Collects information from the production
line (existing machines and/or operator stations), auto generate reports
and alarms. Information can also be shared with maintenance terminals
and office terminals. You
get ...
|
On-line production status |
If you have more than 10
machines, it is difficult to keep yourself informed on the status
of all the machines. Keping uptodate with all machines
status used to be impractical. Now, it is possible and
there is a lot of advantage to keep yourself uptodate with the
latest machine status. It is a new form of control.
The faster you recognise problems, the lesser time is clocked
under "down time". This saves a lot of money, in terms
of machine investment-utilisation, production bottlenecks and
etc. |
|
Auto-generate reports |
How many people is involved
in producing shift, daily, weekly and monthly report ?
GME's CIM replaces all the manpower required to do manual data
capturing, counting, analyzing, formating and printing documents.
What is the integrity of those reports ? Manual processing
always produces low integrity data. With the CIM, you
get consistently high integrity reports which are generated
on time, paperless (optional) and lower cost. Unlike some
other CIM systems, GME's CIM can fully customize to your existing
report formats. If you used MS Excel, GME's CIM can generate
MS Excel report for you. In fact, you can ask for more.
You can have your reports to be on the intranet, which can be
browsed by internet browsers like Netscape Navigators and Internet
Explorers. Or you can opt to send reports directly to
the end-user using emails. |
|
Situation alarm |
You can set criterias where
alarm can be generated. If QC has over-used the machines,
an email can be sent to the production manager. If QC
was not done, an email can be sent to the QC manager.
If a serious event occurred, siren lamp and sound can be actuated.
The alarm can be in many forms: email, sound, phone, lights,
switches, etc. |
|
Measurable performance |
Do your company practices
improvement projects ? With CIM, you can measure the performance
before and after the project was implemented. All data
protray the unbiased conclusions of your projects. When
you change products or mahines, you can measure the effect of
the changes. CIM is the perfect answer to SPC implementation. |
With your own intranet server, you
can gain access to shared information without having to pay heavily
on client licenses and without requiring you to upgrade your PCs to
the latest technology to use applications.

The cost depends on the specification
very much. We will do all the investigation and give you the
actual cost. The minimum cost of such a system is USD 20,000.00
(software and hardware). Surprised ? Don't believe it
? We can prove it. You
see, CUSTOMIZATION do NOT necessarily EXPEN$IVE. It all depends
on requirements. We don't give you redundant features and
functions. In fact, you save even more as learning curve is
much shorter as the system is made to suit your situation.
The way you like it.

A microcontroller / PC / PLC is
connected to each production machine or operator work station.
These controllers collect information directly from the machine or
from the operator using keypad / card reader (barcode, magnetic strip,
smart card). The system collects several basic information:
Machine, Event, Product, Operator, Time. These information are
then summarised to generate reports by the server. The information
is made available to the end users via FTP, Intranet homepages, Email,
formatted files (like MS Excel, MS Word, etc). Alarms can be
generated to inform end-users when user-defined criterias (specific
situations) are met.
