Process Data Acquisition
Integration of your machine controls can improve your productivity and lessen your downtime; but plant and company-wide access to data from your automation control systems is an increasingly important concern for most companies. Imagine what company-wide integration of process data can do for you…
PCT has experience in developing production tracking systems. As an example, we produced a system for John Deere’s Davenport Works to track the parts on the main conveyor of their paint line. We designed a multiple tier system, including plant floor PLC controls and production tracking via a series of databases. PCT was then selected to design, develop and commission the conveyor control system for the manufacturer using a PC based client/server configuration. Message queue architecture was implemented to transport data to the inventory database and the payroll host. The completed system provided “better control of (our) production schedules” and enabled Deere "to give our dealers exact delivery dates for orders".
The PCT Innovation Group can employ a powerful combination of I.T. tools and plant floor automation controls experience. The result is a tightly integrated system of controls and data.
