Production Control

Fault-Free Production Processes also in Variants and Manual Assembly

Cosmino MES Plus controls the production process for each variant of a component or item via the Cosmino ManufacturingManager module (link). The software thus ensures smooth and fault-free assembly and processing. Especially in variant manufacturing and in multilevel and non-linear work stages, the MES keeps an overview of the quality, variant and correct sequence. Via this module, Cosmino MES Plus also controls further transport between work stations and the processing in production […]

Corporate System

Cosmino MES Plus for Company Headquarters

The Cosmino Corporate System is a central MES for company-wide reporting and benchmarking tasks. It is used if Cosmino MES Plus is applied in several locations. The data from these decentralised installations are then collected to show figures and analyses at company level. Machines and other resources can also be compared separately from the plant hierarchy.

A central Corporate MES requires local installations at all plants. Validated data from external collection systems can be used as […]

Energy Management System

Cosmino Software for Energy Management

Using energy incurs expenses. The Energy Management System targets optimization of resources. Doing so provides enormous potential for saving costs in industrial manufacturing. Cosmino’s Energy Management Software provides support for acquiring data and evaluating it, such as using special energy performance indicators (EnPI). It makes energy management based on the globally valid DIN EN ISO 50001 standard possible and the software is listed by BAFA for Eligible Energy Management Systems.

Traceability

Cosmino Traceability and Control of Units through the Process Steps

Traceability with Cosmino makes documenting the entire path of a traced unit (individual product, component or batch) through the manufacturing process possible. Times, processes, operational data, order, machine parameters, test results, preliminary products, materials, tools and other information will thereby be uniquely assigned to a traced unit.

Controlling the workflow also prevents units from getting into the wrong processes. Work sequences, quality and variations will also be taken into consideration.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Cosmino for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

For over 20 years, Cosmino OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) has been used in manufacturing plants to record operating data and running times and to determine overall equipment effectiveness, and is continuously developed by an experienced team. The software is highly configurable and therefore adaptable to any production processes, machines, lines and manual workstations.

For any equipment, Cosmino Software measures:

Net productivity – production
Availability losses – unplanned downtimes
Performance losses – time where production is slower than planned
Quality losses
Set-up times

Interfaces

Cosmino Interfaces

The Cosmino software can be integrated into every IT landscape through various interfaces and thereby seamlessly interact with many other systems.

Transferring Equipment Signals

Online integration of machines will make machine data available immediately and automatically. Cosmino will receive data directly from the equipment control system or from additionally integrated sensor systems, which thereby will also make automated detection of older machines and manufacturing lines possible.

By using an OPC interface, various sensors and control systems can also communicate in a shared, […]

Reporting

Cosmino Reporting

Cosmino’s standardized, automated reporting system collects, aggregated and visualizes data from internal and external systems and distributes the resulting reports to the appropriate stakeholders. This creates a uniform data basis for all departments from the shop floor to management without data discontinuity, using clearly defined key figures and reports.

Real-time Information on the Shop Floor

The real-time dashboard shows the current status of production (such as order status and process parameters). Deviations between the expected and actual values will be displayed […]

Data Acquisition (PDA, MDA)

Cosmino Data Acquisition

With Cosmino data acquisition in the area of Machine Data Acquisition (MDA) and Production Data Acquisition (PDA), you collect not only data, but also obtain information. In this way, situations in production, such as plant downtimes and waiting times, can be addressed more quickly. A reporting is available for further data analysis. Bidirectional communication with ERP systems and other components of your IT infrastructures is supported by many interfaces.

Automated Transfer of Machine Signals and Visualisation via Touch Screen […]
