XPRIMER.IoT - smart manufacturing within Industry 4.0

XPRIMER.IoT (Internet of Things) is a collection of tools for the exchange of information in a shop floor between sensors, devices, machines, controllers, databases and other IT systems, in particular the MES system.

Combining XPRIMER.IoT with the possibilities offered by other eq system solutions will enable you to transform your company into the Factory of the Future.

The data provided via XPRIMER.IoT enhances the degree of precision and reliability of the information available in XPRIMER.MES, which is the basis for improving production control processes and optimising the use of existing production resources.

An automated data collection and processing infrastructure is the first step towards
Industry 4.0.

Automate data collection and provide process visibility

XPRIMER.IoT allows you to connect to machines and automatically retrieve information from them such as:

quantity of correct and defective products
machine status
consumption of electricity and other utilities
occurrence of micro-downtimes.

The use of machine readings with the help of XPRIMER.IoT improves the quality of the data collected, the time taken to obtain the data and relieves the burden on operators. This enables further effective online transfer of information to other production management support systems (MES, APS, WMS, CMMS, ERP) and the creation of reports from within XPRIMER.MES.

Obtain reliable, real-time machine status data

XPRIMER.IoT provides continuous access to information on the status and throughput of the machine. In addition, it is possible to record the number of correct and defective products produced and thus to precisely monitor the OEE indicator for individual machines.

Detailed data on consumed utilities (e.g. electricity) provided by XPRIMER.IoT helps to calculate the actual production costs with high precision.

The XPRIMER platform offers the possibility of two-way communication with the machine, which allows production control, process control and the safe execution of production processes. The XPRIMER solution is based on a communication standard that is provided and maintained by the OPC FOUNDATION.

Ensure better plant productivity by monitoring micro-downtimes

A micro-interruption, which is a brief interruption of a machine or production line, measured in seconds or minutes, may seem insignificant at first sight, but the sum of micro-interruptions of all machines can significantly affect the productivity of a plant on an annual basis. Micro-interruptions are characterised by the fact that, unlike faults or failures, they cannot be reported without a proper connection to the machines.

The XPRIMER.IoT module allows the registration of micro-downtimes in real time. Their recording and analysis is an important area for optimising production processes.

Improve data security and integrity

The connection to machines is becoming more and more common in production management, but the challenge is to unify the signals acquired between different devices and ensure the secure flow of data. XPRIMER.IoT enables the unification of collected data, and managing the flow of information from one central platform ensures that it is properly protected at the same time.

Data security also means ensuring that the data is reliable and has been obtained without human intervention. This gives confidence in terms of their further processing and its use within the organisation.

Production monitoring in the MES together with the IoT module translates into a significant decrease in production rejects and accurate data that foremen receive directly from the system. This allows them to work closer to employees, instead of sitting in front of their computers. Precise data received from the system shows us for which injection moulding machines and moulds we have an increase in rejects, which is a signal to check the mould and act quickly. These are measurable results because we avoid unnecessary downtime. The fact that we are introducing tools to optimise processes and management is an incentive for our team to look for solutions.

We focus on expanding our portfolio with innovative solutions developed thanks to investments in human resources, research, and development. We know that if you stand still, you can only go backwards, so for us development also means improving the management of production processes. We chose eq system as the company to support us in this area. There were several factors behind this choice, first of all – the experience and knowledge of eq system experts and the fact that they did not impose ready-made solutions but focused on adapting them to our organisation.
