Nomacorc was already usingWonderware System Platform,
MES and QI analyst to monitor its production operations, which
produce more than 7 million synthetic corks a day. Nomacorc’s
products are constructed by combining two layers of extrusion
on top of each other to create a breathable synthetic cork for
wine bottles.The company’s product has been a boon to the
wine industry because cork is an organic product that can be
contaminated and/or react adversely with wine. Prior to the
introduction of synthetic corks, it’s estimated that 10-15 percent
of all wines were contaminated with cork taint.

The newest version collects, calculates and contextualizes
data and metrics from multiple sources across the manufactur-
ing operation, puts it into a centralized storage and updates it
all in near real time. Optimized for retrieval, the information can
be used to monitor KPIs via customizable dashboards, as well as
for drill-down analysis and insights into operating and overall
business performance.

The company’s project to address this
was called the Electronic Initiative and the
first phase involved the implementation of
what it called the Equipment Monitoring
System or EMS.The software used in the
Equipment Monitoring System is theWon-
derware System Platform with theWon-
derwareWorkflow. Prior to implementa-
tion of the EMS, workers typically spent
up to 15 hours reviewing GMP packs. After
installation, workers only spend minutes
on the data because they are reviewing by
exception and not having to worry about
missing key items. In total, the company
estimates they are saving about 1100
man-hours per year by using the EMS.The
software also enables Fujirebio to comply
with 21 CFR 11 regulations for electronic
records and electronic signatures.
Looking ahead, the EMS provides
Fujirebio with an infrastructure for other
electronic data capture projects such as
MES/MOM, process automation and ERP
integration. £

Avantis PRiSM predictive analytics monitor
the real-time health and performance of criti-
cal assets to predict equipment failure or decay
points.The capabilities provided by artificial
intelligence, advanced pattern recognition and
sophisticated data mining can reduce mainte-
nance costs and increase availability, reliability
and capacity.
In aTuesday morning session at theWonder-
ware Conference, titled,“Past, Present, Predict,
Prevent”(OPS/INFO-03, Sept. 22, 10:45 a.m.),
Keith Chambers, Sean Gregorson and Paul
Shelton will explain how Avantis PRiSM can
help you achieve greater reliability and perfor-
mance from your production assets.
Avantis PRiSM can provide early warning
notification and diagnosis of equipment issues
days, weeks or months before failure—

White Paper:
Bridging the Gap in the Batch Market
Recipe management plays an important role in the
success of batch manufacturing. However, a huge
gap exists between the simpler HMI/SCADA recipe
management solutions offered and full blown batch
management and control packages. This white paper
from ARC Advisory Group discusses how Wonderware
Recipe Manager Plus software can fill that gap.

Analyzing the unit’s raw historical data with Avantis PRiSM,
it was clear that such a tool, had it been in place, could have
provided early warning that turbine thermal expansion issues
were developing and becoming chronic over the year.Through a
modeling exercise, the tool was able to detect the fault pat-
terns with early warnings six months prior to failure.The model
showed that the bearing vibrations were a symptom while
thermal expansion issues were the primary cause of the prob-
lem. Proactive remedial maintenance would have corrected the
thermal expansion problem before it led to bearing vibration
issues and the shutdown of the unit.
