Project Summary
We developed a comprehensive software solution to accurately record and monitor raw material consumption during production.
The system interfaces seamlessly with the HMI to capture real-time data on material usage, measured in kilograms.
Users can generate customized reports and receive Email also, enhancing oversight and efficiency.
Challenges
The project was necessary to streamline the process of tracking raw material usage, ensuring precise record-keeping for material consumption.
Without an automated system, manual tracking could lead to errors, inefficiency, and lack of oversight in recipe compliance.
A solution was needed to monitor real-time consumption, alert operators to incorrect usage, and maintain audit trails for recipe modifications.
Solutions
- The software reads consumption data directly from the HMI and logs material usage in kilograms.
- It features customizable reporting tools, allowing users to generate reports based on their specific needs.
- The system also automates the generation of consumption reports and sends them via email.
- Additionally, it includes an alarm system to notify operators if the wrong percentages of materials are used based on the defined recipe, and it provides audit information whenever a recipe is modified.
Results
- The system has significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of tracking raw material consumption.
- It enables real-time monitoring, ensuring that operators follow the correct material ratios, and automatically generates reports and alerts as needed.
- The added functionality of audit trails for recipe changes has enhanced accountability and compliance, resulting in better production management and resource optimization.
