[Improvement Case] Key Points for Adopting a Combination of PC and PLC in Production Lines

A case where unnecessary movements in the production site were reduced, resulting in a reduction in manufacturing costs.

We would like to introduce an improvement case of a production system that combines the excellent control system of PLCs with the output function to PC information terminals. With PLCs alone, the display and monitoring functions of information are limited, making it difficult to grasp extensive information from the production line. To obtain the necessary information, it was necessary to go to specific locations, resulting in extra time consumption. Therefore, by using PCs and PLCs, we adopted a production system that allows the desired information to be displayed on mobile devices, enabling real-time confirmation of information. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The operational efficiency at the production site had deteriorated, leading to increased costs. ■Results - By building a production system for information sharing, we were able to reduce unnecessary movements in the production area, ultimately leading to a reduction in manufacturing costs. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
