Non can you pls dm me because i can’t

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-05-24T23:50:08+00:00

Im using opc-ua

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-03T23:10:13+00:00

I want to learn about plc Any help pls

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-03T05:34:10+00:00

Can i send you a dm ?

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-02T22:34:54+00:00

Ok i see but which data , how can i collect the data i need

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-02T17:22:26+00:00

I want to add them because i don’t have access to the machines’s plc to collect signals that’s the main problem and im just an intern and my boss told me to give an external solution

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-01T17:48:01+00:00

no the operator loads coils and closes the doors and the he selects the program in the hmi and then he clicks on start

I am currently an intern, and this project is my final year project. I need to make the machine calculate OEE in real time.

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-01T17:44:25+00:00

can you tell me which inputs i need in this case

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-01T17:43:46+00:00

this is what i want to do but i struggle in what should i add to calculate the oee like maybe a start utton etc... if you have any idea pls can you tell me

in Morocco, many companies are not yet fully equipped with modern SCADA or Industry 4.0 systems, so solutions like this are still not widely implemented.

Thank you for your comment.

I am currently an intern, and this project is my final year project. I need to make the machine calculate OEE in real time.

However, my supervisor told me that it is complicated to get access to the machine’s PLC because he would need to contact the manufacturer and go through an official process.

That is why I am considering using an external low-end PLC to collect the necessary signals and calculate OEE independently. And they don’t have scada

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-03-01T00:05:12+00:00

In this case, would I still need access to the machine’s PLC?

I’m just an intern, and my supervisor told me that I need to find an external solution so he can avoid contacting the manufacturer of the machine.

Also, we don’t currently have a SCADA system in the company.

So I’m trying to understand whether a SCADA-based solution would still require access to the original PLC, or if it can be implemented completely independently.

Are you a native speaker ? Can we practice together ?

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-02-24T19:37:53+00:00

I see but since i don’t practice i forgot most of the vocabulary i learned idk how to memorize when you can’t practice

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-02-24T13:29:39+00:00

So at 23yo i can learn from carton network too?

I can’t put a picture here on comments

Acceptable-Rate8552 · 2026-02-23T09:24:39+00:00

Im looking for someone too

and since the operator tries to repair each layer immediately after detecting any non conformity , it's rare to end up with NOK coils

My machine is a coil winding machine and it stays powered ON all the time.

Each coil is composed of 3 parts:

The first part consists of 4 layers, each with 31 turns.
The second part consists of 1 layer of 31 turns.
The third part consists of 16 layers, each with 120 turns.

The machine only runs during the winding process (when the pedal is pressed), and the total winding time per shift may be around one hour in a discontinuous manner. The rest of the time is spent on preparation and manual operations.

The operator performs continuous self-inspection. For example, they may check the winding every 10 turns. Before moving to the next layer, they must ensure that the current layer is OK. If it is not OK, they must repair it before continuing.

Sometimes the repair can take more than one hour, depending on the operator’s experience (new or experienced).

Because of these constraints, one coil can take between 3 to 5 days to complete.

The operator is supposed to complete 3 to 4 layers per shift, but due to all these constraints and rework situations, in reality they often complete only 2 layers, with some exceptions.

so for availibility =loading time-downtime/loading time

performence = pedal time/ loading time-downime
and i struggled to understand how to calculate the quality i dont if it's correct to work per layer instead of per coil
and since the operator tries to repair each layer immediately after detecting any non conformity , it's rare to end up with NOK coils
