Wonderware Performance Software 3.5

Real-Time Equipment Downtime and Performance Tracking

Wonderware Performance Software helps manufacturing companies accurately capture all of the critical equipment performance data they need to improve the performance of their productive assets and drive lean manufacturing initiatives.Using this real-time plant performance information decision makers and operators can help; â–  Reduce capital expenditures by identifying the most productive assets for continued operation â–  Improve asset utilization by identifying production bottlenecks more quickly and increasing supplier accountability â–  Increase the capacity of your existing assets by pinpointing the causes of unplanned downtime and improving operational efficiency Improve Equipment Effectiveness and Grow Your Competitive Advantage â–  Leverage best practices by comparing line-to-line and plant-to-plant performance, including real-time OEE measures The system is highly configurable and can be applied to essentially any manufacturing or process industry. Performance Software uses new ArchestrA The more efficient your production processes are the more competitive you are. Knowing the efficiency or effectiveness of your equipment is vital. Ignoring equipment effectiveness is not a viable option today if you want to keep your competitive advantage.Wonderware Performance Software allows you to track an unlimited number of reasons for equipment downtime and to deploy an unlimited number of Overall Equipment Effectiveness or OEE calculations – one of the most common metrics for tracking equipment efficiency.
® -based event objects to accelerate system configuration and minimize system maintenance – saving valuable time and money. New customizable ArchestrA graphic templates allow you to quickly assemble and deploy highly effective equipment downtime and OEE HMI displays for system operators. Pre-configured web- based reports help take the guess work out of improving plant performance. Minimize Setup and Maintenance Costs with Single Configuration Object The new Utilization Capability Object provides a powerful means to configure your downtime and OEE data collection activities using a single, configurable and highly extensible software object which can be added to your plant model by simple drag and drop commands. This core object can be copied and altered to form a set of monitoring objects tailored to specific types of production equipment then these sets of objects can be copied as a group to quickly build or expand your system with a minimum of effort. Drive More Value From Your Plant Assets Operating your production equipment most productively starts with high quality, real- time plant equipment downtime and efficiency data. Many companies use paper-based methods or nothing at all to track equipment downtime, efficiency, or assess the main reasons for production losses. The Wonderware Performance Software solution integrates with your existing automation system to generate highly accurate and timely views of equipment performance. Short duration events which typically never get recorded using paper systems s appear ranked in order of importance. It is common for short duration events to add up to significant amounts of downtime providing opportunities for improvement. Automated equipment efficiency tracking quickly shows what plant assets are pulling their weight and which ones are not. No more personal opinions or “guesstimates”, just hard data to base decisions on. With this higher level of insight, you and your staff can quickly identify efficiencies and attack problem areas – unlocking more value from your existing plant assets.
