Introduction to TrakSYS™
We have found that traditionally customers and integrators drift towards bespoke solutions. Often they feel that ‘out-of-the-box’ solutions do not easily deliver their exact requirements.
To address this we have looked at many such ‘out-of-the-box’ solutions and can honestly say that TrakSYS™ from Parsec Corporation is in our opinion the ‘Best in Class’ to overcome this challenge.
Cimlogic has spent many hours round a table talking to customers about their MES requirements, and having the expertise and knowledge of using TrakSYS™ we have not encountered any situation where TrakSYS™ would not be best suited.
For the customer it means a very quick turnaround, from specifying their requirements to seeing the captured real time data. It means that ‘multi-site’ rollouts can occur in parallel, rather than beta testing a bespoke solution at the first site.
Cimlogic are Parsec's UK Certified Implementation partners. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience of OEE, this product, and access to extensive resource both at Cimlogic and at Parsec Corporation in the US.
Importantly to complement the above we have many years experience of how machines and processes work, Control Systems, PLC Technology & Communications and so all of the underlying qualifiers that make us an ideal choice for implementing such an OEE Solution.
In most instances, the factors affecting equipment performance are not equipment related (e.g., operators, supplies/consumables, procedures, schedule, product design, etc.)
However, most performance management solutions only focus on equipment-centric events (mechanical failures, maintenance, uptime/downtime, etc.)
This will yield positive results, although, in a limited fashion. In order to significantly improve asset utilisation and yield, performance management solutions must interface and interact with various systems, applications and operations that affect:
- Asset Utilisation
- Quality
- Throughput and Yield
- On-Time Delivery
- Customer Satisfaction
TrakSYS™ does all this non-intrusively, regardless of infrastructure, with no changes to the assets and no production disruption!
