Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a system for integrating and centralizing multiple manufacturing software types into a consolidated platform. The system interfaces with third party software and performs data collection, data analytics, factory controls, virtual modeling, and checklist creation, as well as many other manufacturing applications. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are also integrated into the platform to assist with root cause analysis and increasing production efficiency.
Claims15
1-17. (canceled)
A system for integration of factory control platforms in a distributed environment comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- at least one operations applications software;
- at least one data analytics software;
- and
- at least one real-time advisory software;
- wherein each of the at least one operations applications software, the at least one data analytics software, and the at least one real-time advisory software each comprise respective machine executable code, each said respective machine executable code stored on the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, each said respective machine executable code executed by the at least one processor;
- wherein said at least one operations applications software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- interface with one or more factory control platforms ;
- collect data from the one or more factory control platforms ;
- and
- store data from the one or more factory control platforms ;
- wherein said at least one data analytics software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- interface with the at least one operations applications software;
- and
- perform analytics on said stored data;
- and
- wherein said at least one real-time advisory software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- interface with said at least one data analytics software;
- and
- generate action items based on said analytics, wherein the generating action items comprises one or more of:
- creating, by the at least one processor, a list to investigate root cause;
- adjusting, by the at least one processor, equipment parameters to improve quality;
- and
- creating, by the at least one processor, a shut-down and/or start-up checklist.
A system for integration of factory control platforms in a distributed environment comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- at least one operations applications software;
- at least one data analytics software;
- at least one real-time advisory software;
- and
- at least one connectivity and visualization software;
- wherein each of the at least one operations applications software, the at least one data analytics software, and the at least one real-time advisory software, and the at least one connectivity and visualization software each comprise respective machine executable code, each said respective machine executable code stored on the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, each said respective machine executable code executed by the at least one processor;
- wherein said at least one operations applications software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- interface with one or more factory control platforms;
- collect data from the one or more factory control platforms ;
- and
- store data from the one or more factory control platforms;
- wherein said at least one data analytics software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- perform analytics on said stored data;
- wherein said at least one real-time advisory software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- generate action items based on said analytics;
- and
- wherein said at least one connectivity and visualization software machine executable code comprises instructions configured and arranged to:
- generate reports based on the collected data and/or the analytics.
The system of claim 27,
- wherein the generate reports comprises one or more of:
- collecting and aggregating, by the at least one processor, the generated action items;
- and
- formatting reports, by the at least one processor, based on a user setting and or display parameters.
