Products 4 Automation’s Movicon™ SCADA is providing an open, flexible & low cost way to cut facilities management costs at the Leonardo Shopping Centre, near Rome, the biggest and most modern in Italy. The Movicon platform is delivering the benefits of centralised monitoring of assets to facilities managers at the Centre, enabling the integration and monitoring of building features such as climate, lighting, heating, electrical distribution and many more.
The Leonardo Shopping Centre covers an area of almost 100,000 sq metres, housing a hypermarket and 210 shops on two floors. The two entities, shops and hypermarket, have independent systems engineering; each one controlled and supervised by two supervisory PCs using Movicon Scada/HMI with connected subsystems.
The various subsystems are connected through supervisory workstations, which are linked through three distinct buses. The heating control systems use a LON network; the air conditioning systems use a Modbus network; and the illumination and distribution systems use a PLC on a Profibus network. Each subsystem is connected to the Movicon supervisor, where information is brought together through fieldbuses.

New Felten OEE-Lite Enables Companies on Limited Budgets to Monitor & Analyse Production Performance Without Full MES
Products4Automation’s new PILOT OEE-Lite, from production intelligence specialist, FELTEN is a small, low cost, highly functional OEE module that enables organisations on limited budgets to monitor their production performance without having to spend excessive amounts on full MES solutions.
The PILOT OEE-Lite enables users to benchmark and record a wide range of production data, analyse it, and then use the resulting information to make both strategic and incremental changes to their plants to achieve OEE improvements.
OEE-Lite is designed for easy interface to MES, SCADA (including P4A’s Progea Movicon system) and PLC systems, plus Databases, the Internet, sensors and HMI. It offers the key benefit of enabling companies to start small in their OEE activity, prove the benefits to senior management and then expand the system incrementally and seamlessly to full TPM.
Using OEE-Lite, parameters such as Downtime, Machine Utility, Productivity, Trends, Energy usage, Output Levels, Efficiency, Part Production, and many more can be measured and displayed on standard PCs – including laptops – in just the way clients require it. The module includes a PILOT I/O server and one line licence for up to fifteen machines. It provides predefined reports and KPI sets, KPI management and a workflow engine.
