Aegis Software is pleased to offer our customers and partners an inside look at our recent FactoryLogix 2023.1 and 2023.2 releases. These releases provide advanced capabilities to eliminate redundancies, streamline error-prone processes, promote agility, increase quality, and reduce waste. Below are some of the key highlights covered:
- PLC Gateway - Our new PLC Gateway simplifies and enables real-time data integration between PLC equipment and MES systems. The gateway solution goes beyond basic data mapping and maps the PLC data tags to a contextualized IIoT data standard, ensuring data is accurate and actionable. Now operators and managers can achieve greater visibility across the entire factory floor and make informed decisions based on up-to-date information to drive continuous improvement.
- User Interface Improvements – We always explore novel approaches to ongoing improvements to the overall user experience. Lately, our efforts have centered around optimizing screen space, implementing touch-screen-friendly features, and introducing intuitive progress tracking.
- Integration with Arena PLM – This integration automates data transfer between Arena PLM and FactoryLogix, eliminating duplicate data entries, reducing errors and inconsistencies, and creating a seamless process from product design to production.
- Enhanced 'Limit Rework Attempts' - Our enhanced 'Limit Rework Attempts' capability eliminates costly rework and repair actions by limiting the number of rework events by inspection code and the reference location.
- Inventory Creation at Point of Material Loading/Scanning – This new feature ensures increased efficiencies by minimizing the steps required to load new material at a station while validating barcode content. Material UIDs can be initialized from a complex barcode when loaded/validated at a workstation and then consumed as normal inventory.
- And many more features.
