Software integrates production scheduling, PLCs
Software brings the capability to read real-time production data from sensors and controls and automatically re-schedule jobs around contingencies in production at plant level.
The Giraffe Scheduling System is an integrated software suite, which automates manufacturing resource planning and production control through plant simulation and process modelling, said Giraffe.
The system includes modules for optimised capacity planning, optimised resource planning, production process control and optimised machine scheduling.
The Giraffe Scheduling System v5.0 is said to offer fully automated re-scheduling based on actual production output - from real-time data from machine sensors and controls.
Major brands of PLCs and drivers are said to be accommodated including Siemans, Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc and Omron.
Integration and networking is through industrial-ethernet connectivity, a Citrix Server and Microsoft XML, UML and.NET technology.
