  10. Integrated with AF2.0

  11. Ekho2.0 Context Documents • Operator screens provide better visibility to any production and process information • Pre built context document model • Documents collaboration • Multi site connectivity

  12. Ekho2.0 Context Documents • Manage all your event relation and real-time events • Better visibility and control

  13. Ekho2.0 Gallery • Introducing the new Ekho User navigation Bars. • Including: • Predefined gallery • Predefined Context document model • Predefined Report and Information panel wizard

  14. Quality Management • Track and monitor you product and process quality • Apply product specs and recipes to production and alarm against out-of spec conditions • Automatically or manually capture quality information • Reason Codes, Research Notes, Recipe, Batch and Production Information • Capture and summarize manufacturing and quality data in the context of production • Provides Comprehensive Analytical and Reporting Capabilities • Generates Quality Alarms and Out of Spec conditions

  15. Quality Management

  16. Quality Management Values • Increase quality production from enhanced real-time visibility • Reduce rejects / downgrades • Reduce customer complaints / returns • Avoidance of major quality event • Avoidance of product recall • Lower cost of quality • Data collection time reduction • Quality research time reduction • Product / process optimization • Better Products, Less time , less rework

  17. Quality Management Values

  18. Production Management • Production Management – improve such as TRACKING and GENEALOGY • Provides insight into how products flow through the plant by tracking production against specifications, equipment and schedules. • Enables up and downstream traceability • Allows in-process scheduling changes to reduce WIP and overall inventory • Provides Comprehensive Product Genealogy Reporting and Analysis • Detailed Tracking data for long term analysis • Birth History • Traceability overall Genealogy

  19. Production Management

  20. Production Management Values • Increase Schedule execution and accuracy from integrated product, quality and production tracking systems • Reduction of overruns / shortages • Reduced inventory costs (raw materials, WIP, finished goods) • Faster, more accurate product changeovers • Detailed, easily accessible tracking and genealogy information • Limit the scope of recalls and quarantines • Automated recall / quarantine • Quick response to customer issues • Production / Process optimization • Timely and Precise Material Staging

  21. Production Management Values

  22. Efficiency management (OEE) • Track and monitor production and your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) • Track downtime, waste, production counts, user-defined events • Automatically or manually associate events with a specific cause on a real-time basis • Analyze equipment effectiveness based on reasons to identify root causes • Summarize and analyze data in the context of production events for improvements • Correlate events and reasons to actual production operations (real-time data)

  23. Efficiency management (OEE)

  24. Efficiency management Values • Better utilize plant assets (people, equipment, materials) through a comprehensive view of overall equipment efficiency • Get more for less production costs • Identify and improve areas that are causing operational inefficiencies • Minimize scheduled and unscheduled downtime events • Reduce waste and rework • Improve machine run-time effectiveness • Make data-driven decisions on capital expenditures and process improvement investments • Gain insight into production operations by shift, equipment or product • Evaluate operations over any period of time • Link capital expenditures to expected profitability improvements

  25. Efficiency management Values

  26. Summary • Knowledge and Experience • Integration with OSIsoft infrastructure • MES portfolio of cross industries Applications • Path to the future for Ekho2.0 and AF2.0
