iProdact - ERP integrated interface of manufacturing facilities

iProdact  (Keywords: ERP, manufacturing facilities, Process manufacturing)

iProdact synchronises manufacturing facilities with ERP systems. The immediate data exchange makes MES systems obsolete. iProdact permits the ERP system to fulfil all classical MES functions.

We claim technological leadership in the integration of manufacturing facilities and ERP Systems. iProdact synchronizes manufacturing facilities and ERP systems using OPC technologies.

The framework we developed consists of an intelligent facility network, abstract data collection, centralised data management and the provision of applications. It is possible to link actuators (motors, agitators), sensors (thermometers, filling-level meters or scales), regulator circuits and steering elements (SPS). Data are buffered for safe transaction. This ensures that a loss of data due to malfunction or breakdown of any part of the system is impossible. Manual operating data can be entered by utilising very basic and therefore inexpensive terminals

Application Examples

• Process data input
• Preventive maintenance of machinery
• Automated alert when limits are exceeded
• Malfunction analyses
• Recording and analyses of energy costs
• Quality control and quality assurance

Benefits

Due to iProdact MES functions are henceforth recognized by ERP systems. This means:

• The end user works only in the ERP system. Analyses are done using the ERP system.
• Expertise is gained through correlation of commercial and technical data.
• Based on this entirely new perception of MES, acquisition and maintenance costs will be kept low compared to classical MES concepts.
• Additional machinery, steering and measuring instruments no longer require programming – only configuration. This translates into lower project risk.

We work for the manufacturing industry:

• Single and batch production
• Series and mass production
• Process manufacturing
• Technical trade
