Datonis Factory

Getting started with Datonis Factory

Once the device data is available on Datonis platform the factory application gives business context to this data and helps the end user to make data driven informed operational decisions and also provides actionable insights. Various aspects of operations like production, productivity (OEE), quality, condition of critical machine parameters, process capability and energy can be monitored, measured and improved using this application. Datonis Factory allows you to:

• Define, configure and manage Factory master data
• Visualize LIVE factory production and condition based monitoring (CBM) data
• Do real time production booking
• Do daily workcenter level planning
• Do unplanned and planned downtime loss booking
• Do quality rejection booking along with quality rejection codes
• Set up alerts and notifications
• Analyze production and CBM data at work center level
• Analyze production data at cell level
• View different reports for data driven decision making
• Factory Data as a Service

Define, Configure and Manage Factory Master Data

Datonis Factory allows the user to configure the factory application catering to the requirements of your organization.

• Use Condition Based Monitoring and Process Data for Advance Analytics / Correlations / Machine Learning / Predictive Maintenance to reduce Unplanned Down Times Smart Energy Management – Load Management , Downsizing Opportunities, Network Losses Integration with Factory Planning and Scheduling System – Feedback and Constraint based Re-planning
• Once data is validated on Datonis, next step is to enable iProd/iCBM for the respective account and configuring the application as per the Organization Hierarchy. This includes:

PLANT, DEPARTMENT ,CELL, WORKCENTRE

• This information is to be discussed and provided by the customer for the configuration to be completed.
• For CBM configuration, user can configure its CBM paramters for a work center along with the limiting levels like Lower control limit(LCL) and Upper control limit(UCL)

Set up real time Alerts and Email Configurations

You can now start configuring the alerts and emails for your account based on the rules you can configure. To do this you will need to:

• Production Emails for Daily reports can be set at desired times for the end users so that one can get a quick overview of a particular Workcenter or Cell in one consolidated report over the email.
• For ex: A report can be scheduled daily at 8.30 AM showcasing previous day’s production insights in your email. This can be configured based one the frequency user wants to set.
• Production/CBM alerts will be configured for giving the end user notifications in form of Email or SMS over phone for different Alert Rule conditions.
• For production, this includes alerts for idle time greater than a specified time or production rate slower than a specified rate.
• For CBM alerts, notifications may be set for a range of values, say a component temperature is below or above a specified value.

Factory Features

Now that you have your thing connected and sending data and alerts to Datonis, you would want to manage them. There are several things that you can do to manage your things.

• Live Dashboard for Production data: Live status of all machines in a cell for current shift are displayed here. Here user can see the idle and productive slots, time elapsed from the start of the shift, production qty, down time and up time.
• Live Dashboard for Condition Based Monitoring Data: Live status of all the machines in terms of its criticality parameters is shown here. This give the real time data view of Critical workcenter Parameters.
• Daily Production Insight for Factory data: Daily Production Insights: User can see the daily production insights of the cell. User can also see the comparison of current day data with the moving average performance. One can also download the data in csv file.

CBM Configurations

Datonis Factory gives a facility to configure the Master data to measure the Condition Based Monitoring.

You can configure the CBM Master data as follows.

• CBM Paramters
• CBM Failure Modes
• TPM Classifiaction
• Parameter Criticality

Production Booking

Production booking allows the factory user to see the factory data Here user can actually see the production slots and actually assign the operations performed during these slots. Automatic production booking is also possible if required data is automatically coming to the OPC server.

Factory Data as a Service

The Datonis Application API is a fully RESTful JSON based API that can be used to interact with the Datonis platform. Everything that can be achieved using the Datons UI and more can be achieved using the Datonis Application API.

The API can be used for the following purposes.

• As a command line interface (CLI) instead of using the Datonis UI.
• Building custom web and mobile applications for your Things.
• Integrating your thing data with other software systems

We are currently at version 3 of the API. Datonis will maintain backward compatibility to the last major version of the API which is version 2 which is now deprecated.
