MIM.365 vs. Epicor Connected Process Control

Effective connectivity plays a vital role in the success of any initiative, which is why we are streamlining the process for your convenience. All production data points, such as cycle times, faults, measured values, and vibrations, are smoothly incorporated into the production dashboard. When a message is identified, it is instantly transmitted to the database, where the relevant data point is established and linked within the dashboard. By employing industrial protocols like Profinet, Profibus, OPC UA, and various databases, we can directly retrieve data from the machine's PLC. This information is then quickly processed through the master data management system, eliminating the need for extra engineering work. It is crucial for information to be displayed in an easily understandable format, and our dashboards are meticulously crafted to provide this clarity. Whether you're looking for insights on an individual machine, a collection of machines, an entire facility, or your whole organization, the information is uniformly processed using the same calculation algorithms to ensure consistency. This methodology guarantees that decision-makers are equipped with real-time data, significantly improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Additionally, this proactive approach allows teams to identify areas for improvement and adapt strategies accordingly.
