SILC  

  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

    The OEE is a key concept for the management of production.

    The TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), one of the possible calculations of OEE, is now a new function added to SILC.

    SILC allows you to know output and losses on lines in real time.
    The TPM offers a finer analysis of the state of production: the losses are automatically detected and the Operator justifies the reason, with 3 possible levels of details.

    When it is connected to SILAcq, the TPM can detect breakdowns or alarms coming from the equipment such as stackers, coating, lehr...
    You can watch equipment breakdown history with justification for every anomaly on SILC screen.

    TECHNO


    The SIL communicates with several devices for glass thickness measurement.
    In the laboratory, MagnaMike 8500 and MBT7400 from AGR, for instance, can be connected to the SIL.
    On line, one of the most common equipment is OLT machine from AGR.
    The SIL can get inputs for inspected and rejected items on the 4 different channels.
    For the OLT machines equipped with  WTSI option, or for HSOLT, measurements are sent with RS422 cable. 

    VMA optical captors mounted on M SGCC machines, or IM Veritas, send thickness measurements in real time for each mould, enabling the SIL to display the glass distribution directly on SIL HE screens.

    The same possibility is proposed with MSC thickness captors.

What's new ?


In September 2009, Vertech' equipped its first Ukrainian plant in Zorya. 
The SIL system has already been installed in Russia, Bulgaria and Romania. With the Ukrainian plant, Vertech' strengthens its position within Eastern countries.

The installation of the SIL system in Zorya went perfectly well, and was made in the best possible conditions, thanks to the excellent welcome granted to the system by our Client.

The SIL was installed in Russian for the operators and in English for the managers of the plant.
