Control software displays your entire plant.Three new software products to help manage polyurethane processing operations are available from Linden Industries, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio Cuyahoga Falls is a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. As of the 2003 census, the city population was 50,375. It is currently the second largest city in Summit County. It is considered a suburb of both Akron and Cleveland, but is actually older than Akron. . They evolved from Linden's MicroProcessVu software, which monitors variables on a processing line and provides data-analysis tools to support Six Sigma Not to be confused with Sigma 6. Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects.[1] A defect is defined as nonconformity of a product or service to its specifications. , QS 9000, or ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9000 programs. * New PlantProcessVu provides the tools to capture and analyze data from all manufacturing processes throughout the plant. Data are organized to alert users to process variances before production is affected. Shown here is a display of a plant with (clockwise from upper right) injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. , PUR molding, bulk chemical storage, and shipping/receiving. Operators can zoom in on any piece of equipment. * GlobalProcessVu captures similar data from multiple plants and enables data analysis at any level of the production processes. * New remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a capability helps cope with leaner engineering and maintenance staffs. The controller automatically sends wireless notification of process variances and alarms to maintenance personnel and process engineers via pager or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). . Spotlighting the exact nature of the problem helps troubleshooters gather the necessary manuals, tools, and parts on their way to the line. Faster response is also facilitated by the latest version of MicroProcessVu. It incorporates a new knowledge base that records prior responses to equipment and processing problems, and an on-line image library of equipment components to quickly identify a defective part and its part number.
