Wonderware has joined forces with EmsPT to bring you a webinar that discusses how to make more of your Historian installation and DRIVE a Programme of Continuous Improvement.
Wonderware recently surveyed a select number of Historian customers and there were some common themes that emerged. It is apparent that users want to:
Understand their production process by using historical data to analyse process and production issues
DRIVE Continuous Improvement activities and obtain data for production KPI's
Expand their system to drive performance improvements
Together Wonderware and EmsPT have already worked with many Wonderware Historian customers to ensure their goals were fully understood and beneficial use was realised. We would like to share these advantages of optimising a Historian installation to DRIVE Continuous Improvements with you.

A proven Methodology for Success
1. Learning from History – Unlock your
Performance Potential
Richard Stone
Lean Manufacturing Manager
2. Historian customer research
► 2 types of Historian user
▪ Process trends, archives, reports (80%)
• Process trends are vital to many companies for trouble
shooting, batch production analysis, and many other areas of
insight
▪ Also Business benefits – reporting KPI (20%),
doing more than trending, validation of process
parameters etc
► We wish to explore the second group’s
usage and discuss what is required to
deliver more from Historian data.
3. Quoted...
1. “The Historian is currently logging every bit of PLC information
from the 4 lines it is in operation on the data it captures includes..
▪ Time, Operators, Temps, Pressures, Speeds, Alarms etc”
2. “Historian is used to provide short term historical data to the InTouch
screens for Trends as the built in InTouch trends are not capable of
handling the volume of data, the solution collects all data from 3 lines
using InTouch the data includes...
▪ Temps, Pressures, Signals, Speeds, Motors, Alarms”
3. “currently capture SPC data at the SCADA level identified through
the Lasers on the line which determine Diameter of the product (due
to set standards from the recipe) but this data is not looked at unless
a Non Conformance is raised by a customer after delivery, the QA
team may require more information...”
4. And quoted...
1. “Historian is used in the Injection Moulding department. It collects
data from the drying process/injection process/part counting
process. It also collects data from resin supply/handling system”
2. “It is collecting information from 31 machines. We could/would not
run without Historian. We would have no reporting facility thus no
KPI data. We would be producing product but would have no
method of recording how we were doing - which is how we are
compared to our European sister plants. We would also be running
'blind' - which would be going back to how we ran 5+ years ago. We
would also struggle to carry out root cause analysis of complaints.”
3. “If correctly deployed, Historian is a veritable gold mine of
information that can be very easily accessed. If you have got used to
Historian and it was taken away, you could live without it but it would
be like living without two or three of your fingers”
5. And quoted...
1. “It would make the job more laborious for those that use it. At
present faults can be identified from the office. They would have to
go out on to the plant to investigate issues.”
2. “Was purchased to validate the process in real-time – they use it as
a validation aid to ensure that their operators have processed a
batch as intended”
3. “... don’t directly report from Historian, they export information into an
excel spreadsheet and use this information with data from other
sources to compile a production report.”
4.
“one practical example of how Historian has helped is that using it
they were able to notice that when the CHP part of the plant was
drawing water other processes within the plant began to slow down.
Without the Historian they never would have known this but due to
it being highlighted they installed an extra water tank and this helped
them make considerable performance gains.”

6. Where does Historian fit in the
scheme?

8. Beyond the process
► The feedback tells us that our customers
have had significant benefit from their
Historians, understanding Process Data
► The need to understand Manufacturing
Challenges
9. The need to deliver Manufacturing
Information
► Evidence that Historian
data does provide data for
improvements for the
Engineers.
► The curve of improvements
► Request for information
Operational & Production
Management
► It is the Engineers that
know what is going on. But
others are reliant on
engineering for other
production KPI’s
10. Developing your investment
► “Manufacturing Operational Management
(MOM)” Information
► How is this achieved ?
► Your investment in Historian could deliver
more when used with associated technologies
► Without accurate MOM information:
▪ Ask 20 people get 20 answers
▪ Needs to be in real-time to allow the shift to react
▪ It needs to be in the right context for the right
people
► It’s also important to understand the ROI of
any investment current and future.
11. Who uses MOM Information ?
All your internal customers
► Operation Manager
► Production Manager
► CI Manager
► Quality Manager
► Plant Manager
► Works Manager
► Engineering Manager
► Business Unit Manager
►…
► How are we doing NOW !!
13. Delivering MOM Information
Looking around the room ?
Looking at your data from the factory ?
The same data for different uses:
► Manufacturing Efficiency
► Quality
► OEE
► Manufacturing KPI’s
► Schedule Adherence
► Yield
► Production Progress
► Utilisation
► Energy
MOM information delivers information that is used as a measurement
and helps maintain sustainability

15. Manufacturing Performance
► Software needs to be Proven – Mature – a Future
► Historian is proven for logging data against a time line
► Users need to be able to be self sufficient:
▪ Complex reports and queries from non-process data
▪ Mixed with information such as shifts, batch number, product type
▪ Interactive drill down reports
▪ Root cause analysis
► Historian is major component of System Platform which is part
of a Manufacturing Operations Management solution
► An example - Wonderware “Performance Module “ provides:
▪ Real time KPI’s Reports
▪ Operator / Supervisor interfaces
▪ Real-time data collection
▪ Production Dashboards
▪ Management KPI’s
▪ Links to Scheduling Systems
