BMSvision MES-suite Now Available for Both Oracle and SQL Server
Through intelligent wireless networking of all production equipment in the mill, the BMSvision MES-solution transfers the huge amount of data originating from the various production machines and processes into meaningful information for the managers. The BMSvision MES-suite includes software modules for real-time monitoring, reporting, scheduling, preventive maintenance, fabric inspection and traceability. The “Management Dashboard” allows the combined presentation of data from different software modules into one single web-based report showing important KPI’s at a glance. As such, the manager can have all information related to efficiencies, quality and energy consumption displayed in real time in one single screen, either on PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Latest new developments include:
– TEXconnect is a cloud platform that enables the digitalization process in the textile value chain. It allows the connection of the latest fully digitalized Vandewiele textile machines equipped with the most advanced technology as well as older generation Vandewiele machines and machines from other suppliers by means of a BMSvision Data Unit and a BMSedge (cloud gateway). TEXconnect also includes important textile design features such as processing, simulation and yarn calculation.
– EnergyMaster is BMSvision’s real time energy management system which maps different energy consumers such as electricity, gas, compressed air, water, steam, etc. Unnecessary costs can be avoided as anomalies in energy conumption are immediately detected. Moreover, when integrating EnergyMaster with the BMSvision MES system a perfect insight between energy consumption and production is created.
The gathered data leads to major savings and to a reduction of the carbon footprint. EnergyMaster is subject to subventions granted by the German government (BAFA).
– MyMES is an app available for both Android and iOS and includes a cockpit and an alert module. The cockpit shows the KPI’s and most important production data of the plant while the alert module highlights problem areas that need immediate attention.
– Smart Bracelet: This low-cost wearable device promptly informs operators when there is a need to intervene on a machine. As soon as the “Events & Alerts” software of the MES-system detects a warning or alarm condition on a certain machine, the operator in charge of the machine is informed as his bracelet vibrates and the machine number and type of alarm is displayed on the bracelet’s screen.
– BI Connect: With this optional extension to the BMSvision reporting tool, all data in the BMSvision database is available for use in standard business analysis tools such as PowerBI. With such tools, the user can freely search and explore across all data, instantly pivoting his analysis when new ideas surface.
Innovative visualizations put all data in the right context allowing fast and smart decisions.
– Argus: With its Cyclops system, BMSvision has been a pioneer in the field of on-loom quality control for weaving mills. With its new product Argus, BMSvision again pushes the boundaries of automatic onloom inspection. For the first time ever, a system capable of inspecting unicolor Jacquard fabrics is now available for weavers of top quality products, such as OPW airbags and mattress ticking.
BMSvision will be present at ITMA 2023 (June 8 – 14, 2023), hall 10, booth B210.
