最新版本的SmartServices®, Conair’s cloud-based Industry 4.0 solution for connecting, monitoring, and managing auxiliary equipment, adds new features that give processors added flexibility in equipment monitoring, expanded integration capabilities with non-Conair controls, and a common interface for remote auxiliary equipment control. All of these additions mark Conair’s continued effort to realize the Industry 4.0 goal of exchanging standardized data across machine types and achieving machine-to-machine and machine-to-PC connectivity.
Thanks to expanded naming, grouping, and sub-grouping features, processors can now name and organize equipment and equipment groups for SmartServices monitoring and management in virtually any way they wish—by plant, process, line, or equipment type. These expanded options give processors flexibility to create time-saving scans that “roll up” performance trends, KPIs, maintenance alerts, or priority alarms within a single large equipment grouping. Then, if additional details are required, processors can dig deeper, scanning through varied or specialized subgroups, such as all dryers, all auxiliaries that serve a specific production line, or all TCUs that are due for preventive maintenance.
SmartServices has also expanded its array of real-time trending and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Instead of displaying a default set of 3 KPIs for each machine type, SmartServices now offers 10 customizable KPIs and enables users to customize and rank-order all 10 for time-saving, at-a-glance monitoring.
与Blender-DATA记录结合使用的另一个新功能通过跟踪和存储树脂用法并提供搅拌器或计划的用法报告或通过树脂名称来简化库存管理和生产与废料计算。新的事实是，这些功能现在已集成到SmartServices平台中，该平台将自动完成所有软件和硬件服务器相关的数据的安装和数据的维护。然后，SmartServices总计来自每个搅拌机的信息，并将这些数据存储在云中，例如任何KPI或其他测量。然后，用户可以运行树脂报告。
Standardized displays, built with non-standardized data
标准化设备数据的常规交换是行业4.0的基础元素。但是，数据标准化的协议 - OPC UA - 仅是为塑料机械控件创建的，因此，处理器的广泛采用是不可能的。
To bridge this gap and enable the organized presentation of data from auxiliaries not built by Conair, the SmartServices team performs its own custom integration work. This involves reading the data streams of other auxiliary controls that use MODBUS, pulling out relevant data, and integrating it with real-time data from similar auxiliaries for presentation. Until OPC UA is widely adopted, this integration work is essential to processing varied auxiliary equipment data into the neat trend lines, statistical displays, KPIs, and clickable features common to the SmartServices interface.
But the integration effort doesn’t stop there. As Conair implements its newly announced “common” control platform and HMI for its auxiliaries, SmartServices is able to display that same common look and feel in its Machine Control view, which gives authorized users the ability to view and remotely control auxiliary equipment the same way they would on the plant floor. This enables SmartServices to deliver a common remote control interface with the SmartServices platform.
