Reliable planning and documentation

From the planning of batches on the machines to data specifications for the individual operating elements (e.g. printers, cameras etc.) through to the automatic creation of the batch report, the Schubert LMS keeps everything under control simply and clearly. Using a client-server architecture, the line management system is available to the line operators by way of their touch-screen control panel.

Any packaging and production machines can be connected to the Line Management System. The communication between machines and plant control center takes place via Ethernet, OPC and OMAC States.

OPC is an industry standard that describes how data is exchanged between machine control systems and higher-level computers. The OMAC states define the operating states of machines (e.g. production or fault) and therefore dictate which data to transmit.

The line management system features the following functions:

Communication with a higher-order MES or ERP system
Communication with machine control systems
Communication with devices, e.g. labellers, printers, cameras or checkweighers
Archiving and displaying camera and scanner images
User management and audit trail according to CFR 21 Part 11
Order management for creating and processing orders
Creating batches and entering the batch data (LOT, MHD, etc.)
Transfer of parameters and data to machines and devices when starting an order
Display of machine states
Display of errors, warnings and current production data
Display of current (OEE) (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) data of the line and individual machines
Setting and archiving a batch log after the order has been completed
