Material Usage Reporting -generates reports on materials by job, shift, day or other period. Export data back to ERP to improve operations. Tool Life Tracking -Tracks the time used and number of cycles that an individual tool was used.
Required to access the Tool Maintenance; where information is entered for maintenance performed on the tool. Operator Action Events - auto-generated data for each time an operator logs in or out into the system. Label Printing -Label printers may be connected via network or directly to a PlantStar DCM and barcode or other labels may be printed for any process requirement.

PlantStar 4. A single DCM can connect to sixteen machines for production monitoring, which reduces hardware costs. Process monitoring customers can perform continuous monitoring of process variable data, which typically requires one DCM for every four machines, depending upon the number of process variables being monitored. Each DCM has sixteen digital inputs, up to 24 analog inputs, and eight digital outputs and can support multiple-machine protocol interfaces via ethernet or serial connection.
With 50 years of experience behind us, PlantStar serves a wide range of customers, from single-plant installations to global operations. We are able to provide our customers several distinct advantages. With 50 years of industry experience, we have developed many different versions of MES. Three of these systems support plant floor production information, and three support both production and process information.
We have sized and targeted our systems to meet a variety of customer needs. Quickshot This is a basic system that supports twelve to 48 production machines. This system has limited upgrade capability. Snapshot Snapshot is an upgradeable, mid-entry level system for shop-floor production information. Many manufacturers who are interested in basic shop floor data metrics use it as a starting point. Portrait Portrait is our medium-sized product. It is an expansion to the Snapshot environment that incorporates many new functions, such as SPC data collection, that are not available in Snapshot.
Panorama This enterprise-level product, commonly used to integrate multi-site, multi-process environments, allows manufacturers to organize all their worldwide manufacturing assets under one system.
Popular among customers who are looking for enhanced process monitoring capabilities, Panorama is frequently used in industries such as medical, automotive, and plastics. The most recent system includes the following features:.
If your equipment is not functioning and Customer Service has requested that you RMA it, follow these steps. Please have as much information about the equipment available as possible. Serial number, the network settings if applicable, the number of analog ports in the DCM if needed. Click on the link below to complete the RMA. RMA Form. There are some critical not limited process variables that most of our customers want to monitor on injection molding machines both digital and analog.
This is a guideline of what might be needed in order to utilize process monitoring in PlantStar. The following signals are needed from the machine — these are usually 24VDC outputs, but if the machine is equipped with dry-contact outputs, we can use these as well.
The following analog signals are required also. Analog signals are constantly changing voltages during the cycle. PlantStar can read multiple ranges of voltages, from standard J or K type thermocouples, mvdc, or vdc. The machine survey needs to determine if these signals are available from the machine or if additional items need to be installed from machine vendor.
In many cases, the digital voltage signals can be acquired by sharing a signal that already exists on the machine through an isolation relay. Thermocouple signals can not be shared due to the very low voltage nature of the signal. This generally requires looking over machine documentation and looking at the machine controllers themselves to determine what is there. See the many different types of interfaces below.

Frequently Asked Questions. What is a manufacturing execution system MES? An MES is a digital information system that connects, monitors, and manages complex manufacturing systems and data flows on the factory floor. The main goals of an MES are to ensure effective execution of manufacturing operations and to improve productivity.
The benefits of PlantStar begin with the ability to schedule and manage every aspect of every production or manufacturing job. PlantStar provides easy to use drag-and-drop real-time scheduling, full production floor visibility, and enterprise resource planning ERP system integration.
Visibility of production and process data from all available machines, tools, and materials allows administrators and plant supervisors to have real-time, actionable information at their fingertips. The ability to analyze accurate data collected at each manufacturing process and work center allows managers to review and improve manufacturing processes and productivity.
How does an operator log in to your system? There are multiple operator security models that you can choose from. Operators can use an access code, operator ID, username or password, or badge scan, or their log in can remain open with no requirements for log in or log out.
The customer can choose which is best suited for their environment and how they want operator tracking to be established. What is live production scheduling? PlantStar can be hard wired to the machines, so it constantly gathers and records machine data as the production is happening on the floor. How do you calculate OEE? Why are spreadsheets a poor option for planning production?
Spreadsheets are heavily labor intensive. Spreadsheets are vulnerable to human mistakes. Paper spreadsheets are not easy to share, and changes are not easily communicated.
