Industrial Automation & Production Efficiency

Control, connectivity and OEE systems for plant-floor equipment that has to run for a decade in a cabinet.

Plant-floor production efficiencyMachines report cycles and stops; the edge controller turns them into OEE. It is accented because it has to keep counting when the network does not.MES · ERPorder · scheduleMachine · PLCModbus · PROFINETEdge controllercounts · downtimereason codesOEE dashboardline · shiftLine sensorscycle · rejectAndonoperator signal

The problem

What makes it hard

  • Downtime and scrap are visible in the monthly report but not on the line, so the cause is argued about instead of measured.

  • A control loop that holds on the bench drifts under real load, and the fix crosses schematic, firmware and scheduler.

  • Machines from different vendors speak Modbus, OPC UA, PROFINET and CAN FD, and none of it lands in one place.

What this needs

Relevant capabilities

  • System ControlOpen- and closed-loop control with the determinism budget — jitter, latency, failure behaviour — stated up front.
  • FirmwareFirmware written against the board we designed, so a driver bug is traced to the wire, not a datasheet guess.
  • Industrial Data GatewaysField protocols behave badly; the gateway is where that gets handled, with buffering that survives a dropped link.
  • HMIOperator interfaces measured in frame time and input latency, on the panel the product actually ships with.
  • PCB DesignBoards designed for signal integrity, power and manufacture from the first schematic sheet.
