1 ATIS Gathering,visualizing, analysing process data simple, intuitive, sophisticated

2 analyzing & understanding Data Capturing operating, production and machine data is a central element of every industrial process. The sheer volume of data that accumulates in the process constitutes a challenge for anyone in charge of production, frequently leaving them unable to capture the essence. It is, however, crucial that important information is identified specifically and subsequently correlated. Whether process control, energy management or quality control: APE ATIS paves the way from production data to production facts for the user. Possible applications: Production data acquisition Energy monitoring Maintenance Process optimization Reporting and analysis Systematic understanding With APE ATIS you can filter out the relevant information from the flood of data, put it in the right context and emphasize it in meaningful diagrams. This enables you to recognize trends in a flash, identify sources and causes of errors and determine room for improvement.

3 Case study 01 Cordenka GmbH & Co. KG Cordenka is one of the world s leading producers of industrial rayon. The yarn is wound onto approximately 3,000 twin spools. The spools are changed manually. The yarn length has to be absolutely uniform. Therefore, it very much comes down to the exact moment of the change. Following the installation of ATIS, the employees are now automatically notified via mobile end devices when a spool needs to be changed. For more efficient planning and quality assurance, all data and processes are documented and visualized. Of course, the new and old technologies were initially operated concurrently to facilitate the switchover. Keeping track APE-ATIS Advanced Technical Information System (ATIS) is a tool for providing an understanding with respect to your process data. Modern, streamlined process data management does not have to be tantamount to a high level of induction effort, interference with existing processes and a high level of investment. ATIS is an economically priced solution for small and medium-sized enterprises: uncomplicated, intuitive and sophisticated. It can easily and quickly be adapted to the respective requirements. ATIS uses a streamlined concept, enabling the user to start straight away without major installation, time or training effort, while being easy on the wallet.

4 High-performace, flexible and process-driven ATIS provides a modern system architecture for capturing and processing your data. ATIS is able to access different sources: XML data, an OPC server or a direct pointto-point connection with the PLC. High-performance database software ensures the speed required for converting big data into meaningful analyses in no time at all. Database JobServer XML HMI ATIS Client DataLogger P2P opc:// SPS OPC Server Visualization The ATIS Client provides a clearly laid out and intuitive presentation of the data. It can be used to configure diagrams, tables and reports in a flexible manner. You can add or remove indices from the views by means of drag and drop. For a more detailed analysis, simply zoom into the charts. Individual diagrams can be saved for future analysis, keeping the reports that are useful to you only a mouse click away. In addition to capturing and visualizing the data in real time, the database also offers the option to analyze process data from previous years and to compare historic data with current trends. Case study 02 Aschaffenburger Wasserversorgungs GmbH The water utility supplies approximately 130,000 people with drinking water. It has a fully automated treatment process that treats approximately 25,000 m3 of water on a daily basis. With the integration of ATIS, the water utility is now able to monitor the plant independent of the manufacturer, to perform fault diagnoses, and to log and visualize the information. APE installed ATIS with a client-server system consisting of two redundant servers and several clients.

5 Intuitive handling means quicker understanding One of the hallmarks of ATIS is its ease of use. Whether at the plant or in the office: streamlined, intuitive user control is the key factor for fast, reliable results. Wide user acceptance proves it: a few clicks suffice to make your process data transparent, using this solution which was inspired by the Microsoft Office world. No need to get accustomed to something new: the familiar graphical user interface ensures easy navigation. An example of use: Presenting weekly production data in a diagram: no problem by means of drag and drop. But what about comparing the individual time trajectories directly? The multiple x-axes feature makes it possible. Simply enter the desired time periods to display the trajectories, clearly laid out in a diagram without the need for any additional data preparation. Ease of use also means easy installation and flexible integration of ATIS into existing IT structures (e.g. terminal server). ATIS runs on commercially available Windows PCs, can be expanded with additional modules and features a license system that is geared towards the customer needs.
