TSS-NET Software
TSS-NET Software
Excel Based Program for Status Viewing, Data Collection, Reporting, and Setup
IMPAX TSS-NET is a set of PC software that links IMPAX TSS-3, TSS-4, TSS-6, and TSS-8 units to a wired or wireless network, allowing shop floor management and providing historical data collection. This software provides instant access to information that has traditionally taken days or weeks to compile. IMPAX TSS-NET enables the user to get real-time information about the shop floor machinery, and to fine-tune the manufacturing process as needed, resulting in increased productivity and improved quality.
The IMPAX TSS-NET system can be divided into four areas:
Viewing Status
This activity gives real-time tracking of each machine's status, each operator's status, and each part's status, all from any networked PC.
Shop floor information is shown, click pdf for screenshots.
Viewing Status (PDF)
Data Collection
IMPAX TSS-NET supports automatic data collection. Machine data, downtime occurrence logs, and part and operator data are collected periodically throughout the day. Data can be collected automatically across a serial or Ethernet network (wired or wireless), or by directly connecting to each TSS unit once daily. After collection, the data can be analyzed and reviewed via the TSS-NET program. This data is stored in a comma-delimited format so that it can be imported into reporting programs or streamed into database programs, for further analysis and evaluation.
Reporting
All real-time information screens have a "Print Screen" function to print a report of the information currently displayed. But TSS-NET also offers customizable reports on collected data. Lists and summaries of the data can be generated and printed, using Excel macros and pivot-table technology. Additionally, the comma-delimited files can be imported to a program of the user's choice, for total flexibility to do further analysis and reporting.
System Setup
TSS-NET's setup mode allows entry and editing of:
Up to ninety (90) TSS units can be connected to any one PC on the network. Wired and wireless Ethernet networks are supported, as well as serial connections.
