SIMATIC IT

Additional options can be separately purchased for each bundle:

•SIMATIC IT PDS-I (Predictive Detailed Scheduler - Interactive) is the detailed scheduling component of SIMATIC IT. It coordi- nates and processes the job list coming from the ERP (Enter- prise Resources Planning) or APS (Advanced Planning Sys- tem) with consideration of all available resources in real-time. An advanced, dedicated interface even allows users who have no IT or scheduling experience to produce optimum pro- duction job planning. A number of predefined steps addition- ally support users in selection of the best planning scenario.

•SIMATIC IT Report Manager

offers comprehensive reporting functions. It provides valuable knowledge concerning the company and supports users in complying with statutory requirements for ad hoc reporting (e.g. EU directive EC 178/2002 for Europe, US bioterrorism act for North America).

•SIMATIC IT OEE-DTM Option (Overall Equipment Efficiency / Down Time Management)

offers support for the dedicated configuration for downtime management and efficient utilization of the overall equipment through various predefined KPIs for evaluation of perfor- mance and efficiency. It also allows customized performance calculations as well as real and consistent efficiency analysis using graphic objects. Thanks to integration within the com- plete SIMATIC IT infrastructure, it supports the implementation of corrective and/or preventive actions for avoiding reductions in quality.

•SIMATIC IT SPC (Statistical Process Control)

is used for the dedicated configuration of statistical process control through various predefined KPIs for evaluation with the most common control charts (e.g. Nelson and Western Elec- tric). It also allows customized KPI calculations as well as con- sistent statistical analyses with application of graphic objects. Thanks to integration within the complete SIMATIC IT infra- structure, it supports the implementation of corrective and/or preventive actions for avoiding reductions in quality.

The MES product range of SIMATIC IT is completed by the fol- lowing components for special ISA-95 functions (also offered as stand-alone products):

•SIMATIC IT Unilab

Laboratory Information System / Laboratory Information Man- agement System (LIMS) for management and control of labo- ratory data and processes.

•SIMATIC IT Interspec

Specifications Management System for support of product lifecycle / Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for manage- ment and control of production specifications in the entire company.

•SIMATIC IT XHQ

provides decision-makers in a company with a tool for making better, faster and more sound decisions at all levels through the assistance of role-based Web views, thus increasing the company’s total performance. This allows manufacturers to positively influence the production result through early and qualified decisions concerning the production sequence. As a result of the complete overview of all critical business and operating data from various sources within the company, op- erators and managers are able to check the true performance compared to corporate targets. SIMATIC IT XHQ is initially fo- cused on the chemical and oil & gas industries.

■Function

SIMATIC IT from Siemens offers significant advantages. The model of the business and production processes is transparent, understandable, and independent of the control systems. Even complex business and production processes are easy to model. Subsequent modifications can be incorporated efficiently and without problem.

Modeling of the business and production processes with SIMATIC IT allows complete documentation as well as effective protection of know-how.

The plant and production models can be saved in libraries, and then used again in other projects. In this manner, they can be used at any company location for standardization of procedures. Best practices are therefore available everywhere. This prevents implementation errors, provides investment safeguarding, re- duces launch and maintenance costs, and results in a signifi- cant shortening in the project duration.

The product architecture and functionality of SIMATIC IT are in conformance with ISA-95, the internationally recognized stan- dard for Manufacturing Execution Systems and Manufacturing Operation Management.

■Integration

Integration of SIMATIC IT and SIMATIC PCS 7

The Product Integration Pack is available for joint projects with SIMATIC IT und SIMATIC PCS 7, and includes two data media (one each for the two target systems SIMATIC IT and SIMATIC PCS 7). These contain the software updates required for inte- grated configurations.

A user manual is also enclosed which provides information and important notes for persons planning, developing and imple- menting integration projects.

The integration pack can be obtained using the SIMATIC IT pur- chasing methods.
