PLANT OPERATOR INTERFACING

F.A.S.T Automation can save your organization money by improving your existing operator interfaces. This can be done with a number of different technologies. Do not allow machines to be difficult to operate. Reduce your set-up times. Improve downtime with diagnostic information. Improve reliability with less wiring & reduced moving parts. Improve ergonomics and therefore operator attitudes. Implementing core modular operator interfacing systems across the plant can reduce the need for specialized staff and associated problems. Touch-screen, touch-pad, MIMICS & pushbuttons to all IP ratings from all manufacturers can be implemented quickly to your benefit now.

ALARM / FAULT ANNUNCIATORS

Most possible failures can be automatically detected. The failure can be annunciated and logged in various ways to give very rapid rectification. The information gathered can minimize downtime due to common problems being highlighted and dealt with permanently. The level of information provided in the annunciation can also maximize production. For example, if a sensor fails, relevant technical services could be paged, a screen could display a map detailing the exact location of the sensor, the part number, the stock number, the supplier, a description of the replacement procedure, a reminder of relevant safety issues, subsequent consequences of the failure, who to notify etc.

REPORT GENERATORS

Systems can be easily configured to serve reports automatically, in whatever format is required e.g. DBF, XLS, at whatever frequency is required. The reports can then be manipulated by non-technical staff (in their favorite environment) to focus on whatever information they require at any time. Reports are obviously very powerful tools in a productivity-focused environment.

LIVE GRAPHICAL PLANT PERFORMANCE DATA

F.A.S.T Automation implements systems to show previous and real time production figures in infinite graphical formats. Trends are extremely useful for improving productivity by highlighting lulls in performance, and giving benchmarks for satisfactory results. This in real-time will allow action to be taken.

Whatever your needs are, we can design a SCADA system to suit them.
