Equipment Performance Module 2.0 - Control System

Equipment Performance Module 2.0
Real-time Equipment Downtime and Efficiency Tracking
The Wonderware ® Equipment Performance Module
powered by Wonderware Factelligence ® technology helps
companies quickly capture critical plant information
and deliver it to anyone throughout the organization for
immediate action to improve overall plant performance.
This real-time equipment-performance and plantefficiency
information therefore enables operators and
other decision-makers to:
Reduce capital expenditures by identifying the most
productive assets for continued operation
Cut down on production costs by decreasing labor
costs, scrap and rework
Decrease time-to-market by identifying production
bottlenecks more quickly and increasing supplier
accountability
Increase the capacity of existing assets by pinpointing
the causes of unplanned downtime and improving
operational efficiency
The software uses underlying ArchestrA ® technology
to accelerate system configuration and reduce system
maintenance with pre-configured Pareto charts, key
performance indicators (KPIs), event detection objects
and automated reports.
EVOLVE YOUR SYSTEM INCREMENTALLY,
AT YOUR OWN PACE
The Equipment Performance Module is an important
component of the Wonderware software solutions for
Production and Performance Management. Integrated
with the Wonderware System Platform, the Equipment
Performance Module leverages the unparalleled data
source connectivity, re-usability and scalability of the
software’s underlying ArchestrA technology.
The result is that modern manufacturers and industrial
operations now have more power to incrementally
increase application functionality using low-risk
deployment techniques – one step at a time, as
requirements evolve.
BETTER UTILIZE YOUR RESOURCES WITH
DETAILED EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE
INFORMATION
Knowing how well your process equipment performs
can help you maintain the highest possible levels of
asset utilization. The Equipment Performance Module
from Wonderware is specifically designed to collect the
detailed information you need to better understand your
equipment’s actual utilization. It also provides standard
and customized Web reports, which you can use to focus
your improvement efforts.

SAVE TIME WITH PRE-CONFIGURED
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
The Equipment Performance Module provides preconfigured
equipment event objects, which empower
plant personnel to quickly capture asset-utilization data.
Pre-configured web-based reports are also included to
swiftly give you the information you need to optimize
your plant’s equipment utilization without the need to
create custom reports.
MINIMIZE EQUIPMENT DOWNTIME
AND UNLOCK HIDDEN PRODUCTION
CAPACITY
Every minute that your critical equipment is down, your
productivity suffers. By systematically analyzing your
equipment’s downtime or slowdowns with the Equipment
Performance Module, you can identify and eliminate
the true causes of your lost production, and unlock the
hidden production capacity in your plant.
The Equipment Performance Module leverages your
existing system to collect highly accurate and timely
information related to downtime events — without the
need to modify your PLC programming.
Pareto and other charts give decision-makers a clear
view into which downtime events occur most frequently,
and how much production time has actually been lost
– in an actionable format.
In essence, the Wonderware Equipment Performance
Module provides precisely the information you need to
make the most out of your process improvement efforts.
IMPROVE EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS
WITH OEE METRICS AND NEW
ARCHESTRA GRAPHICS
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a well-accepted
metric for comparing the efficiency of equipment, lines
or entire plants. OEE combines equipment availability,
performance and product-quality information into a
single, easy-to-understand metric.
The Wonderware Equipment Performance Module
automatically collects near real-time OEE information
with easy-to-configure efficiency objects. You can
easily combine efficiency data from the Equipment
Performance Module with vibrant ArchestrA graphics
in Wonderware InTouch ® 10.0 HMI to quickly build
stunning OEE dashboard displays for operators. You can
also produce a wide variety of OEE charts and reports,
which you can then distribute via the Web to decisionmakers
throughout the plant.
COLLECT OPERATOR FEEDBACK TO
IMPROVE PLANT EFFICIENCY AND
PRODUCTIVITY
Using pre-configured InTouch 10.0 HMI screens loaded
with equipment efficiency metrics, gives operators the
ability to “steer” equipment efficiency in real time. They
can input feedback on equipment events in a structured
way that equipment deviations can be quantified and
properly classified. This approach enables operators
to focus on their most important job: running the
equipment. The ability to collect operator feedback
also gives context to equipment performance reports,
empowering plant decision-makers to develop more
effective process improvement strategies. The end result
is improved plant efficiency and productivity.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Data Collection
Operator Involvement
Event Detection
ADVANTAGES
The Wonderware Equipment Performance Module leverages industryleading
data source connectivity and the powerful integration capabilities of
the Wonderware System Platform. The powerful Wonderware Factelligence
technology automatically collects event and process data, helping to ensure
accurate, consistent and timely information.
The Equipment Performance Module facilitates the collection of structured
operator feedback on production events and their causes via the.NET
based Utilization/OEE control. This valuable information is made available
to plant decision-makers through a range of reports and data displays such
as Pareto charts and ArchestrA graphics in InTouch.
ArchestrA Event Objects are easy to create and deploy. Display the
frequency and type of equipment events in context with the production
schedule, production order or production shift.

KEY CAPABILITIES
Real-Time Visibility
Total Cost of Ownership
ADVANTAGES
ArchestrA graphics displaying event data can be easily assembled into
equipment performance KPI dashboards, which can then be deployed to
InTouch 10.0 operator screens or the Web. Operators can track and display
information related to production efficiency by product, equipment, line
or shift. Production targets can be easily configured and displayed relative
to actual production. Powerful real-time dashboards are visible to virtually
anyone in the plant — saving time and money.
ArchestrA application object technology facilitates quick changes or
additions to system capabilities, without extensive engineering changes.
This approach decreases implementation and maintenance costs, and
accelerates project schedules. The pre-configured data and graphical
objects delivered with the Equipment Performance Module provide a
powerful head-start in creating an equipment performance management
solution for your facility.
ARCHITECTURE
The Equipment Performance Module runs on the
Wonderware System Platform, the common strategic
platform for networked Supervisory HMI, SCADA, and
Production and Performance Management solutions and
Wonderware Factelligence technology. It is composed of
the following major components.
FACTELLIGENCE EQUIPMENT
PERFORMANCE SERVICES
Utilization Manager
The Utilization Manager provides:
Equipment event definitions and categories
Powerful logic engine which automatically captures
information on equipment performance and
downtime events
OEE calculations and information on equipment
performance, availability and quality
Enhanced Localization — Configuration, Reason
Codes, Local Nomenclature
Factelligence Utilization/OEE Controls are customizable
.NET controls which can be integrated into Wonderware
InTouch 10.0 HMI screens to provide an easy and
convenient way for collecting operator feedback and
qualifying and categorizing slowdowns and stoppages.
EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE EXAMPLES
