Plant hierarchy

See your plant held from company down to asset

Your plant is held as company, site, area, line and asset, set up by mode40 during implementation. A line always sits inside an area, and an asset always sits on a line, the way Line 3 sits inside Packaging.

  • From the company down to each asset
  • Set up with mode40 during implementation
  • One installation carries every site on the same model
  • Recipe, PN-5218-07Routing and BOM attached
  • Routing: Weld Line 1 to Cell B

Routing and recipes

Read routing, recipes and the BOM from one model

Routing, product recipes and the bill of materials sit in the same fixed model as your plant, set up with mode40 during implementation. A plan reads both the path an order takes and the parts it needs.

  • Routing: the path an order takes between locations
  • Product recipes held per product and per line
  • The bill of materials, read by planning
  • Production lines by site 4 Plant 1 6 Plant 2 3 Plant 3 5 Plant 4

Sites

Run every site on one installation

A second site takes the same shape as the first: another branch of the same model. What differs at a site is configured at that site, kept out of the shared model.

  • One customer runs 19 facilities on a single installation
  • The company sits above every site in one model
  • What differs by site is configured at the site

Entity types

Add your own fields and screens to fixed records

Sites, areas, lines, assets and orders are record types mode40 fixes for you, and you fill them in through site configuration. Add a custom field in Form Builder. Build a custom screen in Screen Configurator.

  • Fixed: sites, areas, lines, assets, orders
  • Fields you shape yourself live in Form Builder
  • Screens you shape yourself live in Screen Configurator
  • Minimum signals, every asset In count required Out count required Reject count required State required

Data contract

Agree the tags for each machine type first

Before the first tag arrives, you and mode40 agree the model for each machine type: the signals it must send, and the tag path each reading lands on. Every asset sends at minimum an in count, an out count, a reject count and a state. The readings are stored in the Historian.

  • In count, out count, reject count, and state
  • A tag path convention agreed per machine type
  • Everything past the minimum is agreed per machine type

Build status

The Module itself is not built yet

You can’t switch on or configure a Data Model Engine yourself today. The plant model, routing and recipes, tag contract and one installation for every site all work today, set up by mode40. A Module your team runs directly is design intent, and its shape may change before it’s built.

  • The plant model is set up with mode40 during implementation
  • A Module your team runs directly is design intent
  • It sits on the roadmap without a date attached
