FabEagle®LC (Line Controller) is our scalable control system for individual production lines. As a solution that delivers production control and traceability, it can handle any scenario from individual production machine to a fully interconnected production line. Comparable to an MES (Manufacturing Execution System), our line controller offers all the function modules needed for data acquisition, process control and visualization. The decisive advantages of the line controller are its scalability and short project run times. As a result, your production line can be fully automated and provide production data within just a few weeks.
Machine and equipment manufacturers are increasingly providing turnkey system solutions using modular and easily scalable software. The standardized interface integration in the line controller enables a quick and reliable connection to your machines and production lines.
FabEagle®LC – Your advantages at a glance
Process-focused line controller for minimal cycle times
Simplify your production processes by centrally managing recipes and intuitively controlling production orders directly on the line. Software-guided workflows ensure process stability on your production line and provide continuous quality assurance in a multiple variant production process.
Real-time data to minimize downtime
For us, creating transparency on the production line means giving users quick and clear access to process changes, alarms, and events. The digitalization of your production gives you transparency through a deeper understanding of the processes. Compare complex relations and identify bottlenecks early on – this will increase your team productivity and delivery reliability.
Reliable traceability of materials and products
Tracking data is essential to optimizing processes. This data provides you with important insights into the influence of individual process steps on the value chain. It also provides you, and ultimately your customers, with continuous proof of the quality of the manufactured products. Our line controller gives your operators and process engineers an overview of the production process at any time so they can quickly react to any deviations if necessary.
Overview of function modules
Visualization and evaluation
Line visualization: line layout for quick access to machine status, alarms, and order progress
Reporting: visualization of stored process, material, and machine data for user-defined evaluations
Worker guidance: support and data acquisition at workplaces with manual steps for rework, testing, and assembly work
Alarm statistics: analysis of machine malfunctions according to frequency and duration to identify optimization potential
Online process visualization: Presentation of trends of selected process data in real time to identify process deviations
Management and control
Line control: transport control and monitoring of material logistics for efficient operation of all production line modules
Work plan management: configuration of the manufacturing process in work plans plus definition of recipes, bill of material, and relevant parameters
Shift plans: definition of shifts, shift models and target figures for evaluations and calculation of performance indicators
Order management: synchronization of production orders with ERP systems or direct administration in the line controller and assignment of a work plan to each order
Recipe management: central management and provision of process parameters and settings for machine controls
User management: definition of user groups and authorizations
Data acquisition and delivery
Material tracking: traceability from raw material to finished products across the entire production line down to lot size 1
Process data acquisition: retrieval and storage of process and material data relating to quality for every process step
Machine and operating data acquisition: automatic and manual logging of machine status, product defects and lots to calculate performance indicators
Archiving: memory-optimized storage of relevant product data and production statistics
We see interface integration as part of our service and solution portfolio, so we support you with the integration of complex data interfaces such as OPC UA, TCP/IP, REST, databases and S7 (PLC). Our support starts with the specification of the interfaces together with your machine and plant suppliers and extends to 24/7 software support once commissioning has been successfully completed.
For a flexible and scalable level of integration, we use our FabEagle®Connect low-code integration solution, which supports all common interface protocols.
