The acquisition path connects PLCs, ECUs, Advantech EdgeLink and the MIC/AP network to the iFactory/Desk platform. The scope includes production data, machine states, dashboards and alarm/downtime input, supported by user documentation and test procedures for operations teams.
Scope of system functions
Area | Main function |
|---|---|
OEE monitoring | Shows Availability, Performance, Quality and OEE |
Analysis per line | Compares the effectiveness of each line or machine |
Alarm analysis | Shows alarm history and classification per machine |
Data configuration | Manages plants, lines, machines, parameters and data sources |
Machine status | Maps PLC codes to running, idle, stop or alarm |
KPI and capacity | Sets the OEE target, production per hour and shift schedule |
Dashboard | Arranges charts, panels, menus and the monitoring time range |
Manual entry | Adds alarms and defects that the PLC does not provide |
Critical notes for management
The system can support decisions, but OEE accuracy still depends heavily on the quality of the configuration and on disciplined data entry. Several points need to be controlled:
Production per Hour values, shift schedules, machine status classification and the OEE formula must be agreed as official master data.
Manual alarm and defect entry can lead to delays, misclassification or data manipulation.
Edit and delete functions should be limited by user authority and backed by an audit trail.
Manual alarms must be closed on time so downtime is not overcounted.
The dashboard, production records, quality data and maintenance reports should be reconciled regularly.
The manual does not describe backup, data retention, user authorization, audit trail, cybersecurity or system recovery procedures.
A higher OEE figure does not automatically mean a better business result. Link it to throughput, good output, downtime, production cost and market demand.
