Plant Reporter
STANDALONE ANALYTICS SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR PLANT-WIDE VISIBILITY INTO YOUR SYNTHETIC FIBER PRODUCTION TRENDS.
How It Works
Machine downtime and runability issues mean lost revenue for your operations.
The Instrumar Plant Reporter provides you with our advanced reporting and analytics software that displays a selectable array of your key plant production data on easy-to-understand, intuitive dashboards. Flexible and web-based, these dashboards can be easily shown on a range of displays. From laptops in the executive office, to plant-floor and control room monitors, the Instrumar Plant Reporter enabling you and your staff to quickly identify problems and take action.
With out-of-box functionality, our software can present a variety of key metrics and will let you see your entire plant’s production on a single or multi-screen setups. Further, Instrumar’s powerful software can also easily incorporate data from your production machinery, existing sensors and corporate databases to provide customized data, charts and alerts on the critical metrics that matter to your individual plant.
Our intuitive, at-a-glance graphical design lets you instantly identify hotspots across your plant – right down to a specific threadline – so your plant personnel can immediately take action to get your production back up and running. With access to historical data and reporting features, your process engineers can analyze recurring problems and more quickly understand what environmental or machinery issues may be causing downtime.
Why Instrumar
Instrumar has more than 20 years of experience working with some of the world’s leading fiber producers, helping them improve their quality and production. We understand the issues and metrics that matter to manmade fiber producers, and our software has been designed around the plants, people, equipment and processes used by the fiber industry.
Features
The Instrumar Plant Reporter provides you with a host of benefits from the plant floor all the way to the executive office, including:
SUPPORTS A VARIETY OF PLANT INPUTS
Integrate signals and provide alarming for a range of production machinery, winders, and sensors (tension, optical, thread presence, etc.)
EASY CONNECTIVITY
Easily integrate signals from production machinery, sensors and winders via multiple inputs such as software, PLCs and OPC.
SCALABLE, WEB-BASED DISPLAYS
Graphical, intuitive dashboards displaying critical production information can be installed on a variety of devices across the plant – from the executive office to the plant floor. Instrumar Fiber System displays are scalable and able to present critical performance data all one screen – regardless of the number of positions/threadlines you have in operation.
PLANT-FLOOR INTELLIGENCE
With the Instrumar Fiber System, you can easily add large screen monitors on your plant floor to display dashboard information, providing production shift personnel with real-time data to quickly identify problems and accelerate string-ups and flag maintenance issues.
ACTIONABLE ALARMS
The Instrumar Fiber System features customizable alerts, which can be set to notify key personnel – from machine operators to plant managers – when production problems are identified. Alarms can be on-screen, positional LED alarms, printed on labels and emailed to key personnel.
Automatic Grading
In addition to fault setting, Plant Reporter allows you to define package grades, which the system then automatically calculates based on quality defects detected during the product run. Grades can be displayed in real time, printed on labels, emailed to key personnel, and also made available in history reports.
AUTOMATIC PRINTER LABELS
Plant Reporter can send critical production information (date/time/product ID, position, etc.) as well as grading and other quality information to plant floor printers (for certain printer configurations) for label printing tailored to your operations.
Analytical Reports
Plant Reporter does more than just monitor your fiber production. Insightful, easy-to-read, automatically generatored reports can be produced for any shift or time period, providing comparative information across machines, shifts and products. Production information can be filtered by fault type, grade and package size. Report data can also include:
- Yield
- Exception (downgraded) Package Summaries
- Statistical Process Control Summaries
- Package Trend Summaries
- Machine Efficiency
- Shift productivity and comparisons
- String-up times and comparisons
- Break-type information (such as doff breaks)
Historic Reporting
Analysis of historical machine performance trends facilitates Intelligent Maintenance and helps you reduce machine downtime. Plant Reporter keeps detailed records in an SQL database of every historical package and line break, allowing plants to better understand historical and current performance.
