The Industrial Challenge

The Enterprise Blind Spot: Inability to See What Machines Are Doing Right Now

Production planners in corporate offices frequently operate in the dark regarding actual shop-floor execution. SAP displays released orders, but planners have no automated way of knowing if a machine is currently running, waiting for raw material, undergoing tooling changeover, or halted by an emergency stop.

Why Traditional Methods Fail:

Relying on end-of-shift reports or phone calls to supervisors means problems are discovered hours after they occur. Planners cannot reschedule orders dynamically, and customer service teams make delivery promises based on obsolete status data.

Critical Pain Points Solved

  • No real-time visibility in SAP regarding whether an order is 10% or 90% completed
  • Unrecorded machine downtime causing production delays to go unnoticed by management
  • Manual reporting of machine status resulting in inaccurate OEE and availability figures
  • Inability to trigger upstream material replenishments based on actual machine progress

Technical Bottlenecks in Heterogeneous Automation

Discrete manufacturing lines frequently stop for minor jams, tool wear, or material shortages. Because these events are not captured in real time by enterprise systems, management cannot distinguish between normal cycle time variations and major line breakdowns.

System Architecture

Automated Status Capture: Machine State → PLC → Middleware → SAP Synchronization

Our integration middleware continuously monitors PLC execution tags—such as Running, Idle, Fault, Piece Count, and Cycle Duration. It aggregates these state changes into business milestones and synchronizes production progress directly with SAP, giving enterprise users a real-time window into factory operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical and operational answers for plant managers and automation engineers.

Synchronization frequency is fully configurable. The middleware typically streams status changes on event triggers (e.g., job start, stoppage, order completion) or at periodic intervals (e.g., every 5, 15, or 30 minutes, or every 100 parts produced) to balance network bandwidth with real-time accuracy.

Yes. When a machine stops, the PLC fault register is read automatically to capture the electrical/mechanical trip reason. If the stop is manual (e.g., waiting for material), the operator can select a reason on the HMI or web screen, which is bound to the downtime record in SAP.

Yes. Compiled Successfully provides responsive HTML5 dashboards that run on factory floor TV displays (Andon boards), office desktop browsers, and mobile devices simultaneously.

The on-premises edge gateway continues polling PLCs and stores all timestamped state transitions locally. Once network connectivity is restored, all cached events are synchronized with SAP.

Yes. By continuously tracking Availability (running vs downtime), Performance (actual vs design cycle time), and Quality (good vs scrap parts), the system computes live OEE metrics alongside order status.
