Plant Operation Center (POC)

Tailored software solutions for spinning and texturing plants

Increasing the efficiency of the entire plant – this and not less was the demand leading to the development of general, scalable software solutions for the different production fields. They provide the entire know-how to textile producing companies according to their demands.

POC - Plant Operation Center - is the all-embracing workflow management system. It is designed to detect and optimize the production processes within a production stage, e.g. spinning, or over all production stages - starting with the raw material up to the end product.

With the new modular POC concept:

• central plant operation is possible
• only required modules need to be purchased
• future extension of additional modules is possible
• later update of software modules is possible

Features:

• POC User Management (plant wide administration of the user accounts)
• POC Shift Management (administration of the plant wide shift calendar)
• POC Recipe Management (plant wide management of recipes)
• POC Plant Overview (information about the machine status)
• POC Trending (display of important process signals over a time axis)
• POC Job Reports (up-to-date and exact summary of all manufacturing jobs in the line)
• POC Reports & Statistics (information about the accumulated production results)
• POC Alarm Management (plant wide chronological log of all machine and position related stopping codes and events)
• POC Sampling (manual or scheduled sample declaration)
• POC Scheduled Operations (plant wide overview about scheduled and non-routine activities at a spinning machine)
• POC Label Center (system to design and print labels automatically or on demand)
• POC Key Performance Indicators (makes the main KPI's available to mobile devices within the customer's intranet)
• POC ODBC Interface (read only access to doff data)
• POC OPC Interface (read only access to online data)
• POC Interface to ERP (forwards the data of already finished manufacturing jobs to ERP system)

The Plant Operation Center supports access via desktop, web, and mobile/handheld.
