PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY42 PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 3.2025the addition of water and sand throughout the entire process. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual determination of the sand and return sludge density.To ensure that each mixture is continuously monitored, density measurement is carried out in real time after each process step at the following positions in the AAC plant:1. Wet ball mill2. Sand slurry tank3. Return slurry tank4. Cutting basin before the transition to the return slurry tankEach pipe loop scale is equipped with a manually operated outlet. This enables uncomplicated and clean sampling to regularly verify the displayed values by means of an independent laboratory test.Technical Data%u2022 Standard nominal diameter DN 100%u2022 Manual sampling device%u2022 Weight measurement via load cell (200 kg)%u2022 Two compensators for decoupling from the piping systemMasa Production Reporting System (AAC)The Masa Production Reporting System is an advanced digital solution designed to support the coordination of workflows, tasks and resources of the company. Productivity, efficiency, and cooperation within the production plant can thus be optimised. It includes two presentation levels (frontend) specifically tailored to the target groups %u2018plant operators%u2019 and %u2018decision-makers%u2019. They allow access to all product-relevant data and conditions from mixing to packaging. An SQL database (backend) structures and stores the data. The interconnection of two hard disks and the inversion of the data (RAID 1) guarantee for a complete redundancy. Thus, the Masa system ensures a high degree of fail-safety.Customer Benefits%u2022 Enhanced productivity: Real-time data allows for precise coordination of resources, reducing cycle and reaction times.%u2022 Improved quality management: The system traces quality deviations throughout the entire production process, enabling detailed analysis and correction.%u2022 Increased automation: Various plant components automatically adapt themselves for product changes, reducing paper-based processes and human error.%u2022 Reduced administrative efforts: Centrally available data minimises manual recording and transmission, making information immediately accessible to decision-makers.%u2022 Efficient performance analyses: Prepared data enables the detection of strengths and weaknesses, helping to organize processes more efficiently.%u2022 Comprehensive documentation: The system documents the entire production process, linking finished products with their production data to identify possible mistakes.Main FunctionalitiesProduction Data Acquisition (PDA): Gathers and evaluates key operational metrics such as waiting times, processing times, capacity utilisation, and availability.Locking of the processing station: Locks a processing station depending on the product to be manufactured, ensuring all parameters are correctly adjusted before production or treatment begins. Key functions include an automation of product change and examination of set-up parameters.Traceability: Enables complete tracking of product history, aiding in quality control and issue identification.User-Specific Presentation Levels:%u2022 For Plant Operators: Customisable visualisation with the familiar Masa user interface, with a Dashboard of the most important data and Sub-levels such as order edit, order management, cast details and detailed production tracking.%u2022 For Decision Makers: Interactive visualisations and business analysis functions using Microsoft Power BI, including a Main Page with important key figures and various detailed Sub-pages such as output in relation to the mixing, cutting, and packaging processes or the raw material consumption per recipe within a defined period.For further information, please read the Masa Bluepaper Production Reporting System.
