In booth #45755 at FABTECH 2019, Marposs is demonstrating its own MES FactoryNET® software suite designed to provide a powerful interface between machine, operator, production and resource planning and higher-level ERP systems. Unlike other data acquisition systems, FactoryNET 4.0 enables end-to-end documentation of the machine processes due to its connection directly with process monitoring. This connection delivers knowledge that can be used to reduce set-up and downtime, optimize lead times, and enhance machine utilization.
Systems without process monitoring like automatic sorters, hardening furnaces or packaging machines can also be included in the data acquisition and integrated in the FactoryNET 4.0 information loop. The T1 terminal can be connected to the FactoryNET 4.0 by network interface. Real-time data from all the connected machines are automatically collected and delivered, providing information on production cycles, processes, and quality as well as resources available and required. This interconnectivity helps to optimize production flow from preventative maintenance, process stabilization, and quality assurance to resource planning. Production costs and quality are always transparent and traceable through the statistical recording and evaluation of performance indicators.
Although increased productivity, lower cost and improved quality are obvious benefits of FactoryNET, this interconnectivity and data flow supports the move toward the Industrial Internet of Things (iIoT) and Industry 4.0.
