Download Manual
The GWA 'FillerNet' Networked data collection system has been designed to be installed on a standard windows based PC or server and will collect data from G Webb Automation machines that are connected to the same Ethernet network. Data is saved into CSV (Comma Separated Variable) files in a standard format for later analysis by either 'FillerNet' or a variety of third party software applications such as Microsoft Excel.
The application is designed to run in conjunction with the included PVI network manager which provides the necessary network services required to obtain data from any networked GWA filling machine control systems.
The program is designed as much as possible to run unsupervised, automatically dealing with the removal and insertion of machines onto the network as recipes are changed or modified or machine configurations are changed.
The inclusion within the G Webb Automation control systems of the calculation of the CP CPK+ and CPK- capability data which is included within the data collection is a powerful aid in identifying the performance and quality of the monitored systems. Data can be collected under a common SAP Batch code to further enable the accurate monitoring of the filling systems 'Capability'.
Up to eight individual fillers installed at different locations within a factory, and running completely independently can be monitored within a single 'FillerNet' installation. |
