SectorLeak detection systems

The leak detection system model in the plastics and rubber family. Narrow in scope and useful when you have this equipment, with the family's usual caveat that two published versions exist and they are not interchangeable.

Where it sits in the stack

Built on PlasticsRubber GeneralTypes, alongside the other machine-specific members of the family.

The types that matter

TypeWhat it carries
LeakDetectionSystemTypeThe leak detection system, with its status and results.

Using it on a real machine

  1. Check which version the machine speaksLDS has shipped at 1.00 and 1.02. Read the ModelUri and version from the server.
  2. Treat results as quality dataA leak test result is a pass or fail on a part, which makes it a quality input rather than a process value.

What it gives you for OEE

Contributes to quality, not availability. Test results map onto pass and fail counts for a quality figure; the machine's own state and counters come from the rest of the family or the Machinery building blocks.

Try it free: No free public server exposes this model as far as we know. To see it you need a machine that implements it or a vendor demo. If you find a public endpoint, tell us and we will add it.

Gotchas

  • Two published versions, 1.00 and 1.02. Confirm which one you are talking to.
  • A narrow model - do not expect it to describe the whole machine it is attached to.
Verify before you rely on this: Narrow and less widely implemented than the rest of the family. The type inventory on this page is deliberately short. We list only type names we are confident of and would rather publish five correct ones than twelve with four wrong. Browse a real server or the released nodeset for the complete list.

Once the machine speaks a companion spec, the OEE mapping is portable across vendors, which is the point at which analytics stops being a per-machine project.
