What Else Is New


ei³ Releases New Commercial Website
(03/18/2005) - As you may have noticed, ei³ has released a new commercial website to better highlight the company's core focuses and strengths. The company's new focus continues to be on OEMs and manufacturers, but focusing on remote service enablement and remote monitoring, or productivity tools. Once you log in, the client site will maintain the same look, feel and functionality.

Client site will have new features
(11/22/2004) - On December 3rd, the ei³ client web site will be upgraded to have some new features. One improvement is that the web pages will become more "printer friendly" by automatically adjusting to fit the size of your printer. Another is that for improved readability the color of the background will changed to be white instead of light green. Finally, we have created a communications channel to alert you about products and services that may have a positive impact on your business.

New Machine Data Console
(6/17/2004) - ei³ has developed a new machine data console to provide customers with an overview of all monitored process lines, upon logging onto their website. This tool will help improve access & visibility of data so that ei³ users are more aware of what is happening throughout the plant.

As pictured below, this new console uses green, yellow and red color coding to identify machine status, and provides details of day, shift and batch recipe performance, as well as summaries of the most recent machine trouble tickets. Further, from this console, customers can link directly into shift, day, batch, and downtime incident reports.

Shift & Day Performance Reports in Recipe Management provide helpful statistics and graphs
(4/23/2004) - Our Recipe Management product has been further upgraded to include summary reporting by day or individual shift. These performance reports, accessible from the Recipe Management area under the heading "Perf. Reports," detail the OEE, productivity, and up and down times, with additional information about batch performance and roll specifics. With ease, one can access an overview of machine performance on a day-by-day or shift-by-shift basis.

ei³ can also create customized performance reports, calling on any set of machine details or manufacturing statistics that our customers desire. These reports would be accessible in the "Perf. Reports" section of Recipe Management, as well.

Run Time Estimator and Recipe Setpoint Optimizer now available in Recipe Management
(3/30/2004) - ei³'s Recipe Management System has 2 new features: (1) The Run Time Estimator, a planning application, which uses historical batch performance information to calculate the amount of time required to manufacture a given amount of material at a future date; (2) The Optimizer, a recipe editing tool, which utilizes historical batch performance, setpoint changes during batch runs, and batch runs' overall OEE to calculate the optimal performance setpoints for each product recipe.

These products are accessible in Recipe Management under the "Tools" menu. They can be tied into any financial planning system or ERP at the customer's request.

See your batch, recipe and roll performance using Recipe Management
(8/30/2003) -Recipe Management has been expanded to enable you to track the performance of each batch or recipe you load. This utility can be accessed from the Recipe Management area by selecting "Batch Perf.". From the selection screens you can pick the time frame and batch. The report shows you OEE, UEE, productivity, alarms detected, downtimes, and even trouble tickets logged during the batch. Each roll produced during the batch also has a report that can be accessed by clicking on the Roll ID#.

This tool gives you the power to quickly see the productivity, quality and output of your process line.

Download raw data to use with MS Excel or your favorite statistical analysis software
(2/21/2003) -Recipe Management has been expanded to enable raw data to be exported and used with your favorite analysis package. This powerful utility allows you to select which parameters that you want and the day you are interested in. The data is then streamed securely to your computer as a comma separated value file (.CSV) a format used by most popular programs.
