Monitoring Module
Registered machines can be monitored simultaneously in real time. Details of running or completed recipes on the selected machine, alarms, manual operations and the temperature/time chart can be tracked.
Overview
Focus Enterprise is a software solution that enables central monitoring of dyehouse machines and more controlled management of plant processes. Its client/server architecture supports multi-user operation and its secure data storage protects production information.
The software brings the core needs of dyehouse automation together in a single central system with monitoring, program editor, reporting, machine registration, remote monitoring, planning and user permission modules.
Modules
Program Editor
Dyeing programmes can be created according to machine and recipe properties. Programmes can be transferred between registered computers, reducing the need to write the same programme separately for each device.
Reporting Module
Machine utilisation and capacity reports, operator reports, alarm reports, consumption reports and cost reports can be produced. Report formats can be customised to plant needs.
Machine Module
Machines installed at the plant can be registered, their properties defined, and machines grouped together.
Remote Monitoring Support
A plant with Focus installed can be monitored over the internet. Remote access to reports allows plant performance and efficiency to be tracked online.
Planning Module
Machine operations can be planned in advance. Thanks to the real-time connection, the plan can adjust automatically according to the status of running programmes and be tracked on a time-based bar chart.
User Module
Its multi-user structure allows user permissions to be set individually per module. Detailed application reports can be produced per user.
System Integration
Can work integrated with other plant systems. The chemical automation connection helps meet machines' real-time chemical demands quickly.
Highlights
Real-Time Monitoring
All registered machines in the dyehouse can be monitored simultaneously. Running recipes, alarms, manual operations and temperature/time charts are tracked from a central screen.
Advanced Reporting
Capacity, operator, alarm, consumption and cost reports allow plant processes to be analysed more clearly and improvement decisions taken more soundly.
Planning Support
Machine operations can be scheduled along a timeline. Deviations and programme status can be tracked visually to increase production efficiency.
