Regular capture and evaluation of factory data

Monday 18. June 2012 - Intelligent information platform for adhesive systems

Robatech’s factory data software InfoPlus is an intelligent information system which records and evaluates data of the adhesive system continuously and thereby contributes to the further optimization of production processes.
Regular recording and evaluating of factory data makes the sequences more transparent. It is the basis for more efficient processes and a further optimized glue consumption. Robatech AG domiciled in Muri / Switzerland is specialized in adhesive application technology. With its new, intelligent factory data software InfoPlus the company offers a modern tool for the storage and evaluation of data and their visualization and communication on the RobaVis touch screen. With InfoPlus the Life-Cycle Service RobaPlus of Robatech is rounded off by a further important component.
Spare parts and contact data base
InfoPlus regularly records data of the adhesive system to create a log, calculate consumption data and generate messages for preventive maintenance. The software thus enables easy access to system data which are available on a central information platform for onward processing and to support operating and service personnel. The system includes also a library of Robatech’s global service partners which can be supplemented with individual contacts. Components installed in the equipment and the pertaining spare parts are listed in a spare parts data base and therefore easy to find. Regular and reliable maintenance is ensured by the fact that the software automatically displays a service message when service parts come towards the end of their useful life.
Useful tools for optimization
An integrated adhesive calculator offers the possibility, furthermore, of quickly calculating application patterns and further optimizing the glue consumption. Adhesive throughput data can be captured and presented with an optionally installed throughflow meter. Trained personnel can thus detect changes at an early stage and take preventive action thanks to the recorded heating curves and outputs. Tables showing degrees of effectiveness inform of the operation status and keep track of disturbances. The power consumption of the entire system is also measured and presented in tables. All evaluations and presentations are adapted to the Weihenstephan standard.
