The advantages are many. By monitoring your production equipment in real time, you can reduce downtime, plan maintenance more efficiently, increase performance and make better use of your resources. The DIAP platform includes a secure Azure cloud solution for data storage. Furthermore, it consists of 2 software packages that can be used in all types of production environments – Maintenance and OEE.
Maintenance application
The DIAP maintenance application gives you immediate insight into your production. By analyzing and visualizing data in real-time, you will gain detailed insight into your production. Insight that will eliminate guesswork and let you improve production based on real-time facts.
You can easily monitor parameters such as:
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Number of produced / rejected units
• Vibrations
• Power consumption
With this information at hand, you can react to irregularities immediately and optimize your production based on accurate data.
The maintenance application includes several valuable features:
Intuitive dashboard builder that will let you design the look and feel of each single dashboard. You can design dashboards aimed at different user groups, e.g. plant management, maintenance staff and operators. The dashboards will give each user group a clear overview of the current status of the production, enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. The benefits are many – higher output, better product quality, less downtime and reduced costs.
Alarm management that will allow you to set up alarms and send notifications to relevant personnel by e-mail or text message. This will let you react to issues immediately and even avoid errors before they occur. With the DIAP alarm functionality you can:
• Set alarm limits
• Send alarms to relevant persons
• Visualize and document alarms
• Compare alarms
Predictive maintenance that will allow you to predict when mechanical components such as bearings are to be replaced - before they fail. The tool includes:
• A customizable map providing you with a complete overview of recent alarms and exactly where the alarms have occured.
• A list showing the status of your equipment, e.g. by green, yellow and red indications.
• A number of different graphs and diagrams showing e.g. the vibrations of pumps or bearings.
• Data filtering to ensure high-quality data
OEE application
Many manufacturing companies do not utilize the full potential of their production equipment. Stop times and reasons are not recorded consistently and performance and product quality therefore often suffer. The OEE application from DIAP will provide you with a clear picture of how well your equipment is operating.
• How well your production is running (performance)
• Reasons and duration of production stops (availability)
• Total number of accepted and rejected units (quality)
This will let you plan downtime more efficiently, improve product quality and carry out maintenance based on actual performance instead of assumptions or time intervals.
Visualize downtime
In the DIAP OEE application, you can enter the stop reasons relevant to your specific unit or line. By applying the relevant stop reason each time a unit is standing still, you will gain a complete overview of why and for how long your equipment has been stopped.
• Enter unit-specific stop reasons
• Automatically register duration of stops
• Sort views based on order, product or operating shift
Automatic reports
DIAP OEE will give you access to a number of different report types visualizing OEE. You can base your reports on different parameters to perform detailed planning or to target data to selected user groups. Or you can choose to send pre-defined reports automatically to selected users.
• Design reports as you like (bar, graph, diagram etc.)
• Combine data in different ways (based on order, product, period etc.)
• Export or print reports in a number of file formats
The real-time OEE data enables on-the-spot-action, while the detailed historical data makes it possible to determine the long-term areas of improvement.
