New Plant Intelligence options for more transparency and planning in the production process
Siemens launches two new Plant Intelligence options for the WinCC Unified system: The Performance Insight and Calendar options extend the WinCC Unified visualization system with functionality for more transparency and structured planning in the production processes.
The new Performance Insight option provides the
user with a formula editor for the calculation of key performance indicators
(KPI's) according to ISO standard 22400 as well as a comprehensive choice of
WinCC Controls for their display and for analysis purposes. The performance,
quality and availability of the production plant can be visualized using a wide
range of different formats such as bar charts, Gantt diagrams and multiline
displays, allowing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) to be calculated.
Plant operators can record the entire production process status, from factory
level down to individual machines, allowing systematic detection of
optimization potential.
The “Calendar” option for the visualization of structured
planning of production processes is now also available in WinCC. This function
is used to define the running times of machines and plants and to create
standard templates for regular production days and shifts. Furthermore, the
calendar function can be used to plan the process execution relative to a
timeline and in this way, for example, the start-up time of a machine before
the begin of a work shift can be considered. Due to the consideration of
operating times, the new “Calendar” option enables a more flexible planning of
production processes and events.
