iCAPTURE

Modern production management techniques have introduced major changes in the way production data is processed and analysed. Flexibility in production processes, control and synchronisation of the supply chain, stock optimisation and quality assurance are all relevant aspects of current production management techniques.

Nowadays, advanced production management techniques are based on computer systems, usually called MES. These systems have complex algorithms and processes that help manage production activities. For the correct operation of these applications, it is essential to have Reliable data in “real time”.

Automatic data capture in the plant

For these reasons, it is essential to have an automatic data capture system in the plant that provides all production management systems with the plant data and events as they occur.

iCAPTURE It is the ultimate tool for controlling and optimizing production operations.

Its basic module controls the essential parameters in the processes:

Time

Strikes

Speeds

Productions

By controlling these parameters, production activities can be monitored and related to machines, operators and manufacturing orders.

In addition, the product has three additional modules

Efficiency Module – OEE

This module allows you to calculate the overall OEE efficiency indicator of any production facility, with the advantage that data collection and coding are carried out automatically by the system.

Quality Module

For those processes that require first level quality control (Shop Floor level) this module is prepared to incorporate the quality data associated with production (self-controls, instrument connection, rejects, etc.) later exploitation of the data can be carried out. quality data along with production data.

Traceability module

This module provides complete traceability to production operations, incorporating the tracking of materials in the processes, so all production information (materials, variables) will be available.is the process, machines, operators, etc.) associated with the different production batches.

Logistics module

This module is aimed at the management of internal logistics, its purpose is to optimize resources.

The implementation and use of iCAPTURE brings real and quantifiable benefits to the operational costs of any production process. Here are some of the most important ones:

  • Reduction of the production cycle.
  • Reduction/Elimination of production data encoding times, quality, etc.
  • Reduction of work in progress (WIP).
  • Reduction/Elimination of paper support in operations.
  • Reduction of set-up and loading times (preparations).
  • Improving product quality (reducing defects).
  • Reduction of warehouse transactions.
  • Increase in production capacity (use of equipment).
  • Reduction of intermediate stocks.
