AVEVA Production Management vs. Opcenter

For downtime tracking, the process is well suited to tracking the operation of an entire process or plant; it is not suited to tracking individual equipment reliability. For inventory management, it is suited to tracking either bulk or discrete production, as its concepts are quite general. The Metrics engine is suited to smaller deployments; larger deployments would do better to extract and warehouse the raw data for external analysis and reporting.

We evaluate a number of inventory management products; however, none provided the full pit-to-port coverage. There were only AVEVA Manufacturing Execution, powered by Ampla, and ION Qmastor. AVEVA Manufacturing Execution, powered by Ampla, provided a simpler interface, while the QMastor product seemed to be a collection of applications. There were other products evaluated, but they were not yet mature and proven.

Opcenter best suits for the deseret manufacturing. It allows to customize and configure easily based on the customer need. Opcneter keeps the metada different than the operation data, so that it can be easily put on any database and switching between database is also very easy because of this feature. User friendly Opcneter Portal studio allows easy customization in case if any UI customization is needed. Modeling helps to configure one time master data setup. Designer helps to extend the meta data in case if needed.

• Downtime classification has made sense of plant reliability data; whereas, before it was unstructured and could not be used for analysis
• Production tracking and reporting. This solution is providing a unified, common source of production tracking for all departments, stored in a database rather than spreadsheets. A single source of truth ensures all data aligns and matches.
• KPIs are providing a measurable indicator of performance against company-defined targets.
