TR Cutler Looks at Scytec Cloud Machine Utilization to Avoid OEE Pilot Programs

Greenwood Village, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/10/2012 -- According to manufacturing journalist TR Cutler, in the current issue of Automation.com, "Large upfront fees have stopped many manufacturers from implementing an enterprise-wide OEE or utilization machine tracking solution. With no large upfront fees, and a pay as you go low monthly payments more manufacturing firms would TRY this technology."

A cloud-based SaaS model would allow for a low entry cost for manufacturers to immediately capture data collection enterprise-wide for less than a pilot program. This is a game changer! Collecting data is one thing; making data useful is another. There is clearly value to having historical data, but having the data in a meaningful format as the activities are happening greatly increases the value of any data collection system. Josh Davids, President of Scytec was recently interviewed about the role of DataXchange, providing user configurable real-time viewer for feedback as the data is collected.

According to Davids, "Visual information helps articulate more clearly, and few solutions deliver visual data to stakeholders throughout the organization with user interfaces uniquely configured to suit the needs of specific users or function areas. Visually manufacturing data must be accessible to more people to make faster decisions and accelerate workflows, leading to faster, better understanding, and communication of information."

OEE/Tracking Utilization Pilot Programs No Longer Needed
When considering an OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) or Machine Tracking Utilization system, most companies have the financial scope to conduct a trial or pilot program. This usually means putting the tracking utilization solution on a few machines to build a case for the solution enterprise-wide. Ethernet based protocols such as Fanuc Focas and MTConnect greatly reduce or eliminate hardware at each piece of equipment. In addition to supporting these latest technologies, DataXchange also supports RS-232 serial devices such as CNC machines, CMM's, scanners and RFID hardware.

The expense of many OEE solutions is the need to house and maintain the servers. The SaaS cloud design greatly reduces the implementation and maintenance costs. With one PC on site to aggregate the data from the equipment and ensure the data is successfully and securely transferred to the server, immediate reporting of data is available.

Westec Presentation March 28th by Scytec Overall Equipment Effectiveness and Cloud Based Machine Utilization

Greenwood Village, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/26/2012 -- Overall equipment effectiveness technologies are expensive and start with a pilot program on a few machines; the Scytec Saas model is totally different. At Westec, on Wednesday, March 28, 1:30 - 2:00pm, there is an important presentation: "Cloud Based Machine Utilization, Downtime and OEE Collected & Displayed Real-Time." This critical event will reveal how real time OEE information can now be collected with no database or reporting servers to install.

The Scytec DataXchange Process Control System will be previewed on March 27 - 29, 2012 at Westec in the Shop Floor Automations Booth, #2344.

This new data collection system has the ability to track multiple types of cycle time. Cycle time can be tracked from a hardware adapter and through MTConnect or Fanuc Focas. Reporting on metrics such as utilization and efficiency, Scytec runs both sets of cycle time and then compares data.

Josh Davids, President of Scytec noted, "DataXchange supports Ethernet based protocols greatly reducing or eliminating hardware at each piece of equipment. It also supports RS-232 serial devices such as CNC machines, CMM's, scanners and RFID hardware. Data collection from MTConnect or Fanuc Focas is great…yet many times there's a need to collect from manual equipment. Keying off of voltage, current, or presence sensors are all methods used as input into DataXchange to identify the state of the equipment."

Real time configurable dashboard viewing of shop floor data with automatic updating is essential. DataXchange has a user configurable dashboard displaying a variety of information, all updating in real time. The views are configurable allowing the dashboard to be used for visual manufacturing on the shop floor, as well as a tool for management, maintenance, and quality departments.

Davids noted, "We don't limit the number of computers, phones, or tablets that the software runs on. We don't limit the number of concurrent users looking at data. Accessing the collected data is unlimited and can be accessed in the facility, on the road, from home; the data is available at all times from any location accessible from a PC, a tablet, or a phone."

DataXchange is written from the ground up utilizing the latest technologies such as .NET, REST web services, and Windows Presentation Foundation; it is designed to evolve with the industry, integrate with other systems such as ERP solutions. There are no database or web servers to purchase or maintain because Scytec houses and maintains the servers in a secure data center, greatly reducing the implementation and maintenance costs. There will be one PC on site which will aggregate the data from the equipment and take care of ensuring the data is successfully and securely transferred to the server and available for immediate reporting.

DataXchange is designed for multiple facilities across time zones, supporting multiple languages based on the user login. There are no large upfront fees, one low setup fee and, low monthly payments based on the quantity of equipment utilizing the system. Scytec's DataXchange will be the most important product announcement at Westec 2012.

OEE Pilot Programs No Longer Required Due to Scytec DataXchange SaaS Model

Greenwood Village, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/20/2012 -- Typical OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) technologies are expensive and start with a pilot program on a few machines; the Scytec Saas model is totally different. The Scytec DataXchange Process Control System will be previewed on March 27 - 29, 2012 at Westec in the Shop Floor Automations Booth, #2344. This new data collection system has the ability to track multiple types of cycle time. Cycle time can be tracked from a hardware adapter and through MTConnect or Fanuc Focas. Reporting on metrics such as utilization and efficiency, Scytec runs both sets of cycle time and then compares data.

Josh Davids, President of Scytec noted, "DataXchange supports Ethernet based protocols greatly reducing or eliminating hardware at each piece of equipment. It also supports RS-232 serial devices such as CNC machines, CMM's, scanners and RFID hardware. Data collection from MTConnect or Fanuc Focas is great…yet many times there's a need to collect from manual equipment. Keying off of voltage, current, or presence sensors are all methods used as input into DataXchange to identify the state of the equipment."

Real time configurable dashboard viewing of shop floor data with automatic updating is essential. DataXchange has a user configurable dashboard displaying a variety of information, all updating in real time. The views are configurable allowing the dashboard to be used for visual manufacturing on the shop floor, as well as a tool for management, maintenance, and quality departments.
