ustington based Photronix Ltd manufacture high quality printed circuit boards and despite being a relatively new to the market, have become one of the leading PCB suppliers to the UK electronics market. From the day they


were founded in 1997 they had a simple aim of developing long-term partnerships for the manufacture of PCB’s by embracing new technologies and extending their facilities from design, prototyping through to volume manufacturing.


Photronix Managing Director Alan Millard believes that managing the progress of jobs simply and effectively is


essential and with this in-mind invested in the T CARDS ONLINE workflow system to help them run their office more efficiently. Among the important benefits of the T Cards Online system is its simplicity and ease-of-use. Once the virtual board has been configured, T Cards designs can be easily tailored to requirements. There are standard templates for various applications to make it even easier. Status and communication can be enhanced by using the Alarm, Signal, and email notification functions. There is


also a facility to attach external documents to help collate documentation. Since a number of cards will appear on the same chart, they can be colour-coded for easier identification and as work progresses the cards are simply dragged and dropped into a new column.


When asked about his


experience in using T Cards, Alan commented, ”T Cards has been a success in the way we manage our day-to-day enquires and the people at T Cards Online have been really helpful. The system continues to be developed and some of the new features have made big improvements to the way we work. The new APP makes a particular difference to me as l travel regularly to China and the Far East, now it’s so easy for me to check the status of our Jobs, wherever I am, when I get a call from clients. It really has helped us streamline our business and enabled to expand even more.”

capability and authority to do so. The platform emphasises both functional and process safety while removing the need for extensive paperwork, and instead placing all relevant information in the hands of those qualified to make decisions about asset operation and maintenance. The new tool provides a true end-to-end solution for


maintenance and operations which is compatible with all existing infrastructure, and can integrate at all levels of the organisation, no matter how advanced they are on their journey towards digital transformation. “By incorporating the unique benefits of Augmented


Operator Advisor with Wonderware, ATISA creates an ecosystem which captures every activity and can be built on for future hardware and software developments,” said Stephen Maltby, CEO, Platinum Engineering, “We’ve looked incredibly closely at the quality systems and regulatory requirements for a range of industries. One industry where this can make an immediate difference is in oil and gas, which is struggling with increased regulation and safety requirements. ATISA massively reduces the workload, and so supports industries like oil and gas that have suffered an exodus of skills in recent years.” “Platinum has a well-deserved reputation as leaders in


management and operations by integrating augmented reality (AR) within Wonderware System Platform. The new tool is called ATISA – Automated workflow,


P


maintenance and Testing of In-Service Assets – and was developed by incorporating the AR capabilities of Schneider’s Augmented Operator Advisor with Wonderware, the industrial automation platform for supervisory, SCADA, HMI and IIOT applications.

latinum Engineering has partnered with Schneider Electric to create a comprehensive tool for asset


The new platform leverages operational technology,


hardware and software with edge-based data processing, providing a comprehensive overview of asset performance and enhancing regulatory compliance. ATISA automatically populates industry-specific workflows with real-time information from the organisation’s assets. The tool is completely automated, requiring only sign-off from the responsible staff member. ATISA is based around key competency requirements and ensures that tasks are only carried out by those with the


their field, always looking for new ways to adapt, integrate and deliver new technologies into the market,” said Martin Walder, VP Industry at Schneider Electric. “ATISA demonstrates the powerful capabilities of EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor, and shows how its capabilities can be extended into a growing range of industry applications and legacy technologies.”
