State of production and workflow management
Monitoring—production visualization—is primarily used on large-screen displays located directly on the production floor. It provides a quick and clear overview of production, displaying the current status of production equipment and work in progress.
Visualization provides timely and clear information to workers moving in the production hall without having to log in to MES PHARIS.
The Production Monitoring module also includes a user editor that allows customers to customize the appearance of screens with any content. Dynamic objects on the visualization screen also support workflow management, particularly in the areas of quality, internal logistics, and maintenance.
Information on visualisation screens
Visualisation screens in production halls typically display:
- work in progress,
- production delay,
- current waste rate,
- time until the end of the production operation,
- profession’s call to the workplace,
- machine status,
- the tool used,
- operator registered for production,
- technological parameters from machines such as cycle, temperature, pressure, pillow size, etc.
The Production Monitoring module works closely with the Alarms and Escalation System module and the KPIs—Key Production Indicators and Reports—module.
Access to screens via thin client
The visualization screen is a dynamic web page and is therefore accessible from any computer or mobile phone.
Large-screen displays are primarily installed in production halls, assembly areas, control rooms, foremen’s offices, and similar locations.
User screen editor
MES PHARIS allows users to define and edit the appearance of visualization screens.
The integrated screen editor provides a range of predefined objects and their attributes, which display current data from the system database.
MES PHARIS supports the creation of any number and type of screens, which are selected based on the context of the large-screen display’s location on the production floor.
Lean manufacturing, ANDON
Using visualization screens, it is easy to implement an Andon system to adhere to lean manufacturing principles.
For optimal use, we recommend integrating the Andon system with the Alarm System module.
