I want an easier way to work through batch variance reviews
Something went wrong with that last batch. But how wrong? Do you
scrap it or ship it?
In this situation, batch manufacturers typically have to gather
isolated pieces of information, historian records, alarm history,
operator logs, and sit down for the time consuming process of
determining what went wrong and whether production variables went
out of bounds far enough to scrap the batch. New technologies
allow the automatic merging of alarm, event, and historian data
to drastically reduce variance review times by better displaying
relevant data and by concentrating data into one interface.
The LogMate AMS TRAC module is an OPC-HDA client capable of displaying
trends of alarms and events collected into a LogMate database along
with trends from a data historian. All can be combined on the same
interface for the purpose of accelerated batch review. Using TRAC,
batch manufacturers have online, browser-based access to a reproduction
of exactly what happened during the process in question. Batch review
times are reduced and accuracy is increased, turning batches around
more quickly and keeping personnel on task rather than in the conference
room.
