Implementation

Straightforward Implementation Process

Implementation is not as difficult as it would seem to have all this information at your fingertips. Savance engineers will take care of working with your engineers or machine manufacturers to make the required changes to each machine in order to prepare the necessary data. Savance will also handle the entire database design and specify all of the required hardware and infrastructure including Ethernet wiring, servers, switches, UPS, PLC hardware (such as a ControlLogix gateway with a 1756-ENET and 1756-DHRIO). The only portion of the project that you need to worry about is what data you would like to collect and what type of reports and alerts you would like to receive that are specific to your process.

BENEFITS

  • Write to any ODBC-compliant database such as SQL Server, Oracle, or even Excel or Text
  • Connect to any machine that supports DDE (through RSLinx), OPC, TCP/IP communications, or your custom requirement.
  • Flexible architecture scales to meet your needs.
  • Use a formula to alter the data (such as for units) before storing it in the database
  • Runtime Engine alerts Dispatch Engine via TCP/IP for instant response to service actions such as label prints, bar code prints, pager alerts, or e-mail notifications.
  • On-demand reporting to gain access to production data such as trending, process reporting based on serial number, or out-of-spec drill-downs.
