DATA SOURCE AGNOSTIC BROWSER-BASED MONITORING DISPLAY FOR MONITORING MANUFACTURING OR CONTROL PROCESS

摘要

Monitoring displays on a browser run on devices connected to a server node to render the displays for manufacturing and process control for flat sheet products such as paper, rubber, plastic and packaging. Browser-based web displays access data from different data sources without any modification of the displays. Common communication layer includes: quality control system human-machine interface controller adapted to expose HTTP endpoints; and data aggregator that is connected to the controller and is data source agnostic. Device for monitoring and controlling process includes: web server with a Quality Control System (QCS) web display view and QCS display data web Application Programmer Interface, with the web server being connected to common communication layer. Web browser includes QCS web display, wherein the web browser is located on a zero-install client; and work station that includes an HMI display that comprises a QCS HMI control, wherein the web display can access data.
