Manufacturing SCADA
Mobile SCADA means rapid response to production downtime
All areas of manufacturing – discrete or process – rely on complex automation. Lean, six sigma, just-in time – the end goal is the same – to produce consistently high quality products, cost effectively and quickly.
System downtime can have a catastrophic impact, but in many cases, this is an inevitable part of production. The ability to respond quickly to reduce system downtime is therefore essential and as a manufacturing SCADA system, EXTEND7000 plays an important role in achieving this.
EXTEND7000 is a mobile SCADA and mobile maintenance system. It is being used across all areas of manufacturing to enable automated systems to be monitored, controlled and maintained using ordinary mobile devices. Capable of scaling to monitor hundreds of thousands of system parameters (tags), EXTEND7000 manufacturing SCADA systems can monitor a wide range of data sources including existing SCADA systems, PLCs, maintenance applications and databases.
Eliminate paperwork and streamline maintenance
As a mobile user interface to a host plant maintenance system, EXTEND7000 keeps the host system up-to-date and eliminates paperwork. Fully integrated with manufacturing mobile SCADA, engineers are equipped with a single mobile tool to process planned work orders, receive automated alert notifications, and perform fault diagnosis.
Rapid return on investment
SCHAD is working with a wide range of manufacturers for whom EXTEND7000 as a manufacturing SCADA system is having a significant impact, reducing unscheduled downtime by as much as 60%.
