Real-time Data is the Key to Improved Manufacturing Productivity
Maximize your manufacturing capacity with the Production Process shop floor data collection solution.
Automate Your Data Collection to Supercharge Your Efficiency
Automate and Streamline Data Collection
Centralize data company-wide in real time so you to make faster, more effective decisions, while driving growth.
Faster Information Flow
Real-time data provides actionable insights into machine and employee efficiency, productivity, downtime, waste, estimated costs vs. actual costs, and more.
Visibility Across Your Organization
Gain unparalleled access to the most accurate information to make decisions and improve efficiency based on data.
Shop Floor Data Collection Architecture
Connect
MDTs connect directly to ANY production machine’s electrical operating controls to collect machine downtime, production, performance and manufacturing OEE data.
Record
MDTs automatically record downtime, and can either prompt the Operator to enter the reason for the down event, or record downtime in multiple reasons from direct machine connections.
Adjust
Similarly, rejects are tracked automatically from direct machine connection(s) and from keypad Operator Input.
Inform
Plant floor and remote Production and Manufacturing OEE Scoreboards keep Operators productive and managers informed of reasons for stoppage, slowdowns.
Improve the Productivity of ANY Discrete Parts Manufacturing Process (Including Equipment)
Connect directly to all your production equipment with Machine Data Transducers (MDT’s) Without Native Data Connectivity.
- Connect directly to all types of production equipment through a family of Machine/Operator Data Transducers (MDT)
- Match your data collection, data display, operator interface and ERP integration requirements to individual machine functionality
Gain real-time insight into:
- Equipment
- Downtime
- Health
- OEE
- Utilization
- and more
Gain historical insight into trends across:
- Employees
- Machines
- Cells
- Shifts
- Jobs
- and more
Built to Maximize the Efficiency of Your Plant
- Reduce manufacturing downtime with Machine Data Terminals (MDT) and the ProductionAce software application
- Manage production, machines, people and OEE in real-time across a single plant or muli-site operations
- Gain visibility with real-time machine monitoring, downtime tracking, production monitoring and manufacturing OEE dashboards
Manage, Track and Automate Production
Downtime Tracking
Automatically capture, display and analyze causes for equipment downtime from ANY production machine; and capture reasons for equipment downtime.
Production Reporting
Production Monitoring Software collects data from ANY production machine. Eliminate manual data collection, improve inventory accuracy, develop true job costs.
Production Scheduling
Manufacturing Scheduling & Production Tracking system with Visual Scheduler integrates shop floor activity to calculate accurate job completion forecasts.
OEE, Lean Six Sigma
Automate OEE (Availability, Performance, Quality) data collection for DMAIC. Implement low cost, dynamic Visual Factory displays.
Predictive Maintenance
Replace Calendar PM with actual equipment run hours and cycle count scheduling. Preventive Maintenance Software uses MDTs to collect data on machines.
MES/ERP Integration
MES ERP integration provides visual dynamic scheduling, real-world job end forecasts, exact inventory, WIP and product cost data.
PERFORMANCE DISPLAYS
Display Key Performance Indicators Across the Shop Floor
- Large screen displays can show your choice of Key Performance Indicators such as individual machine downtime and its cause, defect counts, OEE, cycle time, production rate, etc
- Displays are color-coded to draw immediate attention to machine status and operating conditions
