Data capture from the machines
A service on the line reads the data of the die-casting cells and keeps it locally until the server receives it: no event is lost.
MES Foundry · Manufacturing Execution System
The vertical MES for high-pressure die-casting foundries.
Data comes from the machines, not from end-of-shift paperwork. Operators confirm parts, scrap and downtime on the terminal at the machine, the shop floor calls for metal and support from the ANDON screen, and management sees a real OEE, shift by shift.
On premises, in real time, with no cloud lock-in.
From the machineautomatic capture of cycles, alarms and stops, even when the server cannot be reached
At the machinebadge login, buttons configured per machine, labels for packages and pallets
For managementa dashboard you can install on your phone, reachable from outside with two-factor authentication
Features
From the machine shot to the shift summary
Operator terminal
Badge login, with several operators on the same machine if needed. Taking charge of the order, good parts one by one or in batches, scrap and downtime with reason codes read from a barcode.
Order always aligned
If the order set on the machine is not the one taken in charge, the terminal warns the operator and automatic counting stops until the two match.
Shop-floor ANDON screen
Production status, metal calls to the holding furnace, support calls with response and resolution times by role, quality and order progress.
Non-conformities
From opening to decision: use as is, rework, scrap, return or concession, with attachments and a quality dashboard.
Shift reconciliation
The time balance by machine and shift. The shift supervisor corrects quantities and stops, every change is logged, and the shift is confirmed.
An OEE that makes sense
Availability, performance and quality calculated on the production day, with lack of work kept separate. Downtime Pareto, MTBF and MTTR by machine.
Alloy and lots
Alloy consumption is booked with every good part, the bill of materials is fixed when the order is released, and the melt lot stays linked to the order.
Reports and alerts
Production, OEE, downtime, scrap, alarms and shift handovers in PDF and Excel. Email alerts when a stop lasts too long, OEE drops or a machine goes offline.
Integration and IT
It talks to the ERP and to the plan
Orders, items, bills of materials and routings come from the ERP; production declarations go back, at the end of each shift if you like. With xPlanE, actual progress updates the machine schedule.
- Web applications on Windows Server with IIS and SQL Server, updated in real time
- Terminals and screens on the factory network, with nothing to install on shop-floor PCs
- Administration panel with roles: master data, routings, calendars, shifts, reason codes
- Integration with the ERP you already use, to be assessed together
- User interface currently in Italian
