PlanMateDC Data Center – Achieving a Transparent Factory

The concept of transparent chemical factory

A transparent chemical factory refers to data transparency, including process technology, production plans, production progress, quality data, equipment status, material flow, etc. The data can be queried and traced.

With the support of modern communication facilities and network technology, the transparent factory is no longer limited to the factory area. Through the Internet and with the support of authority control, users can query various data in the factory at any time around the world. Consider the following scenario:

  • When the salesperson is talking to the customer, the customer asks about the company’s production capacity and on-time delivery ability. The salesperson can immediately log in to the system and show the customer the workshop’s production and delivery plan.
  • The customer sits in his or her office, logs in to the supplier’s system to check the production progress of his company’s order, and immediately knows when the delivery will be made. There is no need to call and ask every day and wonder whether the supplier is perfunctory.
  • The follow-up business can check the production progress and delivery time of each order at any time. If there are any problems, communicate with the customer immediately and coordinate with the workshop.
  • Business managers can turn on their mobile phones at any time to see if everything is normal in the factory at home or on business abroad.

PlanMate data center, based on the powerful computing power of APS, provides customers with comprehensive data query and on-site monitoring.

Regarding production progress in MES:

Planmate’s data center mainly provides data from APS. Some customers have already imported MES, and the MES system will also provide data query functions. Users can query all data obtained during the production process.
Since APS and MES are currently independent manufacturers, if the customer has already imported MES, we will integrate APS and MES.
If the customer has not imported MES, and does not plan to fully import MES immediately, we will provide the customer with a micro MES, which can be used in the workshop to report batch work using a PAD or computer, and the production progress can be obtained regularly.

 

system applications:

Permission control:

PlanMateDC has complete permission management and uses user groups to manage permissions. Each person logs in with a separate username and password
In addition to the query permissions of our factory employees, the PlanMate data center can set permissions for customers. Customers can log in to check the production progress and delivery plans of their own company’s orders. There is no need to call for inquiries every day, which gives customers peace of mind and business peace of mind.

data query:
