A&D: Transparency from the machine to the corporate management
level
|
With Simatic Plant
Intelligence, Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) connects the
Scada level with the MES level and thus creates an integrated and
scalable solution from the machine right up to the corporate
management level. Simatic Plant Intelligence allows users to call up
the most important plant information in real time and control
production equipment more quickly. This enables them to reduce costs
and increase productivity for the company.
The integrated data management of Simatic Plant Intelligence creates
greater transparency in production and offers efficient acquisition,
evaluation, distribution and archiving of production data. In the
entry-level version, Plant Intelligence is available on the basis of
the Simatic WinCC process visualization system, and in the more
advanced versions, on the basis of the Simatic IT MES range.
As before, users can first add Plant Intelligence to their existing
Scada solutions with Simatic WinCC. The options WinCC offers here
include WinCC/DataMonitor for Web-based analysis, as well as the
WinCC/DowntimeMonitor and WinCC/ProcessMonitor expansions for
process optimization and quality analysis. The monitor options are
used for the display and plant-oriented analysis of, for example,
plant efficiency or standstill times. Users can extend this plant
transparency with additional expansions at the MES or corporate
management level. This enables Simatic IT to relate and analyze
parameters like key performance indicators across several plants,
and thus also to evaluate production data like orders, genealogy and
batch data.
