Improves Plant Performance

Today, boosting efficiency is a key challenge in the glass production industry. In order to optimise  decisive cost and performance  factors such as PTT (pack to time)or mould lifetimes, you need an overview of all relevant production data

The Heye PlantPilot is the tool to help group directors, plant managers, department managers and operators keeping their eyes on the maximum plant efficiency. The powerful information system collects data from both the Hot and Cold End. This important information about the production and inspection process is evaluated and presented in a clearly laid out way. Thus the Heye PlantPilot supports you to achieve the highest quality production, avoiding cost- increasing disturbances.
 

Information Transfer

The Heye PlantPilot matches together all relevant production information in real time. As a result, the system gives a com- plete overview of production performance. The data collected includes such sources as the laboratory, the article counter, inspection machines, the IS-Machines and input added by the operator.

Dashboard
The dashboard is the central screen of the information system. It is designed to provide the user with all relevant data at a glance. Thumbnails give you a brief overview. The different areas can be expanded for more details.
The efficiency graph function shows you production efficiency for the past 24 hours, split as Hot End and Cold End efficiency. You can check the current status as well as the expected future trend.
Furthermore, the dashboard informs you about defects which are either reported by operators or detected by inspection machines. You get a quick overview of the section status, the inspection machines and rejection rates.

Maintenance Shop
Obtaining precise information about the ideal time of mould, variables and wear part exchanges is a key factor for costs optimisation. The Maintenance shop function helps you to keep an overview of all part lifetimes in order to use them as longas possible, without missing the right moment for replacement.

Main Rejects
The Main Rejects function offers you an overview of the most frequent rejects in your production process, sorted by value. A very useful tool to define the ideal order of defect corrections.

Tracking and Tracing
All existing data are safely stored in a database, giving the opportunity to access information for a chosen period. This is helpful for comparisons, as well as providing proof of produc- tion quality levels for a certain moment.
