Digital Factory
Innovation and Technology at the service of industry 4.0.
FactoryLogix® is the global platform developed by Aegis Industrial Software Corporation. It particularly blends knowledge and experience with innovation and IoT technologies developed to support especially Industry 4.0.
A state-of-the-art solution, built with easily configurable modules to support especially companies in the management of the entire production cycle. Introduction and launch of new products, planning, management and execution of operations, materials logistics, quality management and real-time analysis tools.
FactoryLogix® is a MES system that manages, monitors and synchronizes in real time the execution of physical processes. It involves the transformation of raw materials into semi-finished and/ or finished products. The MES is able to dialogue particularly with business management systems (ERP), with software for product lifecycle management (PLM). It lastly acquire data from machines and from this interaction it is possible to plan and coordinate the execution of production orders. Finally, the MES application provides feedback on process performance. It supports in detail component and material traceability, product genealogy, and process history.
WhyFactoryLogix®
cost reduction strategy and evaluation
With more than 2000 installations worldwide it is a solution that integrates in detail all the typical aspects of production. It transforms it in any case into a truly adaptive environment. Then interconnected with production machinery and integrated with business management systems. In conclusion it is able to improve the company’s performance and the quality of the final products.
The Mes system FactoryLogix compared to generic MES software has over 20 years of international development. With comprehensive features for manufacturers across industries. Including electronics, medical devices, aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial equipment, and consumer goods.
Modules
Applications and characteristics
NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Functionality of an MES system is measured particularly by its ability to optimize processes. It adapts them to the characteristics of the production environment. FactoryLogix® with the NPI module offers an overall package that allows the control of design CAD, to easily assign BOM components to workstations, to compile machining instructions in a guided manner, to create process templates, to plan and manage production resources.
PRODUCTION
FactoryLogix is designed to maximize the exchange of information between engineering and production. It reduces firstly paper usage and lastly control the progress of the production cycle. Module installed on production stations through an intuitive and configurable interface offers extensive functionality to assist line operators. For the purpose of allows you to enter progress checks, view assembly support information as well as digital 3D videos and models, report any problems encountered and request materials. Provides different functionality for different roles, such as managers can access traceability, view WIP updates, and authorize certain operations.
Logistic
An efficient and quality production process requires that raw materials are always available in the right place at the right time. With a stock proportionate to the capacity of suppliers. The Mes system FactoryLogix® monitors production and automatically reacts to line requests, ensuring an appropriate supply for proper production planning. Same application can be installed on touch devices in particular as tablets or handhelds. This application can be installed on touch devices such as tablets or PDAs.
ANALYTIC
The greatest value of an MES system is the information it makes available. For this reason FactoryLogix® provides an absolutely new way to collect the data that the user needs. Simultaneously configurable reports, customizable dashboards with real-time information. A mobile interfaces, allow all employees to "create" the information they need, with an intuitive and easy-to-read graphical interface.
The NPI (New Product Introduction) module offers particularly a complete set for the control of the CAD design software. Easily assigning the BOM components to the work stations, being guided into the compiling of the processing instructions, creating process templates, planning and managing the production resources.
Significantly the ability to share tasks between large groups of engineers. Above all it drastically reduces the time intercurring between research, development and production, enabling greater operational efficiency, faster decision making process, quality improvement and visibility.
This application is conceived above all to quicken the information exchange between designing and production. It firstly reduces the paper use and monitoring the productive cycle processing.
The module, installed on the work stations through a configurable and user-friendly interface offers a wide variety of possibilities. Assists the line operators. Especialy allows to display the support information for the assembly. It is paired with video and digital 3D models. Reports any problem occurring during the assembly process or the repairing and request materials.
A single interface which guarantees simplicity, efficiency and cost control.
An efficient and high-quality production process requires that raw materials are always available in the right place at the right time, with a stock proportionate to the capacity of suppliers and the demand of the production line.
FactoryLogix® monitors production and automatically reacts to line requests, ensuring an appropriate supply for proper production planning.
The application can be installed on touch devices such as tablets or PDAs, allowing speed of operations and convenience for operators.
The greatest value of a MES system is the information it makes available, therefore FactoryLogix provides a form to organize the data that the user needs in a simple and easy way. Graphical Reports and charts that - configurable not only by the IT office - allow management to immediately receive the information they need while automatic notifications facilitate the work of management and quality staff.
The Dashboards allow to show in real time the development of the lines, while the alarms promptly notify managers and maintenance workers in the event of line stops or failures.
The add-on module for Quality management amplifies the potential of the Production and Analytics modules, allowing management of Non-Conformities and taking corrective actions according to the CAPAS and FRACAS methodologies
For the purposes of connectivity and the circulation of information, the MES allows to collect data from production lines and machines through generic or specific integrations for the different equipment manufacturers, to use OPC UA connections to facilitate the exchange of data between logic controllers programmable (PLC) and human-machine interfaces (HMI) and to fully exploit the potential of the protocol
IPC CFX.
xTend: SYSTEM-TO-SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The integrations allow you to dynamically transfer data to and from ERP business management systems and systems for managing the life cycle of PLM products.
Using the IPC CFX protocol, Canavisia IoT devices integrate perfectly with the FactoryLogix system and allow even older machinery to transmit data on consumption and production flows in a non-invasive way.
Canavisia is the official distributor for the Italian market of the FactoryLogix® MES developed by Aegis Industrial Software Corporation.
