…when it\u2019s a Phoenix Contact ILC.<\/p>\n

\"ILCToday, the need for visibility into process data by senior management is not a desired feature, it is a requirement.<\/p>\n

By having this functionality, any deviation from set objectives for business performance can be addressed in a timely manner. This way, performance can be kept at optimum levels at all times and continuous improvements can be made to the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

The key to becoming more efficient is to obtain real time data from the manufacturing process as it occurs and, as quickly as possible, enter this information into a relational database.<\/p>\n

MySQL and Microsoft SQL are the most widely utilised databases in the commercial sector.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Contact has developed the means not only to communicate with a SQL database from the manufacturing process, but directly insert multiple datatypes into a database for report creation – whether that be a dashboard, front end or KPI report.<\/p>\n

\"communicate<\/p>\n

By using the Phoenix Contact SQL Function Block Library<\/a> and the Phoenix Contact ILC 100 Series or AXC Controller<\/a>\u00a0, this can be achieved very competitively and with astonishing ease.<\/p>\n

\"SQL<\/p>\n

The performance dashboard above can be produced easily from the data derived directly from the ILC connected to your process.<\/p>\n
