About Ashley Tizard

PlantRun Continuous improvement is the only way to stay ahead of the competition and maintain a competitive edge. My passion is helping manufacturers improve productivity and profitability by- Automatically tracking utilisation and OEE - Improving visibility of KPIs for all - Automating data transfers to provide bi-directional integration - Removing paperwork to free staff to improve, not process data - Improving awareness of Health & Safety After over 40 years of providing systems to improve production in industries from textiles and food, through timber, to aerospace. Pretty much name an industry and we have put a system in!#plantrun #oee #continuousimprovement #manufacturing • PAMS After delivering a system over 15 years ago to replace an old lamp display board used for ATC alarms at Jersey Airport, I was captivated. Since then we have continued to supply and develop PAMS to help air traffic engineers. In 2015 I signed a 22 year contract to supply PAMS for the UK MOD airfields as part of Project Marshall. This expanded our capability from commercial airports into the defence industry. The level of documentation was huge but we passed the tests and are now delivering operational systems. Some of our original systems included remote alarm monitoring on the airfield but we have gone further with involvement in the UK’s first digital air traffic control tower, monitoring alarms from London City Airport at NATS Swanwick.#atc #digitaltower #alarmmanagement #nats • Prodigy Our Prodigy SCADA software is at the heart of our systems and I started as a programmer. I loved it but over time found that working with a huge variety of customers on applications I had not even thought about was even more rewarding. Our test and control applications are used in industries ranging from pharmaceutical to automotive and aerospace. We have Approved Systems Integrators and OEMs in countries as far flung as Australia, specialising in applications as diverse as autoclave control and lighting systems. Customers who used our systems 40 years ago are still with us. Ask them why and they will tell you that we provide good solutions and even better support.#SCADA #HMI #controlandmonitoring #greatsupport • The Future and Industry 4.0 We are moving in a direction to take the huge quantity of data our IOT systems collect and provide qualitative information that has been automatically analysed. This will give answers back to busy production, maintenance and engineering managers. Smart working is the answer.#IOT #industry40 #smartworking
