This paper sets out to present how manufacturing system controllers can be an important part of a total system of real‐time manufacturing metrics data gathering and analysis as well as part of the quality control, product tracking and history documentation procedures.
The paper presents an overview of the GE Fanuc Proficy Production Management Solutions software system and illustrates some of the applications that can be applied in the factory.
Users can achieve significant benefits such as cost reduction, quality improvement, reduced product recalls and more easily meet government regulations by applying manufacturing metrics software to production applications.
Production controllers can be an important part of the process to reduce costs and improve quality as operations metrics move on to the factory floor.
Users now have a new avenue to better capture and analyze production information in real time.
