What is Plantwatch®?

Plantwatch® provides traceability, error proofing and control throughout your manufacturing process. Plantwatch®'s simple configuration uses drop down menus and a simple graphics editor to allow you to quickly connect and deploy your Plantwatch® application. Serialized or Lot based operations can be monitored, controlled, and logged to provide you with valuable real time or historical information. Error proofing with process control reduces build errors and ensures correct product routing. Bi-directional connectivity to plant devices/systems allows process data to be married to a final product’s historical genealogy enabling manufacturers to easily quarantine and/ or recall defective product by running a simple report.

Traceability

Plantwatch® stores data within SQL Servers. Each part's attributes along with process parameters and consumed materials are stored in SQL. This allows analytical reports to be created for forward and reverse genealogy, and process parameters.

Graphics

Plantwatch® has user friendly flexible graphics system where the user can create their desired screens with inputs, outputs, buttons, images and more.

Control

Plantwatch® allows you to make logical application decisions with its powerful Logic Chart engine. Then logic combined with powerful operations such as (WriteToOpc) allows complex logic to easily be created.

Connectivity

Plantwatch® can communicate with a multitude of systems including:

  • RS232
  • I/O
  • Ethernet
  • OPC
  • Structured Text File

All easily interfaced to Plantwatch®.
