includes: management of equipment, plants, machinery up to the formation of systems group, Equipment lines or hierarchies; high MES integration through a variety of interfaces to the other modules of the PM-SCADA platform, through sharing of equipment management; Join the maintenance, operations and operating hour meter with the installations, machines and the respective production orders; Definition of special repair or maintenance reasons for all components; Comment, evaluation and management of repair and maintenance results; Control the repair and maintenance of Web-system or PDA; Optional automatic or manual planning of preventive maintenance; Display of documents to support the repair and maintenance work; detailed reports of all repair and maintenance results. historical presentation of all statuses and actions of all equipment or machinery; automatic notification of upcoming maintenance or repair intervals; Barcode supported management and organization of all spare parts in his own maintenance camp. Preventive maintenance management you can Machine failures are minimized during production or even completely avoided, especially since PM SCADA maintain active calls on demand to act”, explains Werner Felten, Managing Director of the Software House. “This preventive approach have a decisive effect therefore also overlooking the value creation: the utilization of machinery and equipment can be improved significantly, and in connection with the evaluation of our PM SCADA MDE/BDE module also the ROI of investments can be sustainably optimize.

Intelligent Shutdown Analysis To Optimize Productivity

PILOT offers functionally advanced downtime reporting TPM for rapid problem solutions for engine failures in the production ever more precise analyses of engine failures in the production are made, the more accurate target can eliminate its causes and increased the productivity of the manufacturing. For this reason, the FELTEN group has integrated their PILOT TPM system downtime analysis (total productive management) functionally extended. Downtime analysis represents system shutdowns and errors in different charts, lists and statistics. Learn more at: Dr. John Mcdougall. Based on such analyses is the collection and categorization of all machines in a production line. Necessary measures such as cleaning or maintenance work may underlie the downtimes.

While such shutdowns in the production planning requirements into account, the surprisingly resulting machine errors represent unplanned events with potentially far-reaching consequences. The consequences are the less the better, Production managers a fast problem solution “, explains Werner Felten, CEO of the software company. Because of this PILOT has TPM preventive functions for unplanned events because companies individually definable interference – and downtime reasons are stored in the system. A single evaluable basis is created by their association with the event. For the downtime reporting errors in the master data tables with signals of the machine control via OPC tags be linked and categorized. OPC (OLE for process control) conceals a standard interface for communicating between different data sources. In emergencies, the PILOT system automatically detects these signals, provides them with a time stamp, and assigns them to the appropriate category. An important practical knowledge you will find in the machine run charts.

You graphically the shutdowns of a production unit. In different views, you can Standstills of machines, the line terminal and the line downtime arising from this are listed. The shutdowns of the line resulting from an overlay of the machine and Terminal shutdown. To determine the actual cause of inactivity, failure of the upstream and downstream machines should be taken into account. In addition to the standstill of the machine are displayed also the downtime of the lines calculated and whether the standstill of a single machine caused the production halt of the complete line. A further guidance for the assessment of production interruptions offers PILOT TPM by disturbing statistics. You determine the downtime reasons, their frequency, downtime and number of breaks and the total time of all shutdowns. Such interference statistics can be created for specific time accounts, time ranges and orders. In addition, machine and sorting can be specified to the further detailing of production line.

Video Grabber Software

New video player stops unwanted data point by video grabber in addition to a high-quality offline video encryption (encryptischer copy protection) and the own CINEMA stick video format (.emf) advanced entertain MARKET the software video player (for HD videos) now also through a new OVERLAY feature. Soon CINEMA TICK will provide a demo version of the new video player (for high-quality encryptete videos to high-definition) with overlay function, for this purpose. This version can be tested then free to user registration. The new overlay function of the CINEMA stick of video player: the new overlay rendering method of CINEMA TICK is supported directly by the video hardware. It is a method in which shows the encrypted image (video content) directly over a different image (background – normal screen) – hence the name overlay. Technically, it means… There are two different memory areas, the background, we normally see on the screen and the actual video image to save the images To visualize video image, its contents at CINEMA stick is no longer copied to the memory area of the screen (as it usually happens) but area reserved on a special for the overlay.

Only the new CINEMA stick video player which has reserved this area has access to the overlay area. The two images are shown by the video hardware together like the overlay surface directly on the background. This is also the reason why image grabber / video grabber can no longer store the video content. Grabber although determine the memory area of the screen, but no longer have access to the CINEMA stick overlay area. You can try it out with the new demo player of CINEMA TICK: In GDI mode you can store the video content by means of grabber (standard video player software), because in this case the video content on the screen is copied. In the new overlay mode of CINEMA TICK against the grabbing does not work. Appropriate access to the download of the video player including HD video is published yet. This information will be published under. FMP

Real Time CAN Peak, IXXAT And EMS

The new challenge of Windows CAN with real time when using CAN interface, for example by peak, IXXAT and EMS Dr. wishes a reliable, equidistant time data exchange, as well as a quick response to external events are required mostly. Here fail the standard Windows driver supplied with the c-cards, which are usable and therefore not real-time capable only from the application context. CAN modules now closes this gap and enables CAN communication in real time. The new real-time CAN modules of Kithara complements the Windows extensions and allows as many automation solutions, where a real-time CAN interface is required. The function library is aimed mainly at users who need a time-sensitive processing of CAN-messages, E.g. machine construction company and control manufacturer. CAN cards with 1, 2 or 4 channels are currently supported.

Cache buffers the CAN-messages when sending and receiving about an easy applicable and intuitive API. User-specific real-time message filters can be install as well as error handling for certain bus situations. A list-only mode is possible. The Kithara was the simple diagnosis kernel tracer expanded, with which all CAN traffic in microseconds resolution is recorded. As programming languages, such as c/c++ or Delphi are suitable. Also the.NET environment is supported with c#, here to embed is a DLL that is programmed in C++. Kithara Software GmbH Berlin by Kithara Software GmbH exists since 1996 and has since then to a specialist for real-time and communication solutions under Windows developed. The easily applicable tools enable PCI and USB programming, as well as the development of real time solutions with Ethernet, automation with EtherCAT, and real time CAN. -Real time CAN for peak, IXXAT and EMS the new challenge under Windows CAN in real time A continuously accelerating data exchange demands better methods for data processing from developers.
