Information determines our success on the market. And the right information consists in collecting, organizing and preparing it on a regular basis in order to subsequently draw conclusions and take the appropriate measures. In principle, that sounds pretty easy. After all, each of us already does that during a normal day at work. What is becoming more and more important nowadays, though, is that this process functions in an analogue and automated fashion. And even better: You no longer have to retrieve the relevant information, since it is now made available to you.

That is the new premise according to which Rosendahl Nextrom now designs their production solutions. The so-called “Smart Factory” is already becoming a reality to them.

RIO (Rosendahl Integrated Operation System) is their solution that meets precisely these requirements and automatically organizes and makes information available.

Here, the information about your production is automatically collected, aggregated, saved locally or optionally via a cloud, analyzed, reported and lastly optimized. For instance, each reel produced has its own special ID, which makes direct access to its data possible. From the process parameters and production times all the way to the machine operator, all the information about a reel can be read.

The advantage is that you can automatically access information about production performance, quality reports, reel protocols, error message-related statistics, energy reports, OEE figures etc.

In addition, smart package Add-ons for consumption measurement, extruder screw identification marking and integration in ERP/MES-systems are available.

Features:

  • Ready to use reports e.g. OEE, energy, quality and reel protocols
  • Real-time and historical data trends and reports
  • Integration in Microsoft Office® via Excel® and Word® add-ins
  • Data storage in a highly secure cloud environment
  • Mobile reporting and analysis
  • Ability to use 3rd party Software Tools e.g. MS PowerBI
  • Plant data and reports directly to mobile devices anywhere, anytime and from any device

Benefits:

  • Get a comprehensive overview of plant processes
  • Access to data of different lines from different facilities
  • Complete traceability of the produced coils
  • Cost determination through consumption recording
  • Expose equipment inefficiency
  • Detect potential for optimization
  • Compare OEE between lines, products, shifts,
  • Maximize the value of stored information
