Quick and easy graphical analysis

ProView process data visu­al­iza­tion is a uni­ver­sal tool that is not tied to any spe­cif­ic plat­form, enabling effi­cient analy­sis of oper­at­ing data. It can be used on a PC in the office or on a tablet or smart­phone while on the move.

In many indus­tries, mon­i­tor­ing the mix­ing process is nec­es­sary for rea­sons of qual­i­ty assur­ance, par­tic­u­lar­ly if plants are work­ing auto­mat­i­cal­ly, with­out direct con­trol by a des­ig­nat­ed mem­ber of staff. Changes in the prop­er­ties or quan­ti­ties of raw materials/of the prod­uct, for exam­ple, result in changes in the mixer’s pow­er draw or in the mois­ture con­tent of the mix. ProView enables sim­ple and quick analy­sis of the process val­ues in such situations.

Up until now, read­ing off oper­at­ing data has been a labo­ri­ous busi­ness. In most cas­es, data from the plant con­troller can only be down­loaded using a USB stick, and the oper­a­tor is then required to import this into exist­ing pro­grams. It takes a lot of time and prac­tice before usable dis­plays and reports are achieved.

ProView process data visu­al­iza­tion makes life eas­i­er. All para­me­ters mon­i­tored by sen­sors in the plant can be viewed in detail in dia­gram­mat­ic form, on a PC in the office or using a mobile phone while on the move. The data remains in the com­pa­ny, and is stored local­ly on the machine/plant, not in a Cloud.

As brows­er-based soft­ware that is not tied to any spe­cif­ic plat­form, ProView works with any con­trollers, whether from Siemens, Rock­well or Mit­subishi. An indus­try router con­nects the world of the machine with the world of the office. Instal­la­tion on the com­pa­ny net­work is easy. The pro­gram is pre­con­fig­ured for each machine or plant, but can also be adjust­ed by the user at any time. This allows oth­er pre­sen­ta­tions and selec­tion struc­tures to be cre­at­ed to suit cus­tomer pref­er­ences. Use­ful tools such as graph­i­cal nav­i­ga­tion on the time axis, zoom and curve com­par­i­son make using the pro­gram eas­i­er. Sta­tis­ti­cal para­me­ters such as the mean and the stan­dard devi­a­tion can also be dis­played as standard.

With ProView from Eirich, easy access to real-time and also to his­tor­i­cal data becomes pos­si­ble. Infor­ma­tion is acquired that can be used direct­ly by Qual­i­ty Assur­ance, Ser­vice or Process Engi­neer­ing, and which in many instances makes opti­miz­ing pro­duc­tion flows possible.
