BMSvision at PLAST 2012 in Milan, Italy (8-12 May 2012)

BMSvision (previously known as BarcoVision) will exhibit at PLAST 2012 in Milan in pavilion 24, stand B39.

BMSvision will show the latest version of its PlantMaster Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for injection molding, blow molding and extrusion in Plastics and for the Packaging Industry (NEW), all based on wireless data collection technology. All of these systems include software modules for real time production and process monitoring, production scheduling, Statistical Process and Quality Control (SPC/SQC) and traceability. A new version of the report generator now allows the combination of real time data and history information in the same report.

BMSvision will also present its EnergyMaster system for monitoring and reduction of the energy consumptions and for reporting of the CO2 footprint of the company. Energy has become a very important cost element in plastics manufacturing. Following the principle of Monitoring & Targeting (M&T), EnergyMaster maps the different energy consumptions (electricity, water, gas, compressed air, steam, …) for further analysis and optimization. The integration of these energy parameters with other MES-applications, such as machine and production monitoring, provides a perfect insight in the relation between energy consumption and production (SEC or Specific Energy Consumption) and allows quick identification of energy saving potentials

The latest EnergyMaster version features a peak shaving system that actively helps to avoid penalties that are charged for exceeding the maximum allowed power consumption. Before a machine can be started, the system checks if the power that will be consumed will not cause the boundary to be exceeded.

The new Management Dashboard module allows the combined presentation of any data available in different BMSvision software modules into a single web based report. With this tool, each user can create his own dashboard showing all important KPI’s at a glance. As such, the manager can have all important information regarding efficiencies, quality and energy consumption displayed in real time on one single screen. Zooming functions allow him to dig into any further detail if required.
