Vespland Mobile Deployment
Our automation engineer Furkan and our software developer Sarah have successfully deployed the Vespland Mobile application at the Brunsbüttel facility, gaining valuable experience in the process. Their deployment began with a meticulously planned tour of the facility, during which they, along with the on-site contact person, visited various measurement points. There, they inspected the installed field devices and recorded them in detail using the app. This process involved not only photographing the devices but also capturing their serial numbers and documenting the location where each device was installed in the process control technology (PLT) station. This detailed recording created a comprehensive data base essential for the ongoing management and maintenance of the devices.
Furkan and Sarah paid particular attention to capturing the information required for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). They ensured that all relevant data was fully and accurately recorded in the app to optimally represent the entire lifecycle of the devices. This careful process was significantly facilitated by the use of NFC tags (Near Field Communication). The NFC tags were affixed directly to the devices and contained crucial information such as the manufacturer and serial numbers, as well as the exact PLT station. Thanks to these tags, later identification of the devices is always possible, which represents a significant time-saving, especially for repairs or maintenance.
In addition to documenting the field devices, they also focused on recording the I/O cards in the facility's electrical room. They approached this task with equal thoroughness, documenting all relevant data. At the end of their deployment, they transferred the collected information to the Vespland platform, making it immediately available for further processing and analysis. During their deployment, they also noted that there is room for improvement in the app. They identified specific optimization suggestions that will be considered in future updates to the application. At the same time, they took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the challenges of on-site practical work associated with this type of data collection. Thanks to the user-friendly interface of the Vespland application, Furkan and Sarah were able to quickly and efficiently utilize the app's advanced features. This enabled them to precisely document the entire lifecycle of the devices while also providing valuable feedback for improving the application.
Our app, Vespland Mobile, thus proves to be an ideal solution for companies looking to efficiently manage their technical devices and comprehensively document their lifecycle. With the ability to operate both online and offline and transfer data to Vespland at any time, Vespland Mobile offers unparalleled flexibility and reliability for use in various industrial environments.
