THS Production 4.0
Enabling Industry 4.0
CEIA THS Production 4.0 software offers centralized management and total traceability for Metal Detectors. Featuring a high-performance 64-bit database managing over 500 million events, it ensures data integrity and pharmaceutical compliance via electronic signatures. It interfaces natively with ERP and SCADA systems through OPC-UA or SQL, providing maximum industrial connectivity. The suite includes a Web Server for real-time monitoring, email notifications, and the Data Inspector Tool for granular signal analysis. It transforms data into strategic reports, optimizing production efficiency.
Key Points
Integration and Centralized Systems Management
THS Production 4.0 software represents the digital heart of the smart factory, allowing for the connection and data acquisition from multiple CEIA Metal Detectors via wired or wireless LAN. The architecture is designed for installation on a centralized server, enabling quality managers to manage databases and backups of all recorded events directly from the office. Thanks to a high-performance 64-bit database, the system can manage over 500 million events, ensuring scalability and stability even for the largest production infrastructures.
Regulatory Compliance and Total Traceability
Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, the software ensures data integrity and auditing of operator activities. The system provides advanced tools for user authentication and securely manages electronic records and signatures. A crucial function is batch management, which allows for impeccable traceability of defective products throughout the entire supply chain. All generated reports are easily exportable in standard HTML, CSV, and PDF formats, facilitating audit procedures and information sharing.
Interface Modules: Bidirectional Data Flow
The software offers unprecedented connectivity through specific modules:
- ERP Module: Sends data to the corporate database in real-time, making it accessible to every relevant area. Bidirectional communication allows the production system to write parameters directly into the machine.
- OPC UA Server Module: Makes data available to OPC clients (PLC, SCADA, or stand-alone software) with optional encryption for maximum security. This module also supports remote writing of operating parameters.
Data Inspector Tool and Predictive Maintenance
Accessible via web browser, the Data Inspector Tool graphically analyzes signals and events in real-time or on a historical basis. This tool is fundamental for identifying electrical, mechanical, or environmental interference. Thanks to granular analysis, the software allows for early identification of so-called "Metal Explosions" (sudden peaks in contamination), enabling the planning of preventive manual interventions. This approach avoids unplanned production downtime, drastically reducing economic losses and optimizing overall efficiency.
Total Traceability and Production Strategy
THS Production 4.0 transforms the Metal Detector from a simple control point into a strategic information generator. The ability to manage massive databases and produce automatic reports ensures full compliance with the strictest pharmaceutical regulations, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Thanks to total event traceability and user authenticity verification, the software ensures that every data point is intact, secure, and ready to be used in audit and quality validation processes.
