Visualization of
Equipment Operation and 4M

A successful facility should have the ability to measure and analyze precise operations of its equipment. In addition, the "4Ms" should be taken into consideration. The 4Ms of production include:
Man,　Machine,　Material,　Method,
The WD System enables data collection of all of these factors.

Equipment operation + Part number,
Cause of equipment error, Number of units

Visualize cycletime, cause of stoppage, and setup time

Equipment operation + operator,
part number

Enables traceability

Device Connection Examples

1 Serial I/F RS-232C 1 port
[Trace operator/part number information]

RS-232C communication scenarios

1. Barcode Reader (for DENSO WAVE Corporation)

This data capturing system is exclusive to DENSO WAVE [AT20B-SM (R) type and AT21B-SM (R) type].
Sends 60 bytes of data from the data area to the host.
2. Barcode Reader (General Purpose)

This data capturing system is for general barcode readers, not specific to any company.
Sends 60 bytes of data from the data area to the host.
※ Some barcode readers are not supported.
3. Direct Communication

Sends 60 bytes from the data collected by RS-232C to the host.

2 Parallel I/F 8-point input
[Analyze the cause of stoppage by error code]

3 Control from the host system
[Reduce downtime loss by notifying remote workers]

4 Conventional Signal Tower control

5 Simple counter function
[One Signal Tower control I/F can be set to counter input]

Add-on Solutions Based on Operation Analysis

Equipment Operating Time

Automatically collect and analyze equipment operation data.

Location

Trace and manage materials and workers.
Ex: Progress control, quality control, equipment occupancy time per material, etc.

Work Processes

Automatically collects operational details such as setup and assembly.
Ex: Preparation time, assembly work analysis, proficiency evaluation, work improvement, etc.

Equipment Statuses

Automatically collects and record equipment error codes.
Ex: Equipment stoppage Pareto analysis, equipment renovation, productivity improvement, etc.

Counter

Automatically collects values such as work in process, number of defects, etc. to assist in analysis of bottlenecks and defect rates.
Ex: Production progress management, cycle time analysis, productivity improvement, prolonging equipment life, etc.
