Supervising software WINPET

OPERATIVE MODULES

The main page can be structured based on the customer's specific production process specifications, recording the status of each item of equipment (operating, stopped, alarm condition) and the main operating parameters, such as material level in the silos, conveying operations, blender recipes, and the amount of material used on each line. The other pages give a detailed list of the operating parameters for each of the individual pieces of equipment being part of the system, along with the operating data for the process as a whole.

MANAGEMENT MODULES

The most important processing data recorded are:

● material management, which is essential for the purpose of resin traceability, from the initial product to the preform, in accordance with the strictest international standards on the subject;
● automatic recipe management (which is also useful for repeating "production orders" identically at a later date);
● material consumption;
● energy consumption.

All data are stored continuously in a central database with the option of processing them into graphs and historical analyses and exporting them in Excel format. A scrolling display advises the operator of any alarms affecting the equipment.
 

Benefits

WinPET runs in the Windows environment with a client/server architecture and connections to equipment through RS485 serial lines or Ethernet (included in the standard licence kit); connected equipment is recognized automatically by means of a specific tool incorporated in the actual software. WinPET is based on a platform that offers the option of displaying all the line's equipment on a single page: storage silos, conveying systems, gravimetric blenders, dryers, masterbatch dosers, resin and mould dryers, chillers, preform AA analyzers and conveyor belts. When dealing with complex systems with a number of PET preform production lines, the software can show the various work areas on a number of pages instead of all on one page.
