SCADEX – Production lines supervision

Supervision and check are become importants parts of modern industrial production, essential elements for the reaching of total quality, for the global check of productive process and element of interconnection between productive environment and decision-making process.

RODER Electronics suggests global solutions for the supervision, check process, physical width acquisition and production data.

SCADEX is a complete packet for the supervision, check and data acquisition of process on production's lines. Combined with an electronics form series for the analysis and the distributive check is possible to check all the production process from one single check position. All the acquisition-data are registered in a database and gave availables for analysis and consultations.

SCADEX represents the natural evolution of one software series realized for lines of extrusion, pressing, rolling, enamelling, coupling and drawing plan in a first time on an exact request of users, afterwards enriched of functins and after standarized up to reach an high functionality and reliability degree. The standardization hasn't mitigated the personalization components thet RODER Electronics continues to propose for exacting users or for special applications.

SCADEX works in Windows (2000/XP) and makes use of the most modern technologies that are in business. Characterized from an high modulation and flexibility it can be used in different sectors. The opportunity to put in, take out or modify modulus that compose the system, give this packet adaptable with distants requirements.

SCADEX is installed on productive lines where there's process data acquisition, trend and report generation, historical log generation and process check.

Extrusion lines: temperatures, pressures, speed and levels monitoring; physical width check with exact regulation algorithmes; finished product dimension check and regulation at shut loop; registration and print of trend and production report..

Rolling lines : rolling mill check and regulation; rolled thickness and width check; temperature, pressure, and level acquisition; maintenance planning; batch, continuous and tactful process management; material thickness gauge.

Pressing lines : check of productive flow; quality and dimensional check of finished product; product codes and production lots management with managerial department data exchange.

Drawing lines : dimensional and qualitative product check; trend generation of process certification process and report; regulation in real time of system; maintenance planning.

Enamelling lines : enamelling pump regulation; dimensional check without contact of finished product with laser callipers and laser thickness gauge; process trend generation; maintenance planning; yarns and pipes ovalization gauge.

Welding lines : diameter,thickness and width gauge of continuous products; process trend visualization; batch, continuous and tactful process management; maintenance planning.

- Better system running. The operator has always under check the production line condition and he is guided across graphics, reducing mistake possibility.

- Simplicity management of complex process. Also not expert operators can lead systems of middle and high complexity.

- Better reliability. Historical analysis let to recognize weaker points of productive system.

-Productivity increase thanks to a rapids identification of faults and them prevention with predictive maintenances.

-Quality increase thanks to the data certification, the tracing lots, the documentation and the statistical report.

- Informations and data sharing importants for the production.

- Availability of in real time informations at factory decision-making levels.

Flexibility

SCADEX is a system costituted by a depicting software module set realized purposely for production line supervision. System heart is costituted by an acquisition module that across standard interfaces ( RS232- RS485 - RS422, bus field, Ethernet network, ecc.. ) effects the process physical widths sampling and the production data collection.

A powerful graphic engine represents in real time sampled widths giving easy and immediate the sysrem diagnosis.

The graphics subdivision in more synoptics let to share production line in more functional blocks, making easier the diagnosis and solution problems.

The management of differents production programs is confided at the managerial database.
It is possible to choose a management of prescriptionsingredients for continuous process type or a management of product-lot codes for tactful productions type. The system expects an unlimited number of prescriptions, ingredients, product codes or memorized lots. The data file is interfaced in any intelligent device that manages ODBC connection.

All software suggested by RODER Electronics, SCADEX and EASYLOG included, are completely based on Client-Server architectures. This let to manage also complex process decentraling the different functions: at Server devices can be allot the acquisition and check function; at Client devices can be allot the analysis, registration and remote monitoring function.

SCADEX flexibility let to divide in a suitable way the elaboration power, favourising the reaction time and the graphics interface or data analysis capacity.

The critical functions or program section that must to be protected from control access are managed across a hierarchic password system. For every security level come qualified the access only at one operator or group of operators. Only after to have introduced a password is possible to go into the wishes functions.

Near the most diffused communication interfaces ,SCADEX and EASYLOG, can be interfaced at bus of more diffused field (Profibus, Canbus, etc...), connected at Ethernet networks or interfaced at custom data acquisition systems.

It is possible to send SMS messages or e-mail where there's preestablished events or alarm condictions.

All the supervision system functions can be remotated using a web server and return vailables across an Internet or Ethernet connection. It is possible to examine the production line situation and interact with it with a browser connection (Internet Explore, Netcape, opera, etc...). All the access procedure of data can be protected with password or with authentication mechanism that prevent the unwanted access.

Data and information registration is useless if there isn't an instrument series for analysis, graphics representation and mathematical parameter calculation. So there are instruments for process trend visualization, mathematical modules for the statistical analysis, graphics modules for the graphics representation of sampled data, report generating compatibles with Cristal Report (TM) and Microsoft Excel (TM) standard.

Coupling SCADEX with an electronic module series for acquisition and distributed check is possible to check all the production process by a single check position.

All the required data are registered in a database across a datalogger purposely developed in regard to the costumer requirements and gave availables for the analysis and consultation across remotated and local emplacements.

It is possible to acquire temperatures (across thermoregulators, temperature transmitters, or custom devices), speed (across encoder, tachmeter dynamo, inverter operation, digital sensors), pressures (across pressure transmitters, gauge instruments and sensors) and levels (across sensors)

A special communication module let to connect SCADEX with any sensors, instrument or device that gauges any physical width or process feature. Across this module it is possible to check parameters and special widths like defects, power, colours, dimensions, etc....

A graphic screen groups all the alarms that are present on a system. The system after provides to manage the operator to the problem situation with graphics animations and with personalized messages.

Check and Monitoring

Different physical widths are involved in a production process. Only one process with all the physical width under check and always monitored can guarantee an high quality and productivity level.

The systems suggested by RODER Electronics let to keep under check all the physical widths of a production line: temperatures, speed, pressures, dimensions and levels.

The opportunity to connect devices and systems of different buildings at system let to keep under check also “particular” widths like defects, power, colours, shiftings and quality.

The opportunity to manage an unlimited number of prescriptions, ingredients, product codes and production lots let to check also very complex process.

All monitoring and check systems suggested are developed with the most modern networking technologies. The use of communication techniques on Ethernet network give possible the interconnection of more systems with a central server that can visualize and manage all data coming from more check emplacements.

The data centralization simplifies the check report generation, the check cards realization and the production trend consultation.

All the acquired data from production line can be consult near the machine or remotated in one or more personal computer detached in the production office. The data are so availables in real time also at the most high decisional levels

Certification documents and statistical report generation let the reaching of total quality and global check of realized products totality.

All software suggested by RODER Electronics integrated a datalogger that, connected with a business database, let to register data in a standard format. Registered data can be transfered or elaborated at distance to obtain check paper ( XR paper and XS paper), graphics and histograms (production tendency and population distribution), statistical analysis ( CP calculation, Cpk, dispersion index) or personalized certification documents.
