Abstract
A method and system allow monitoring a manufacturing process. The process is executed at a plant. Data is acquired from the plant about the state of the plant and/or of parts thereof. The data are converted into Gantt charts. An HTML file is thereby created and sent to browsers of the clients for rendering, and a data record is asynchronously refreshed, including information about a current state of the monitored plant and/or part thereof.
Claims13
A method of monitoring a manufacturing process via a web application, the method comprising the following steps:
- acquiring from a plant executing the manufacturing process data about a state of the plant and/or of parts of the plant;
- converting the data into one or more Gantt charts, the converting step including:
- creating an HTML file and sending the HTML file to browsers of clients for rendering;
- and
- asynchronously refreshing a data record including information about a current state of the monitored plant and/or the parts thereof.

A system for monitoring a manufacturing process, comprising:
- a web server executing a web application;
- browsers running on clients connected to and communicating with said web server;
- an Overall Equipment Effectiveness server acquiring, from a plant executing the manufacturing process, state data about a state of the plant and/or of parts of the plant and supplying the web server with the state data when one or more clients request corresponding monitoring results;
- and
- a database configured to store the state data and also time information to be used for defining a time range of the monitoring;
- a time information management server reading the time range from said database when said one or more clients request the monitoring results and supplying said web server with the time range;
- and
- said web application and said web server being configured to convert the state data relevant to the time range into an HTML file and to send the HTML file to said browsers of said one or more clients for rendering as one or more Gantt charts.
