Optimon’s Historian presents information in a meaningful and actionable way. Here are some common types of reports and charts used in Historian systems:
Optimon’s Historian capabilities stand at the forefront of transforming manufacturing insights. By seamlessly integrating with diverse manufacturing assets, providing real-time data, contextualizing information, and enabling historical and predictive analyses, it revolutionizes how manufacturing operations are managed, optimized, and evolved. As manufacturing continues its journey of innovation, Optimon’s Historian capabilities are poised to be a cornerstone of success , propelling the industry toward unprecedented levels of efficiency, quality, and competitiveness.
Time series charts are fundamental in manufacturing analytics. They display how a particular parameter changes over time. These charts are often used to monitor variables like temperature, pressure, flow rate, and other process parameters. Time series charts can reveal trends, cycles, and anomalies, helping operators and engineers identify patterns that might affect production efficiency or quality
Trend analysis reports present long-term data trends and patterns. These reports help identify gradual shifts or changes in process parameters that might not be evident from real-time monitoring alone. Engineers and managers can use trend analysis reports to make informed decisions about process optimizations, maintenance schedules, and resource allocation.
SPC charts, including control charts like X-bar and R-bar charts, are used to monitor the stability of manufacturing processes. They highlight variations in process parameters, allowing operators to quickly detect any out-of-control conditions that could lead to defects or quality issues. SPC charts are essential for maintaining consistent product quality.
Pareto charts are used to prioritize issues based on their frequency or impact. They help identify the most significant contributors to problems or inefficiencies. In manufacturing, Pareto charts can be used to pinpoint the most frequent causes of defects, downtime, or other operational challenges, enabling targeted improvement efforts.
Histograms display the distribution of a dataset. They provide insights into the range and frequency of values within a parameter. Histograms are useful for understanding the variability in manufacturing processes and identifying potential areas for improvement.
Scatter plots visualize the relationship between two variables. In manufacturing, scatter plots can help identify correlations or causations between different process parameters. For example, a scatter plot might show the relationship between temperature and product yield, revealing how changes in temperature affect the output quality.
Event analysis reports provide insights into specific events, alarms, or incidents that occurred within the manufacturing process. These reports help understand the context and impact of these events, enabling operators to take corrective actions and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Manufacturing Historians often include downtime and availability reports that show how much time equipment or processes were operational versus how much time they were inactive. These reports help identify bottlenecks, plan maintenance, and enhance overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Historian systems with predictive maintenance capabilities generate alerts or reports predicting when equipment might require maintenance. These reports are crucial for minimizing unplanned downtime and optimizing maintenance schedules.
For industries that use batch processes, Historian systems can generate reports analyzing batch data and recipe adherence. These reports help maintain consistency in product quality across different batches.
