Factory Connect

Discover the compact software solution from ASYS to optimize your production. PULSE PRO offers software modules that will help you to control automated material flows in the shop floor, to achieve a dynamic just-in-time supply for each production step and to track all data flows. PULSE PRO is easily operated via a cockpit and meets the highest demands for simple handling. The high-quality usability is based on the tasks of the operators. Even with complex contents and functions, the users find their way to their goal quickly and easily.

Import & Export of Data

In the PULSE PRO module “Factory Connect“ data can be exchanged with an ERP/MES interfaces. The order data and material data (UID and RFID) can be imported from a superior system for detailed order planning. For a timely and optimal disposition, production accounts in the ERP system are adjusted and changed depending on the material movement in the production. Status and error messages from machines can also be automatically transferred to a higher-level system via the CFX interface (PULSE interface). Furthermore, an interface is provided for synchronizing a higher-level factory calendar.

Open Interfaces

The base of a Smart Factory is an overall connection of the entire shopfloor. All systems have to be connected to achive a real added value. We are experts in implementing connections and interfaces between different systems and offering the right Software Solutions. For the connection of machines of various vendors we make use of our own powerful “ASYS Standard Interface“. Additionaly we connect to supervisory systems with interfaces like IPC/CFX or SEMI SMT-ELS.
In addition, the PULSE PRO software solutions control the connection to MES and EPR systems. We have already implemented more than 5,000 connections to all common systems and orchestrate your shop floor with the smart apps from the PULSE PRO Software Suite.

Connections to all Systems

With the import/export and synchronization applications of Factory Connect, any data and information are able to communicate with existing MES / ERP systems. Also new standards like an IPC-CFX interface is already integrated in the ASYS PULSE Pro Suite. Here ASYS closes the gap between the shopfloor and superior systems by forming a continuous active data bridge between the shopfloor and the MES of a production.

Import Order Data / Import Order Sequence

The order data are automatically transferred from a higher-level system for detailed order planning.

Import Order Data

  • Automatic transfer of order data from higher-level system for detailed order planning
  • Confirmation of order progress / order deadline

Import Order Sequence

  • Transfer of an externally created detailed order planning in PULSE PRO

Import Material Data / Sync SAP Material

The material data are automatically transferred from a higher-level material management system (reels and/or magazines). The production accounts in the ERP system are compared or changed depending on the material flows in production.

Import Material Data

  • Automatic transfer of material data (Unique ID and RFID) from higher-level material management system (reels and/or magazines)

Sync SAP Material

  • Adjustment / change of production accounts in the ERP system depending on the material flows in the production
  • Automatic material comparison for real-time and optimal scheduling

Sync Factory Calendar / Trace Data Bridge

A higher-level factory calendar can be synchronized and traceability data from a higher-level system can be collected, merged and transferred.

Sync Factory Calendar

  • Synchronization of a superordinate factory calendar
  • Only one-time maintenance of a factory calendar at the location

Trace Data Bridge

  • Collect, merge and transfer of trace data to higher-level trace system

 

CFX – Connector Smart Alerts

An IPC/CFX interface is integrated in the ASYS PULSE PRO Suite, as well as the ASYS Standard Interface to connect INSIGNUM and DIVISIO machines.

  • Transmission of status and error messages from the machines to the higher-level system via the CFX interface and ASYS standard interface
  • Transfer of status and error messages via standard protocol

ASYS INSIGNUM MES Connect

The ASYS INSIGNUM MES Connect is a standard MES connection for all INSIGNUM marking systems from ASYS.

  • Standard MES connection for INSIGNUM and DIVISIO
  • Request for checking an ID (serial numbers …)
  • Transfer of data and operating instructions for this ID
  • Transfer of trace data (product parameters, machine parameters) after laser cutting/blank separation
