Monitoring machine uptime

Challenges/Problems

1. Lack of authentic and reliable machine/production data.
2. Long time to download valuable data from Excel or ERP files.
3. Lack of information to the operator about the current progress of the order.
4. Data recorded off-line in paper form of poor quality.

Solution

1. The ability to make decisions based on reliable and objective data transformed from raw data from monitored machines.
2. Management of "constraints", so-called bottlenecks through special monitoring of the machines on which they occur.
3. Definition of the value of key production performance indicators.
4. Immediate display of performance indicators to the operator at the machine.

People using the solution

1. Production Manager - sees performance metrics for the entire factory and has insight into individual machines
2. Production Area Manager/Leader - sees the timeline for the area, when a machine/line slows down what kind of downtime it has and knows when to react.
3. CIO Manager - knows what are the main reasons for downtime and slowdowns, analyzes data for different products and different machines, knows the priority of problems and knows what improvement actions to take first
4. Team leaders and operators - see line/machine performance at the bench, know what the production status is, can react immediately to stick to the production plan.

Advantages

1. Quick installation and start-up of the system - 1 day.
2. Online access to data and analysis via the web.
3. Transparent pricing (hardware + firmware + updates+ technical support).
4. Proven solution - more than 30,000 installations worldwide.
