Enterprise - REEFT

REEFT Enterprise

Get data about your production facilities and integrate data with the ERP system and other systems in production.

REEFTvisual Enterprise is a digital solution installed in the core of your systems, monitoring your production facilities. Through start/stop time registration and analysis of production data, you get detailed knowledge of the machines’ performance and in addition, Enterprise provides the opportunity for connection to several other systems in your production.

Enterprise allows connection with your ERP system for tool control and preventive maintenance, just as you get access to accurate data for use in an OEE calculation. All of which you can read more about in the modules below.

STOP TIMES & ANALYSES

The basic functions of REEFTvisual Enterprise are start/stop time registration and analysis of production data. You will receive an automatic registration of:

Stop time basis: Automatic registration of production time and stop time by means of a signal box that is connected to the controls of the production plant.

Basic analyses: Display of collected data in number and time. Data can be displayed in a pie chart, bar chart and exported as plain text to Excel etc.

Stop causes: Custom stop causes.

Stop cause intervals: Automatic stop cause definition, e.g. with the text short, medium, long or other description.

Global stop causes: Can be specified if the stop cause is to apply to all machines.

Individual stop cause at machine level: Can be specified if the stop cause is only to be displayed on certain, specific machines. If, for example, you have many machines of the same ‘type’, but at the same time different types of machines – e.g. milling cutter, lathe, laser, etc. – it is possible to assign a stop cause to a group of machines without covering all machines or needing to create the same stop cause several times.

PRODUCTION CALENDAR

The production calendar creates an overview of your order management with information on when the orders are to be started and when they are to be completed, as well as other order information of relevance to the operator. This could be priority information, for example.

This data is typically imported from your ERP system or a production scheduling program, which means that this data does not need to be entered in several places.

ERP INTEGRATION

ERP integration allows you to exchange data between REEFTvisual and your ERP system through input and output.

ERP integration output With ERP integration output, you can import already available data from your ERP system into your REEFTvisual software. Therefore, the operator does not need to spend time looking in different systems and the creation of the different information only has to be done in one place.

ERP integration input Typically, as a production company, you will have gathered most of the information about production, products and orders in your ERP system (financial system: Navision, C5, Axapta, BC365, SAP, M3 and others). With ERP integration input, the data collected in REEFTvisual can be transferred to these programs, so you have all relevant data gathered in one place and do not have to register the data manually.

TOOL MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE

With Enterprise, you get a toolkit that allows for tool management and maintenance. You can monitor the tools you have running on your machines and can thus control the tools better, so you can avoid unforeseen breakdowns in production. With tool control, you get an overview of the individual tools, where it will appear from a list:

Which tool to use.
How much each tool has run, all the way down to the individual component of the tool.
The setup of e.g. the number of strokes the tool has run and indication of the maximum number of strokes before maintenance.
Which parts of the tool have been replaced/maintained and when.
Where the individual tool parts are in stock.
Inventory management of spare parts.

ANDON & MESSAGES

The SMS and Andon function makes internal communication in production easier. With the SMS function you get the opportunity to call an operator or give notice of e.g. various stop causes via SMS. The function requires that you as users are created with your mobile numbers and that the SMS rate is invoiced separately.

With the Andon function, you get the opportunity to create internal messages and tasks for an internal employee or for other departments in the company.

ADMINISTRATION

The administrator of your Enterprise solution has the ability to:

Name machines and set criteria for the machine.
Create different users and user rights.
Set user interface in Danish/English, depending on the user.
Set up machines and stop causes with sequences and colours.
Create user help descriptions in software for maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.
Make a pop-up window with user explanation for error or function or possibly show a video or a picture of how to solve the task.

Administration can be done via PC. Your data extracts can be stored according to your needs, as data can both run as a cloud solution or a local database, just as data can be hosted by yourself or by REEFT.

OEE

How do you calculate your OEE? OEE is summarised in a single calculation model that provides answers to how well your equipment is utilised, how efficiently the equipment runs and what product quality the equipment delivers:

Utilisation percentage x Efficiency percentage x Quality percentage

Utilisation percentage, Efficiency percentage and Quality percentage are calculated separately and then inserted in the OEE calculation model.

Calculation of utilisation as %: (Scheduled time – stop time) / Scheduled time x 100 = Utilisation percentage
Calculation of efficiency in %: (standard time x number of units produced) / (planned time – stop time) x 100 = Efficiency percentage
Calculation of quality as % ( you must provide this info yourself ): (Manufactured units – defective units) / unit qty. produced x 100 = Quality percentage.

The start/stop time data collected in REEFTvisual can be included in the calculation of Utilisation. If you have a unit counter on the machine, we can use this data to calculate Efficiency. If you can deliver data for Quality either automatically or manually, then it is possible to calculate a true OEE calculation. How high should your OEE score be? A score of 100% OEE is considered a perfect production, which means that the production or machine only produces good items as quickly as possible and without downtime. In practice, an OEE of 85% is considered world-class production. Lower OEE values such as 60% or 40% are not uncommon, but such values indicate significant room for improvement in the processes.

IMPLEMENTATION

The first step in the implementation of REEFTvisual in your company is a dialogue between you and REEFT’s experts. Together, we describe the task and find the right solution for you. We establish an implementation plan with testing, training and installation of new hardware and software. REEFTvisual Enterprise consists of hardware, software and a database:

The hardware is a signal box that can be connected to almost all types of production machines and collects data on the operation and characteristics of the individual machine.
The software can collect data on how long the machine has been running and how many units it produces etc. (if the machine is able to give a counter signal).
All data is collected in a REEFT database.

Based on the collected data, you can perform efficiency and performance measurements and easily and quickly get an accurate real-time view of the machines’ condition and shape. By setting up several signal boxes on one or more production lines, you can combine data and get a detailed view of the production.

Enterprise is a needs-oriented solution, as the different connections depend specifically on the needs that exist in your production.

In collaboration with you, we organise which solutions provide the greatest possible value regarding production planning and order management.
