Features of Proficy Plant Applications
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
