Working with PlantLogic – Service and Support
Services are provided on a Time and Materials basis with variable rates per skill set or as a Fixed Price contract.
Flexible Batching Made Simple. In today’s competitive manufacturing world, it is rare to dedicate one set of batching or blending equipment to production of a single product. Proprietary advantage is won by companies who can produce a consistent product then, efficiently change over to a different product without having to reprogram their control equipment or redefine their process Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
PlantLogicsm Batching Software enables your process team to set up and run any Ingredient in any order and also enables the set up and run of any Operation in any order. Having many of the advantages of the ISA S88 standard with browser-based recipe management and batch record reporting. All with a fraction of the cost of off-the-shelf S88 batching packages and with little training required for your plant personnel.
The software design was driven by our customer’s requests for, “A Flexible Batching system that requires little or no training and is maintainable by the plant right from its installation”. Some production facilities have learned that packaged batching software is can be quite expensive and can quickly become “shelfware” due to its insurmountable learning curve.

In Summary:
When considering an Manufacturing Execution System (MES) , think beyond the ability to capture raw production data in real time and consider how you will use and display the data. In addition to empowering production management with metrics, you can also empower your production teams with those metrics. Think real-time production schedules, in-progress shift or line advancement toward those goals, HR and training materials, and any messaging or media presentations management schedules to share. The PlantLogic Display I.T. application can make that happen, and your authorized personnel can edit what information in displayed directly from their browser. See below for format listings you can plug right in.
The PlantLogic Display I.T. System will display information from a variety of sources, sequentially, in round-robin rotation fashion. As this is a display system, for each file format, you provide the application used with file type and the PlantLogic Display System includes the readers or embedded viewers for each file type.
Included | File format supported |
Direct Spreadsheet (Microsoft .XLS file, or equivalent). | |
Embedded Document Viewer (Microsoft Word .DOC file or equivalent). | |
Direct Report text (Microsoft Notepad .TXT file or equivalent). | |
Direct Message text entered manually (e.g. “Happy Thanksgiving!”) | |
Direct Portable Document Format (Adobe .PDF file or equivalent). | |
Direct Presentation (Power Point .PPT file or equivalent). | |
Database data (embedded viewer for table data from Oracle, Microsoft SQL, etc.) | |
Web pages (.HTML, PHP, .NET or equivalent) (e.g. www.weather.com) | |
Images (.BMP, .GIF, .JPG or equivalent) | |
Web embedded video media (FLV, MP4, MP3, AVI or equivalent) |
The Display System Configuration Utility, allows the operator to select and configure the information to be shown on each individual display in your manufacturing facility (example: one in production, another in packaging, the lunch room.). The configuration is easily accomplished by the user through a simple web page. The Display System Configuration Utility is accessible from any computer in your facility using a Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser and a secure password for security.
During configuration, the user may add as many items to the display list as desired, limited only by the amount of storage space available. For each item, the user also specifies the duration (in seconds) for the item to remain on screen, before the system automatically advances to the next item in the display list.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is often one of the first Manufacturing Execution System (MES) applications selected by companies to monitor their production efficiency. We design, develop and deploy MES software solutions from Parsec Automation, Inductive Automation and GE Fanuc software, as well as PlantLogic Microsoft SQLServer/.Net solutions. We will help you to make the right choice for your manufacturing needs.
All of these MES solutions can be “Truly Integrated”:
One key path for communication is real-time and bi-directional to programmable controllers, distributed control systems and microprocessor based machine controllers. Another path of information exchange is with ERP financial software using specified and configured tools. Deployment need not disrupt production.
Secure and straightforward access to production information by operators, production managers and executives.
Formatted reports, graphs and dashboards. Powerful yet simple to use. In-house staff can be capable of making changes and configuring reports with minimum essential training.
Once installed, the revision level is capable of running for five years with no major version changes. The software handles new line or unit addition.
Whether you use Wonderware Intouch, Rockwell FactoryTalk View, GE Proficy iFix or any one of a number of SCADA/HMI packages, the communication to the database is directly to the PLC. Your OEE and downtime database and reporting features are independent of the SCADA/HMI.
For use in solar, machine control and process control applications, PlantLogicSM Collect I.T. is a secure, compact data acquisition appliance that provides communication between local plant floor or field controllers and a Manufacturing Information Database Server (MIDS) for storage, retrieval and reporting. The MIDS can be set up within your plant network or cloud based.
Collect I.T. has store and roll forward functionality and it pre-configured for applications in recipe management, batch reporting, and monitoring of selected parameters.
