Real time production monitoring and workshop management software

Monitor production in real time in order to collect manufacturing data. Production indicators are available in real time, giving an overview of yield rates (OEE) and the relevance of the action plans implemented. Control your manufacturing process and improve the performance of your production units.

Presentation

Collect workshop data and monitor the manufacturing process

  • The times
  • The events
  • The quantities / meters
  • The material consumption
  • The traceability (production context, reading…)
  • Scrap recording
  • Identification of scrap causes
  • Scrap analysis
  • Scrap rate
  • Link to the non-conformities and corrective actions module
  • Batch number recording
  • Bar code label management
  • Recording of material non-conformities

In order to limit manual inputs in QUASAR-FAB, an interface with your ERP / CAPM is available. The update is both upward and downward.

QUASAR-FAB allows the collection of workshop data in real time. This data will be valuable indicators to limit your machine downtime and reduce your costs. This module offers significant time gains and avoids re-entering errors. Its implementation is a genuine asset in the context of a continuous improvement process.

3 workshop data acquisition methods

QS-fab uses an smart input/output card with automatic counting on the machine. It is counted by collecting the data, but it is also possible to send information to the machine (for example for a machine blockage). Automatic acquisition makes it possible to retrieve machine reports, meter values, etc.…

  • Two-way communication
  • Input/Output card mode

This communication method allows applications to connect with PLCs from a standardized interface. QS-fab can thus retrieve all the information provided by the PLC with a much more detailed level of information.

  • OPC Mode

The system can directly retrieve workshop data in real time from your Information System via an interface.

  • Database Mode

Real time workshop management

All the actors have dashboards at their disposal in order to control variations of the production means as quickly as possible and thus anticipate costly downtime. Production information is displayed in the workshop to guide operators.
  • OEE
  • Scrap rate
  • Plan / Quantity / Goal
  • Remaining quantity to produce
  • Production lead-time
  • Web Dashboards
  • Workshop overview to monitor the equipment
  • Integrated BI module (Business Intelligence) for more accurate analyses
  • Display of indicators in the workshops intended for operators (quantities to complete, objectives, etc.)
  • Alerts management (quantities, frequencies…)
  • Instruction sheets
  • Activation “blockage” output
  • Flash alerts
  • Bar graph or table representation

Production planning

The QUASAR-FAB scheduling feature provides a Gantt chart on which are positioned the operations to schedule. 

  • Schedule production operations
  • Monitor the progress of operations in real time
  • View operations in the form of labels
BT - 1705 -001
Progress 25%
BT - 402 -003
Progress 65%
L’ordonnancement est une notion importante du pilotage d’atelier car il permet de coordonner la production et de réduire les retards. L’objectif est d’optimiser les délais, moyens et coûts tout en gardant un bon niveau de qualité.

Make documentation available

Les documents peuvent être accessibles en temps réel et l'atelier tend ainsi vers le 0 papier. Le fait de garantir la bonne version d'un document répond aux exigences qualité.

Digitization is an essential component of the Factory 4.0. The documentation must be digitized in order to be made available to the operator in real time and in the correct version.

  • View of the documentation on the operator workstation (plan, operating procedure, machine documentation, etc.)
  • Operator guidance through supports available on the workstation
  • Management of document versions in order to make available the right versions

Monitor quality during the production process

The QUASAR MES suite offers a complete range of quality modules. There are many links between the different modules in order to benefit from this functional richness.

QUASAR has included a quality management module in its workshop management module. This optional quality management system allows to monitor the quality level during the manufacturing process.

Its use can range from a simple measurement to ensure traceability to real-time detection of SPC variations. In any case, its implementation increases the reliability of your production and allows you to better meet the ever-increasing requirements of your customers.

  • Inspection plan management
  • Multi-mode acquisition
  • Analysis and indicators (Cp, Cpk)

The grinding management integrated !

The purpose of QS-fab’s grinding option is to reduce the risk of producing non-conforming parts due to the cutting tool.

The grinding management includes all the steps of your activity for the monitoring of tools (control, grinding, replacement, alert, history and traceability). Thanks to the grinding management, you can manage your tool replacements and stock management processes while boosting your auto-control in production.

Towards Industry 4.0 !​

Industry 4.0, factory of the future, smart factory… These terms have become central in the production environment. M.E.S. tools must help companies become smarter, more agile… Digital continuity, collaborative management…

The digital revolution that runs through the entire company highlights the value of data which is no longer stored for possible future justification needs. Today, this data is analyzed and enhanced throughout the production chain. It has become the vital energy of the integrated factory and the digital company.

Throughout the different industrial revolutions, man has always maintained a key role by continuously adapting to each period. This is still true within the factory 4.0 which marks a new industrial revolution.
