Written by Roger Möller | Aug 15, 2024 2:14:10 PM

A modern and efficient extrusion line control system is an essential piece of equipment in today's manufacturing environment. With the latest upgrades to PSU6 - you are in good hands.


 

Fully booked production, tight delivery schedules, and possible penalties are familiar conditions facing wire & cable and pipe & tube manufacturers today. A modern and efficient line control system becomes an essential piece of equipment in such situations.

With the latest upgrades and modifications of Maillefer’s Process Supervision Unit – PSU6 - you are in good hands. The system is based on the latest Microsoft server technology bundled together with the Wonderware® platform. You ensure process control and data evaluation tools optimized for your production and maintenance needs.

 

Query the system as you wish

The PSU6 has data logging, data analysis and data export possibilities with unlimited storing time for production and process data. The Tools, Trend and Query modules will help to get statistical information easier and offer tailor made query possibilities from the Historian tool.

The data storage enables production to analyze line quality later on. It is also valuable to solve technical issues when it is possible to go back in time and get the previous parameters easily.

 

Alarm, events and more

The enhanced Alarm System allows monitoring and recording for further analysis and quality tracking. Plus, several new possibilities are included. All alarms and events are stored into the SQL database for future utilization. Sorting, online language switching, editing alarm texts and help texts during runtime are new features that are very useful for line operators.

 

Structured recipes and simplified scheduling

Recipe System handling includes structured recipes which assures the use of tested and correct parameter settings during the production. Online language switching, help texts for recipe parameters and possibility to edit help texts during runtime are of great value to the operators.

The Scheduler System enables a simple way to organize and manage the production orders in queue, which provides production optimization and tracking.

 

Understanding at a glance

Process visualization has been improved and it is today all about Maillefer’s well known colors in the various views. This enables operators to get an understanding of what is happening at a glance or being able to follow important process values through real time trends. The reporting system in PSU6 is based on SQL Server Reporting services.

 

Secure ongoing support & service

Modern technology allows better process control and data evaluation tools for your production and maintenance needs. However, one must also address obsolescence. Production line performance is a priority. PSU6 advantageously replaces earlier PSU versions in all types of Maillefer delivered production lines. And in case of a breakdown, we can quickly provide you with a temporary system as you wait for a new replacement PSU6 to arrive.

 

Access from the office or beyond

The advantages of upgrading continue with the Remote Office application, which allows easy access to Trend historian from the office. You securely access PSU screens and analyze the production data independent of your location. The read-only connection does not disturb the actual operations on the production line.

All office PC tools are available while working with Remote Office. Analyze production data, manage parameters and recipes, print reports on your local printer and follow line performance from any location.

 

Efficiency into your day

Bring efficiency into each working day. Maillefer’s PSU offers a convenient access to interpret, understand and analyze. Secure your upgrade to PSU6 and benefit from enhanced tools now by reaching out to Maillefer Services.
