Machine monitoring is a broad term that means different things to different people. We have over 30 years expertise in applying software solutions to machine monitoring applications and we will be pleased to discuss your requirement whatever it is.

Paperless Manufacturing

Removing paperwork and transitioning to full paperless manufacturing is a goal for many companies and a crucial step towards digitalisation, the smart factory and Industry 4.0. Every organisation will be at a different stage in this ‘journey’ but there are some common elements.

Organisations collect data, whether it is operational or regulatory, not for the data itself but for the information the data can provide. Whether data is collected and stored to paper or transcribed to software the following problems are suffered:

• Inaccuracy
• Cost
• Lack of Visibility
• Data islands

OEE Monitoring & Improvement

Many of the worlds leading manufacturers have turned to OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness - as a key performance indicator in the pursuit of maximum production efficiency and operational excellence. Yet for many OEE has failed to deliver the promised benefits. Why...

All too often the very collection of performance data is the root cause of this failure.

Manual OEE data collection increases administration costs and introduces data inaccuracies. This results in poor quality information or it could be delivered too late to be of maximum benefit. It also costs staff time when they could be doing more value added work. (Try a simple calculation of the cost based on time taken and average salary - you might be shocked how much it is costing per year)

Machine Downtime Reduction

Manufacturing operations are crucial components of many industries, including automotive, aerospace and consumer goods. However, unexpected downtime can disrupt production, resulting in significant financial losses, decreased product quality, missed delivery deadlines and increased maintenance and repair expenses.

To combat these issues, companies must focus on minimising unexpected downtime through proactive maintenance and monitoring.

Visual Factory Management

PlantRun’s visual factory management tools help enhance process visibility. By using visual cues and aids, factories can improve oversight and efficiency in production areas. PlantRun provides real-time insights and interactive displays that boost communication, productivity, and workplace safety.

Automatic Test Sequence

Prodigy provides automatic test sequences that aids the production process by allowing events to be reproduced every time and the creation of new tests to be simplified. Automatic test sequence can be used to perform multivariable profile control through a wide range of industrial applications.

By automating the testing process, we enable manufacturers to streamline operations, minimise human error and achieve consistent quality control.

Our tailored systems can be customised to meet specific product requirements and integrate seamlessly with existing production lines. With a focus on innovation and excellence, we empower companies to deliver high-quality products while optimising their end-of-line testing processes for maximum efficiency.

Process Control & Automation

Prodigy SCADA is a system that can monitor and control industrial processes from a centralised location. Data from these processes can be collected in real-time from sensors and devices within your operations. Prodigy SCADA can be used in a multitude of ways spanning from your process monitoring to end of line testing or even providing you with the control capabilities you need in your processes.

To further support your system in your operations, we have a dedicated UK based team of engineers and programmers meaning you have access to real-time support from experts who understand the Prodigy system.

Proof of Process Reports

Prodigy provides operations proof of process reports for products before their release due to regulations affecting certain industries such as food, aerospace and pharmaceutical.

Prodigy's reports can combine alarm histories with batch details and any number of processes into a trend on a single page reports, expressing a permanent record for the industry, with easy configurability and full control over the report layout.

Downtime Monitoring

Downtime can be detrimental to any process without correct preparation and monitoring controls. Prodigy can show an entire production area in a single view, using things like colour coding to indicate errors on certain machinery whether it be a mechanical issue or an error involving not hitting a production target.

Prodigy can provide you with the information on what the error is and the reason for the loss of production. Alarms can be implemented to alert when errors are detected to immediately alert your staff for that rapid response to ensure operations are resumed as quickly as possible.

Batch & Recipe Handling

Recipe and batch handling are standard requirements in many industries and applications. Prodigy includes comprehensive support for batch and recipe handling.

This includes recipe storage, automatic form filling, automatic batch creation and monitoring and proof of process reporting.

Recipe data is a collection of control setpoints that define the parameters required to make a specific product or to control a specific process. Prodigy allows any number of such recipes to be created and called up via user defined forms.

Alarm Management System

PAMS is a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) product that is designed to provide centralised monitoring of the alarm status of a variety of ground based electronic equipment and systems used around an airfield, ranging from communications and navigation equipment, to power supplies and meteorological devices.

In the event of an operational system developing a fault, an alarm condition is triggered on the PAMS Site System and this is displayed at one or more locations. All alarm statuses are available to engineering and typically a defined, more critical subset is made available to Air Traffic Control (ATC) operators. This allows minor alerts and degraded states to be acted upon by engineering staff without impacting on the ATC operations.

Remote Tower Alarm

PAMS Group Alarm Server enables safe and secure management of alarm systems from several remote airports at a central remote tower.

This minimises the need for remote sites to be fully manned when there is no air traffic and cost savings from reduced manning requirements for both ATC and engineering.

Commercial Airfield Systems Monitoring

PAMS is used in a range of commercial airports to optimise alarm management and enhance operational safety.

Sitting at the heart of many airports, PAMS monitors the status of everything from radios and ILS, to the fibre network infrastructure. In the event of an issue, the usual reporting through PAMS Workstations and optional beacons is expanded to include the Saab Digital Tower system - allowing airports to maximise their capacity.
