Features of Proficy Plant Applications

screenshot-Predix-MES-efficiency-management-v2-1792x1280.png

Efficiency management

The Efficiency Management module tracks and monitors overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and other critical key performance indicators, downtime, waste, and production counts, MTBF, MTTR, and more.

 

  • Automatically or manually associate events with causes and then analyze to identify root causes
  • Summarize and analyze data by context
  • Correlate events and reasons to actual production parameters. Utilize standard & ad-hoc reports, and dashboards for real-time decisions

 

Explore the importance of OEE and close the productivity gap.

Production OEE software | overall equipment effectiveness | GE Digital screenshot

Cloud OEE

Cloud OEE from GE Digital is a powerful operations management solution that reduces costs to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and accelerates results.

 

This cloud-based solution collects and analyzes data, and helps manage highly automated, fast-moving processes as well as slower moving, labor-intensive jobs.

 

Proven and developed for 25+ years with thousands of implementations around the world, GE’s leading Proficy manufacturing solutions are now available as a managed service, hosted in the cloud. Choose cloud only or mix cloud and on-prem MES to meet your enterprise needs.

Proficy Plant Applications 2022 | Production Management and Tracking software

Production management & tracking

Define and revision control the route and operations required to make a specific product on a specific line. The Production Management module oversees production operations, including functions to control product flow between equipment, develop product genealogy reports, and make schedule changes to reduce excess inventory. It supports production schedule execution and product tracking against scheduled completion times with adjustments to optimize efficiencies.

 

Production management supports full traceability of individual products through every step of the manufacturing process allowing for auditable genealogy and production reporting.

screenshot-quality-management-PA-1792x1280-v2.png

Quality management

The Quality Management module ensures consistent quality in your products, providing real-time trends, statistics, SPC, and notifications to control quality levels. It integrates process, inspection, and test data from both manual and automated sources and houses this information in one, integrated place – including support for 21 CFR Part 11.

 

Quality Management also attaches operator comments, specifications, recipes, and procedure documents to this information.

 

 

screenshot-batch-analysis-1792x1280

Batch analysis

With our unique layered applications approach and interface to standards-based commercially available batch execution systems, the Batch Analysis module is a great fit for both new and existing systems. It supports ISA-88 recipe analysis for products as formulation (BOM), procedures, and equipment.

 

Batch Analysis also provides analysis of scheduled and completed recipes and generates electronic batch records (EBR) to help increase the overall quality and consistency of products.

Quick Start for OEE

Achieve faster time to value with OEE visualization through expert implementation services, trusted deployment, and reliable training.  

Testimonials

Proficy Plant Applications is taking us to the next phase of our migration to a single shop floor MES. We are excited and already setting up the integrations to our Oracle ERP which will make this a truly enterprise application. The expanded Non-Conformance capabilities will allow us to further consolidate our quality applications into Plant Applications which in turn allows us to achieve our goal of minimizing the number off applications on the shop floor. The new receiving capability will allow us to expand our receiving inspection and sampling capabilities all in one system. The continued evolution and new web displays will allow our shop floor employees to work more efficiently and with better quality in their jobs. We are in the middle of a complete redesign of our Supply Chain to modernize our platforms and consolidate those applications, and Proficy Plant Applications will be a pillar in that system.

We found that as the years went on, we were collecting more and more big data. And we were able to utilize a lot of tools from GE Digital to analyze that data and turn ourselves into an algorithmic-type organization.

One of the reasons for choosing Proficy was that it is an open system that can be directly integrated with our other systems.

What is of greatest significance is that we now know what is wrong with the line. Thanks to automatic registration of stoppages, we know their causes and how much time they actually consume.

Data is really important to us to improve stability of the operation. GE provided the most complete software suite for our needs.
