Abstract

Main attention of this paper is paid to the development of a simple, but efficient concept of a real time production monitoring system. The goal is to offer an effective concept, which will help to provide an accurate overview of the shop floor activities by diverse information appearance and improve asset management, machinery utilization, and production process stability. The subtask considered includes description of the design of a visual module for the proposed production monitoring system for a certain type of micro, small and medium sized enterprises.

Highlights

  • Main attention of this paper is paid to the development of a simple, but efficient concept of a real time production monitoring system

  • production monitoring system (PMS) systems can be seen as a subset of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that comprises the same functions as data collection and acquisition, maintenance management, resource status, product tracking, and production performance analysis [5,6]

  • As prognostics is becoming more widely applied in different disciplines, all the definitions describing it are subject for further development and refinement

Summary

INTRODUCTION

It makes maintenance and monitoring activities more expensive and complicated to get the reliable data on time. This situation motivates the researchers to look for innovative ways of production monitoring and maintenance. From the other point, SMEs can dominate in niche markets where larger companies are not so active due to low sales volume. This narrow focus can give good results while developing totally new products and solutions. As many SMEs may not have the possibilities of expensive production monitoring tools, this alternative solution can help to increase productivity. The second part of the paper is focused on the case study of a visual module development
