Archatech™ delivers seamless control, data acquisition, and enterprise integration within a robust and secure architecture. As technology progresses, the various departments of the typical 21st century manufacturing facility are becoming more connected and integrated. The Archatech™ Framework provides a set of modular hardware and software tools that serve as the glue between:
- Factory floor equipment and software applications.
- Plant utilities equipment.
- Quality assurance and test equipment.
- Engineering/facilities maintenance and operations.
- Enterprise Resource and Planning.
Core Features
Secure Cloud Based SCADA Services
- Real-Time Data Visualization
–IIOTA's Archatech™ translates real-time industrial data into a graphical, easy-to-understand format for human operators. Simple UI components, 2D graphics or 3D graphics can be integrated for various processes.
- Data Acquisition
– Archatech™ collectes data from real-world physical instruments or process data points using sensors or digital communication proctocols and making it available for storage, analysis, or control. Archatech™ stores data in a relational database for analysis and Machine Learning models.
- Remote Event and Alarm Display and Notification
– Scheduled event notifications and alarms indicating an abnormal or critical condition, triggering a response to protect equipment, processes, and safety.
- Real-Time Integration with connected devices
– All IIOTA Archatech™ Devices are pre-configured to seamlessly connect to Archatech™. Other devices can also easily be connected using the Archatech Helix™ which acts as a protocol translator from common industrial protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Profibus and Modbus to MQTT or REST. Serial and Ethernet communication is supported, and all data exchange is encrypted. For devices without communication capability, the Helix™ can be configured with a mix of digital and analog I/O to process, re-transmit or provide data.
- Documents Repository Module
– Archatech™ provides a centralized digital system for storing, organizing, and managing an organization's documents and files. Files are scoped by topic, creating an easy to navigate document repository infrastructure.
Add-On Modules
Facility Intelligence Modules
- KPI Tracking
– Archatech™ uses Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data to identify needs and trigger work order creation, in addition to directly producing work orders from the Maintenance Managment Interface. Additionally, tracking metrics like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), or prolonged cycle times, Archatech™ can spot operational issues and automatically notify stakeholders and generate work orders when certain thresholds are met. This approach ensures that potential problems are addressed before they become critical. Data is fed into Predictive Analytics models to drive Predictice Maintenance.
- Maintenance Management Module (CMMS)
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) are software appliations that centralize and streamline the management of maintenance activities, including asset tracking, work order management, inventory control, and data reporting. Archatech™ pushes CMMS forward by embdedding and enabling diagnostics through the analysis of real-time data. Our strategy combines the traditional work order and maintenance plan management with IIOT sensors, KPI benchmark tracking and data analytics. The expected outcomes are:
– Reduced downtime: Predictive analytics help maintenance teams identify potential failures before they happen, significantly reducing unexpected and costly equipment downtime.
– Improved efficiency: By automating workflows and providing intuitive, mobile-friendly tools, Archatech™ reduces the administrative burden on technicians and frees them to focus on more strategic work.
– Extended asset lifespan: More diligent and data-driven maintenance ensures that critical equipment is serviced at the optimal time, adding years to its operational life.
– Safer workplaces: Archatech™ Predictive Learning Models can detect early signs of malfunctions, and seamless communication tools improve collaboration between maintenance and safety departments, reducing accidents. - Inventory Management
–Archatech™ provides an Inventory module to control and optimize the stock of spare parts, tools, and other consumables required for operations. This leads to benefits like increased asset availability, reduced costs, and improved productivity. Key features include real-time tracking, barcode reader/ camera integration, automated low stock reordering, centralized data management, and predictive analytics to forecast future needs.
- Project Management Module
– The Archatech™ Project Management module can be used as a standalone application, or as a component of the Maintenance Mangament Module. The PM module helps teams and individuals plan, organize, execute, and track projects to achieve goals within a set timeframe
- Planning & Scheduling: Helps to map out project phases, set deadlines, and create timelines, often using visual tools (Kanban or Gantt charts).
- Task Management: Allows for the creation, assignment, and prioritization of tasks, clearly defining responsibilities for team members.
- Resource Allocation: Enables managers to assign and manage resources like budgets, personnel, and equipment for specific tasks and projects.
- Collaboration & Communication: Provides a centralized platform for team members to communicate, share files, provide feedback, and stay updated on progress.
- Progress Tracking: Allows for real-time monitoring of task completion, project milestones, and overall project health.
- Reporting: Generates automated reports to provide stakeholders with insights into project status, workload, and key metrics.
- Automation: Automates tasks like sending reminders, notifications, and generating routine reports.
