AMPLA, features and benefits

Features
• Reliable high-speed data acquisition from multiple plant and business systems
• Single configuration interface for all modules reduces learning and rework costs and lowers TCO.
• Single real-time platform allows modules to interact and communicate, to better aggregate information for cross-functional reporting and KPI calculations.
• Modular deployment and single real-time platform allows staggered deployment, bringing incremental improvements, lowering capital expenditure and increasing ROI.
• Non-invasive approach leverages existing IT infrastructure and business standards and minimises changes to the PLC or HMI / SCADA system, reducing deployment costs and risk.
• Business alert agent brings attention to information in a timely manner, increasing responsiveness.

Benefits
• Optimise production process efficiencies
• Ampla allows you to drill 'down' into the detail of your plant's Key Performance Indicators so you can take considered and prioritised action
• Maximise Return On Assets (ROA)
• A clearer picture on your plant's operations allows you to eliminate equipment downtime, unscheduled maintenance and process bottlenecks whilst improving overall equipment effectiveness, speeding up time-to-market and streamlining schedules.
• Increase Return On Investment (ROI)
• Each tightly-integrated analysis module provides fast, incremental and measurable information so you can make continuous improvements when you need them. Since modules can be deployed incrementally across a single common platform, associated costs are shared across all modules, decreasing capital expenditure and increasing Return on Investment (ROI). Significant ROI can be expected in 6 to 12 months.
• Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Each module resides on the same tree hierarchy and runs on a single real-time platform, saving you the time and costs of rework in the configuration and deployment of multiple modules. Based on the Microsoft Windows format, the system requires minimum training to use effectively and enables customers to continuously extend and refine their system.
