EROWA JMS 4.0 – The Smart Factory at EMO 2019

The EROWA process control system JMS 4.0 plays a major role in detailed production planning. It forms a large part of the functionalities that are described as ‘Smart factory’. EMO 2019 visitors will be able to see the system in Hall 12 Stand E83.

With machines reporting their status in real-time, the in-process control with automatic feedback allows production to run at the highest efficiency levels. Flexible interfaces to upstream and downstream systems are a matter of course. Workpiece pallets and electrode holders can be identified at any time using RFID chips.

Important advantages arise for the user: It is always clear which workpiece is at which point in the process at what time. In addition, there is an unequalled clear statement on the productivity of the integrated systems. The keyword is OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and creating transparency to optimise existing processes if necessary.

On the OEE Dashboard users can see at a glance what the efficiency status is like. Various screens offer a clear and structured overview for all production cells, or individually down to minute detail for a single machine.

Fully automatic cells can be monitored with CCTV cameras. Various camera settings are displayed directly in the JMS 4.0 Process Control System. All necessary information is available to the machine operator on one screen. Further views can be called up quickly via sliders.

Live Alarm – Regardless of the users’ geographical location, the JMS 4.0 Alarming app informs all relevant staff about the status of the JMS 4.0 production cell. With push notifications received as soon as a machine or robot receives critical alarms or orders are no longer available.

The EROWA JMS 4.0 software provides a clear overview. It connects all data and controls the entire manufacturing process. With modular software bundles, it can also be expanded at any time as required. Providing manufacturing efficiency that can be scaled to fit almost any application, from REM Systems Erowa.
