 The
principles of lean manufacturing created by the Japanese have
become so widespread chances are you’ve heard something
about them or are involved in some form of it. The idea is that
one can divide their workforce into distinct processes or work
cells that can be easily monitored. Companies with active Lean
Manufacturing programs understand the need to map and measure
every stage of their "Value Stream" for each product
with the objective of eliminating waste from every process.

In
today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment,
companies that will thrive are those that implement some form
of continuous improvement program. Visual Workplace solutions
have played a key role in improved productivity and cost savings
by displaying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Harvest real-time KPI data points from your OPC or ODBC* servers
easily with this turn-key, software solution. KPIworks™
software from ENTECH, allows you to connect to various inputs:
database fields, relays, photo cells, status values, process
sensors… Monitored Key Performance Indicators combined
with your custom-set parameters will optimally format and visually
display the desired information – automatically. Benefits
can include: trends being caught and corrected, reduced
time between line changes, proactive front office action, maintained
parts inventories, and swift
response to line errors or equipment bottlenecks to maximize
uptime.
Easy to install and configure, KPIworks gets your real-time
production data to ENTECH Andon boards, marquees and other plant
floor displays in a fraction of the time of other integration
options. This translates into production efficiencies. And,
with no custom code to maintain, this scalable software is economical,
easy to install and configure, and fast to learn
.
Tested, proven, robust and well supported. KPIworks has been
proven in some of the largest and most complex manufacturing
facilities. It can provide broad stroke information or can be
configured to provide more detailed production statistics. But
its real strength is its ease of use and flexibility. Robust
and well supported, KPIworks can help you achieve your Continuous
Improvement goals by making a Visual Workplace solution an easy
and economical step into the future. Call
ENTECH to learn more about this exciting new software.
Seamlessly harnessing the power of data, visually displayed,
to drive productivity. |

By
integrating LED displays into a real-time warehouse management
system anyone can walk into a warehouse environment and visually
see order status, priorities, and many other relevant productivity
measurements. Improvements in order fulfillment accuracy and
material flow efficiencies can be obtained. Five critical areas
where LED displays can be used are inventory management, storage,
receiving, picking and shipping.
Outside of shipping, displays
can be used to provide concise driver information such as
queuing information, priorities, pickup times, departure times,
wait times, truck directions and any other specific dock door
status. Information is derived from either the dispatcher
or the WMS program based on scheduling, dock availability
and load priorities for each facility. This would replace
the use of a simple dock number or flashing light.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Once
the unloading process starts, the lift truck drivers need to
know what is required to come off of the trucks, where they
need to be stored and the priority of the load. Displays placed
over each receiving door on the inside can provide direction
at a glance as to where the pallet or load must go whether it
is a staging area, another dock for reloading, or a specific
aisle or storage area. Again this data can be driven manually
by the dock manager or via an automated process from the WMS. |

Some
of the tangible and measurable benefits of LED displays integrated
within a warehouse or manufacturing environment are:
• Improved coordination
of orders, parts, priorities and flow.
• Improved inventory accuracy by insuring proper items
are picked.
• Visible tracking of order status, changes, lots and
priorities.
• Improved throughput, work flow and reduction of WIP.
• Improved customer service by communicating order needs
and dock requirements.
• Improved labor resourcing by implementing a smoother
flow process.
• Prioritizing of orders quickly and visibly for all
employees.
• Meet delivery schedule and financial objectives.
• Link material flow with information flow.
• Visibly display any performance measurement information.
• No reliance on white boards, print outs, clip boards
or word of mouth.

Put
Your Data to Work for You
• The AVPC family of LED graphics boards gives you the
tools to improve the productivity of any operation, by providing
your workforce with the live data they need to make decisions.
• AVPC displays plug
into your existing TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP networks, and can
quickly go to work for you with minimal setup.
• Integrating displays into your operation has never
been easier with Windows® 2000 installed inside the display.
All of your existing Windows applications will operate just
like they’re running on a PC, except the display can
be viewed from hundreds of feet away.

Office
and Internet Applications
Rather than e-mailing or printing your graphs and data tables,
post them real-time where everyone can see them. Use Excel®
and its powerful query tools to display live charts and data
or use Explorer® to point at a internet or intranet site
to display live updates. |
|
| |
|
•
Display web pages as easily as you do on your desktop.
|
| |
•
Run Excel on your AVPC to display your critical charts and graphs.

Run
your HMI applications right on the AVPC so the entire shop floor
can see the same screen, at the same time. Running GE Cimplicity®,
RSView®, Wonderware®, Visual Plant®, Iconics®
or other HMI or SCADA applications on the AVPC is as easy as
running them on your desktop computer. Just resize your screen
to match the display size of the AVPC. |
|
| |
•
ANDON display configuration has never been easier or more flexible.
Rather than proprietary protocols, run your existing HMI on
the AVPC to create your ANDON layouts.
|
|
| |
|
•
Display your HMI faults and alarms where everyone sees them
immediately, utilizing the same applications you’ve created
for shop floor operator interfaces. |
| |
•
Live graphical charts created from either Excel or your HMI
generate instant process improvements in any work environment.
