Release 2.3
Working closely with our customers allows us to see first-hand how innius is applied to different businesses. This has directly led us to identify several improvements which we’re pleased to announce in this release as new features.
New Batch Details report
Once again, we are pleased to launch another report to analyze production. This time the ‘Batch Details report’. This shows the details relating to a specific batch, and so differs from the ‘Batch report’ announced in release 2.1, which provides an overall comparison of different batches.
With this report it is possible to analyze each batch in greater detail and to filter the data based on recipe. For each batch you can select the applicable sensors to give you the right insights, such as the duration of each production step taken to produce the batch. It therefore becomes immediately clear which step has taken most production time.
Time-based sensors
Some data is primarily governed by time. For that we’ve created a forth type of sensor: ‘Time-based sensors’. This allows sensor values to be pre-defined and relayed at specific times.
For example, a Production Manager might want to monitor the energy usage of a production line in relation to the electricity cost. In addition to physical sensors which monitor usage, data also needs to be generated to reflect the cost. This changes at set times, and therefore a time-based sensor can be used to predefine the data for peak and off-peak times. The data is then relayed at those times like a normal sensor, with no need for an extra physical sensor, or writing of a script.
Counter option for OEE calculation
A new feature for the OEE configuration is the option to use counter sensors to register the actual machine performance. Again, this feature is derived directly from our contact with users, where it was seen that counter sensors as opposed to rate sensors are often the physical sensors used.
Auto-update in the Operations app
Tile values in the Operation app now update automatically and across devices. This means that if more than one device is being used to submit values for manual sensors for the same machine, all tiles are automatically kept up to date with the latest values, even if the submission was on another device.
Automatic control of manual sensors
Another improvement is that manual sensors can now be automatically controlled by defining them as an output in a script. An example use case is that standstill reasons can be automatically reset when a machine starts production again.
