Data Collection
(OP)
I am investagating data collection for the plant floor. We currently have over 300 robotic welding cells and 25 stamping presses. I would like to collect and save production data. I would like suggestions on whatpeople have and are using to pull this data fromplant floor PLC's and save into a database for web based viewing from plant intranet.
Thanks
Thanks





RE: Data Collection
Just my preference and really only a preference due to convenience and experience with system. I would use LOOKOUT version 6I from National Instruments. It is a nice scada system that is easy to use and you have get results going in 2 hours or less. It is complete and, I think, comapares well with alternate offerings. You don't need a plc in this case to achieve your end, but, I would use a Direct Logic DL205 if I wanted to use the server that Lookout has! It is easy to use and we use it in 12 machine plastics departments to following and monitor the machine states and log to Citedal database. Just suggestions, not dogma!!
