Improvement Loop by
–
Providing a web portal for exposing data collected by Xfactory
in a meaningful way for making important business decisions.
– Enhancing connectivity to allow interoperability with real-time
process data from a wide variety of data sources such as
barcode readers and shop floor equipment.
– Extending the interconnectivity of the system to other ERP and
PLM systems through the PLM/ERP Connector allowing
information to be shared with other business systems.
– Adding core functionality to the Xfactory engine to allow the
simultaneous processing of multiple WIPs and easier access to
Xproperties reducing custom code programming and
maintenance.
Xfactory 3.5 Major Components
 Xfactory Portal
 Connection Builder
 Connection Manager
 PLM/ERP Connector (ISA S95)
 Core Enhancements
Xfactory Portal
 The Xfactory Portal is a Tecnomatix web
application built upon Microsoft's Reporting
Services that allows users to view, navigate and
manage the analysis of critical manufacturing
data through individually rendered web-based
reports.
Xfactory Portal (continued)
 Based on Microsoft
Reporting Services
 User configurable
WEB interface
 Application groups for
specific data analysis
 Supports custom
analysis using reports
built with Microsoft
Visual Studio .Net
2003
 User security
 Individual user
configuration
Application Groups
 Application
groups used
to categorize
analysis into
functional
areas.
– Defects
– Equipment
– Inventory
– Production
Xfactory Portal Features
 Provides an easy to use framework for
managing personalized views of Xfactory
information by allowing the user to create
linked reports from supplied base application
analysis reports with personalized parameters.
 Relative and absolute date range support
 Linked navigation from one report to another
 Simplified user report distribution
 Graphical charting and matrices
Report Personalization
 Once reports have been
made available to users,
the report parameters
can be personalized and
saved in user defined
folders for viewing.
Report Distribution
 Reports can be
exposed to users
on a report by
report basis by
linking base reports
to user accounts.
This enables
company sensitive
reports to be
exposed to only the
proper personnel.
Report Types
 Charts
– Bar, Column,
Line, Pie,
Scatter, Bubble,
Area, Doughnut
and Stock
 Drillthrough
analysis
Shop Floor Interoperability
 Connection Builder
–
Configuring a connection to an
OPC device or barcode readers
without coding
– Allow the configuration of other
data sources easily
 Connection Manager
–
Control panel to monitor the
connections to equipments
– Runs as a unattended Windows
service to reduce TCO
– .Net plug-in modules for sources
and actions to enable wide
customization
– Debug environment
