Tuning your production process

If you’re interested in tuning your production process to improve efficiency or to reduce carbon or other emissions you might want to check out this article on Manufacturing Software Today. The article discusses closed loop process control solutions offered by Tuppas Software. Tuppas is a small company that specialized in tailored system for manufacturing. The sell SPC (statistical process control) systems and the specialize in OEE reporting solutions. OEE is a reporting calculation that factors in downtime, production efficiency and quality.

Manufacturing software has come a long way over the past few years. Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation.

Manufacturing software which can be configured to suit the customer's needs in a short time frame at reasonable cost is within reach.

Another system that Tuppas offers is their Closed Loop manufacturing system. The system gathers information from programmable controls on the shop floor as well as from employees as jobs are running on the floor. The data is stored in a data structure (a historian) and can be drawn out and studied later.

Because Tuppas specializes in custom systems for manufacturing they have offered closed loop as a way to combine their reporting systems with the historian data. So as an example if you wanted to know the best way to run a given product on a given line you could ask the system to find the best historical runs of that product on that line. The system would query results that might include operation efficiency, quality or environmental data and then bring back the best runs that have happened along with the process settings that made the good runs possible.

Tuppas has even created systems that can feed the recipes back to the automation as process set points for the automation. The closed loop manufacturing solutions that Tuppas offers can be an inexpensive way to improve OEE, quality, scrap and to reduce emissions issues in some situations.
