Warehouse Management Success story
As there may be several reasons why the door needs to be opened, the operator will select from a list of potential causes.
By communicating with the sales order processing software the PerformOEE software knows what is happening on each line and can display the progress of production compared with the ordered quantity on each line. DLoG terminals have also been installed at the packing area where they support the delivery of essential business information direct to the operator at the point of use, providing them with a real-time view of what is happening in production.
Data for the Overall Equipment Efficiency at Robert Wiseman Dairies is captured on robust DLoG PC terminals.
compatibility and keyboard configuration, so that any keyed in data would be correct. Although most events are collected automatically the system will request more data if, for example, a safety door is opened.
Sudip Masoji, business development manager at DLoG UK, pointed out that DLoG had a last-minute request from Robert Wiseman Dairies’ IT department. “Originally it specified 4GB of RAM flash memory but subsequently requested an increase to 8GB,” he said. “The new compact flash cards were sent directly with the operating system and software pre- loaded so the card could be inserted and when the unit was powered up it worked.”

the extended warranty offered by DLoG even further, as Anderson explains: “Previously we have supported defective IT equipment via defined procedures; exchanging the faulty hardware for a standby unit. This defective unit is sent to our office in East Kilbride and, following repair, it is returned and re-installed into its correct location. We have arranged for DLoG to repair defective terminals (a rare event) to speed up the repair cycle. DLoG has remote access to the latest version of the PC image for any specific terminal so that it can be ‘ghosted’ onto the repaired machine.”
The company currently has 21 DLoG terminals at its Bridgwater Dairy, 19 are active on the shopfloor and two units are on standby. Anderson continued: “At a convenient point in the production cycle the engineers can go on the shopfloor and very quickly exchange any unit, which all have fixed IP addresses and names, and the standby units will be pre- configured by DLoG so the new terminal will immediately handshake with the local Alan Bradley PLC systems to gather the alarm codes and so on. Effectively, we want 100 per cent plug and play and DLoG has agreed to provide us with the support to do it.”
