SCADA and digital shot peening process documentation
SCADA covers the shot peening machines, records assigned parameters and alarms, while digital documentation follows the part from receipt to shipment.
SP Center SCADA covers all shot peening machines. It records parameters assigned to the process configuration and all alarms; an alarm involving a critical process parameter stops the operation.
Which parameters can SCADA record?
- shot flow
- pressure
- table speed
- feed speed and position
- turbine speed
- robot position
The recorded set depends on machine and process configuration; the list does not mean every parameter exists on every machine.
How do alarms and process interruption work?
SCADA records every alarm. When an alarm involves a critical process parameter, the operation is interrupted. The record supports event assessment; the subsequent decision follows the applicable process documentation.
How are data linked to the part flow?
Data and documentation are linked from receipt, through processing, to shipment. The identification level—part, batch or order—depends on agreed requirements.
What is included in digital documentation?
It includes work cards, production guides and process technology. The system supports version control, step confirmation and confirmation of process completion.
How does RFID authorization work?
RFID cards authorize employees within the digital execution and confirmation flow. An RFID record alone is not a public claim of qualification for every possible operation.
How long are records retained?
Records are retained according to customer requirements. Period, format and data scope are agreed for the project.
What report can a customer receive?
A customer can request a report or data extract within the agreed scope. Content depends on the process, traceability level and confidentiality requirements.
Does SCADA replace Almen, coverage and media control?
No. SCADA records monitored parameters and alarms. Almen intensity, coverage, Peenscan and media control answer different questions and remain applicable where required.
Frequently asked questions
Does every alarm stop the process?
No. Every alarm is recorded, but the process is stopped when the alarm involves a critical process parameter.
Is every parameter available on every machine?
The recorded set depends on machine and process configuration. Agree the required data set for the project.
Does RFID prove operator qualification?
RFID authorizes actions in the digital flow. It is not a stand-alone proof of every industry qualification.
Can a customer request a data extract?
Yes. A report or extract can be provided on request within the agreed project scope.
