Before we delve into the requirements of an edge-based MES Gateway Appliance, we need to have an understanding of what "the edge" is. What defines "the edge?" Brandon provides his perspective and then his requirements for a true edge-based MES Gateway appliance. A true edge-based MES Gateway appliance must: Be reliable Communicate natively Perform data manipulation and dissemination Have data storage capabilities We explore each of these necessary conditions, why it's a requirement, and how it's beneficial.

The quality of any automated system at the plant floor level is usually made evident through the design of the human machine interface or HMI. HMIs provide a means for the machine and the human to interact - to converse. It is the very conduit by which a human can influence the machine. These systems range from hardware-based touchscreens to fully capable supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) which are largely software-based. Join us as we dive into the various features and benefits across the multiple offerings of both hardware and software-based HMI systems (OT based) and discuss when and where one may utilize a larger-scale SCADA system. Our special guest for this episode is Alan Cone . Alan is the Marketing SIMATIC WinCC Manager at Siemens. Alan provides an overview of the HMI options in the Siemens portfolio and describes the capabilities of each. Alan clarifies how a software-based HMI or soft HMI differs from the SCADA-based systems. He then illustrates the primary advantages of SCADA systems and the industries he typically sees them utilized.

Remember the refrigerator analogy? What indicators are really enough? Manufacturers are developing some fantastic capabilities for sensors that allow users to grab data without being invasive. We call it the EKG method. Condition monitoring sensors are a way to do that. Most condition monitoring systems out there are just going to alert you by sending a text or email, which is good. Why not take it to the next level? Why not take the next step by having the ability to monitor AND the ability to do something about it -- Machine to Machine Artificial Intelligence (M2M AI) . elliTek and Balluff have formed an alliance to take you to that next level. Balluff has a phenomenal condition monitoring sensor that's the size of a postage stamp, their BCM sensor . This compact sensor can monitor not just one but FOUR physical variables. elliTek's IIoTA ™ (Industrial Internet of Things Appliance) can connect directly to Balluff's BCM sensor. By using the IIoTA's drag and drop dashboard, you can display the data from your BCM sensor on any viewable device connected to the local network or a static IP address.

Comments for the proposed rule have been extended until February 22, 2021, after which the FDA is expected to issue a final rule which would go into effect 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The compliance date would be two years after that. The new requirements will have a significant impact on the food industry, especially for companies that rely on manual processes. What is the Food Safety Modernization Act ( FSMA )? Prompted by a rash of produce recalls in the early 2000s, the original act was implemented in January 2011 to help the FDA respond and control foodborne illnesses. FSMA gave the FDA more authority over recalls and also required the agency to create rules and guidance to help businesses comply. Section 204 pertains to the plans that would enhance food tracking and tracing that includes a requirement for “Additional Recordkeeping Requirements for High-Risk Foods” also known as the New Proposed Food Traceability Rule (subsection d). What is the New Proposed Food Traceability Rule? It sets new recordkeeping requirements for foods that are considered “high risk” for foodborne illness. Here are the basics. The rule establishes a Food Traceability List (FTL) that lists which foods will need additional recordkeeping. These foods were chosen based on their level of risk for carrying foodborne illnesses. The proposed requirements would only apply to the foods on the FTL. The FDA encourages the voluntary adoption of these practices industry-wide. Secondly, the rule identifies five Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) throughout the food supply chain: Growing , Receiving , Transforming , Creating , and Shipping . Each of these “events” has several Key Data Elements (KDEs) that need to be reported on. In addition to the KDE records, the proposed rule would require businesses that manufacture, process, pack or hold foods on the FTL to establish and maintain Traceability Program Records . These records help the FDA regulators understand the terminology, methods, and systems a business uses in its traceability operations. Lastly, businesses would need to make required records available to the FDA no later than 24 hours after a request. When necessary, a business would be required to provide the FDA with an electronic sortable spreadsheet containing traceability information on foods that are the focus of an FDA investigation. During this episode, we discuss the FSMA, Food Traceability List, Critical Tracking Events, Key Data Elements, and give examples. It isn't all doom and gloom, there are solutions that can help businesses navigate these proposed traceability rules which we discuss along with the ISO 22005 traceability standards .

Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Engineered elliTek's pre-engineered Smart Servo Actuators and Robotic Work cells are designed to help manufacturers save money. You do what you can do and elliTek can fill in the gaps. There are plenty of manufacturers that can program their own machines. This is a means of them being able to use their in-house capabilities to 1) reduce costs and 2) empower them to do what they can do well and leave this other stuff for whatever reason they don't want to do to elliTek. Industrial IoT - It Doesn't Have To... Be Overwhelming Industrial IoT, Industry 4.0, Digitization, Digitalization, MES, Cloud & Hosted servers, ERP, HMI, KPI, OE, OEE, OLE, OPC, OT... these are just a few industry terms and acronyms that Brandon explains for the rest of us. Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Unsecure This episode was in conjunction with Brandon's interview with Food Engineering magazine " Keeping machines and OT networks and IT safe from cyber-attacks ". We talk about cyber security including some vectors or points of entry for ransomware/malware attacks, as well as how manufacturers can protect their networks. Industrial Robotics - It Doesn't Have To... Be Complex Adding automated robotic systems to a factory can save money, create higher-quality parts, and increase production. We review the types of robots and how they're used in manufacturing. Sometimes adding an automated robotic system doesn't make sense - the wiggle jiggle example. That was Episode 6 " Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Hopeless ". Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Myopic This was another acronym filled episode. We talk about the important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) manufacturers can look at in order to get the bigger picture. Not every solution is the best solution, but sometimes it's the best for the situation. You don't have to have an automated system to get your KPIs. You can still go out with a stopwatch and measure your uptimes and downtimes and take those indications. The point is - just do it so you can make educated business decisions. Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Hopeless We review a few projects that were beneficial to our customers and why. An IoT Based project was for Traceability (also called Skip Check). The customer was thankful they didn't have to upgrade all of their equipment and legacy PLCs. The Smart Assembly Pack Out System helped a customer integrate to their ERP system. A Material Handling & Management system managed the ingredients. Lastly, we hear Brandon's Brandology about the 4 Reasons to Automate. Industrial Automation - It Doesn't Have To... Be Unpredictable For this episode, we interviewed Keary Donovan, owner of Pathways7 . We delve into Keary's academic white paper " 3 KPI Considerations for Maintenance and OEE ". Keary has a unique perspective of KPIs from a maintenance perspective.

Before making an investment in the automation of a process, there are some commonly overlooked aspects that can be forgotten, overlooked, or even disregarded. With more than 25 years experience in the industrial automation market segment, Brandon shares his knowledge and experiences so others can hopefully avoid those pitfalls. For instance, why choose a collaborative robot if you have to guard it? What's the point? What about fast cycle times? Collaborative robots can't go as fast as a person, right? You may be surprised to hear the answers. As for vision applications, they can be fraught with problems if some details are left out. You won't be surprised to hear that lighting is important for vision systems, but seasonal changes and natural lighting can play an important role as well. Brandon shares several other details that need to be considered, including cybersecurity. Brandon has seen his fair share of failed or incomplete industrial IoT systems. That's why he invented the Data Commander™ MES Appliance. During this episode, he shares some of the biggest problems that he has encountered. One of the travesties that Brandon has seen in his career is holding onto a system that doesn't work. Sometimes portions of a system can be salvaged, sometimes not. The best way to avoid the common pitfalls is to ask the vendor to show you how it works. Seeing is believing.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיSend us a text ROI - Return on Investment - pre-pandemic vs post-pandemic. How ROI looked before the pandemic is completely different in a post-pandemic world. Does your perspective on ROI need to change as well? Traditionally, the focus for production engineering was to increase production. Automation was trying to increase production which meant getting more out of the line without adding people. And, in some unfortunate instances, there were times where it reduced the number of associates. Increasing production is a good goal to have. But is it the correct goal in a post-pandemic world when labor is difficult to find? When there are lots of job openings but no applications coming in, the whole ROI has to turn on its head. In the absence of labor, the goal should be the creation of labor. It's all about survival at this point. Automation in today's world doesn't mean reducing labor; it's reclassifying the labor you already have to processes that are more expensive or impossible to automate. In the past, automation was expensive. Now as we're reemerging from the pandemic, can you afford not to automate? elliTek's mission is one of empowerment.

Listen to hear how manufacturers can use automation (and sometimes not) to overcome and succeed in a competitive market when labor can be difficult to find. elliTek's Engineers have been asked about some interesting things lately that could benefit you. Anti-air? Listen to learn what it is, why it's important, and what manufacturers can do about it. Do you remember Brandon's Brandology about the 4 reasons to automate? We review those and why you can't pick all four. There are tasks that can be automated in each department. Starting with the Office, moving to the Plant Floor, Maintenance, and then the IT department, listen to hear ideas for what can be automated and some easy things that don't require automation. Stick around to hear about some things to consider before adding automation, especially for the first time. Looking for CMMS for maintenance and ordering?
