PLC Interfaces for Counting, Labeling and Traceability

---

SPEDE solutions interface to Production Machine PLCs to:

• Collect and display real-time production data on a touchscreen PC at lineside
• Time-stamp and log piece count, scrap and cycles data into SPEDE MS/SQL database for inventory, traceability, auditability purposes 
• Automatically trigger a container label at pack count
• Provide real-time labeling status at lineside
• Create traceability records by machine, part number, date, run, etc.
• Update host ERP, EDI, OEE systems

An Optional Touchscreen PC at Line-side Can Display: 

• Part number, description, photo of the Part being made
• Piece counts (not just container counts): good / scrap pieces
• Serialized piece counts
• Rework Counts
• Pack count quantity
• Status of labels printed
• Machine cycle counts/ cycle timestamp
• Machine status, metrics
• Operator Number
• Shift / Date
• Work Order Number
• Lot Number 

The Touchscreen also enables you to adjust pack counts to allow for scrap or End of Run. It supports a scanner/ imager to record parts mark serial numbers. 

Production data is retained by SPEDE in an SQL database for inventory tracking and traceability. It updates host systems including ERP and OEE for analyzing  production efficiencies.
