PDT in a plant

Workers are not data operators...  Their responsibilities are:   

  • To produce the product,
  • On minimum duration or maximum speed and effectiveness,
  • With maximum quality,
  • To provide solution at faults and stops instead of recording 

Opposite applications cause injury, instead of utility for the plant...

KeyPDT Operator Panel and Data Terminals,  are designed to bidirectional data flow between production line and central point. Detailed automatic data transfer from central point to plant or from plant to central point is applied successfully.

KeyPDT 5.0

On machine basis;

- The job which is running,

- Production amount information collected digitally,

- Worker identification,

- Beginning and finishing times of the actual job,

- Machine run/stop durations,

- Begin and end time of stops, durations and reasons,

can be collected easily.

General schematic of the application

The main idea is to collect as much as data automatically from the plant. Because of this reason, it is assumed to mount a device per production machine to track. With this goal the strongest device for harsh environments, the easiest for application development, the most  flexible to collect different kind of data is produced with minimum cost and price...

Data collected, can provide facility to manage all operations of plant using real information about plant. Real time production planning, machine faults investigations, real time effectiveness (OEE) calculation can be applied easily. The plant can be investigated by a lots of different aspects using detailed data obtained KeyPDT.

Barcode, magnetic card, RFID reader, Barcode printer, RFID printer can be connected to the KeyPDT to get information or to print labels immediately at the production.

Different kind of data can be collected by digital counter inputs ( quantitiy), encoder inputs ( length), serial communication ports (weigh) can be collected automatically. Using digital outputs, operator, technician, worker warnings can be produced easily and safely.

Using LCD panel, or Andon PDT, detailed operator/ technician warnings can be produced easily...
