Today’s top Swiss-style manufacturers understand the major key to growth and success – getting the most productivity out of machines.
MachineMetrics improves production efficiency in Swiss manufacturing with:
- Real-time dashboards offer visualization of utilization, parts vs goal, OEE, set-up tracking, and machine status.
- Instant notifications via text and email when a machine goes inactive or when a machine falls behind its production goals allowing factory workers to respond to problems immediately.
- Reduce downtime with an operator interface mounted right at the machine for categorizing downtime in real-time that’s easy to use and engaging. Pareto charts are generated automatically from this data.
- Motivate operators and improve accountability by setting machine uptime or OEE goals that are viewable from operator interfaces, and shop-floor dashboards.
- Detailed machine analytics that will report all machine information such as faults, programs, cycles, status, overrides in a timeline view, and exportable for any period of time.
- Detailed job analytics that will report on how long a job took to run, downtime & quality pareto, setup times, and OEE job efficiency.
- Track quality in real-time eliminating the need for paper NCR's and allowing quality managers to react immediately when an operator rejects parts.
- Simple machine integration for Marubeni Citizen-Cincom machines with M700 controls, and Star, Tsugami, and Hanwah machines with FANUC i-Series controls. MachineMetrics integrators can come on site to connect to older equipment. No need for expensive IT hardware and support.
This case study details all of the fantastic gains that Gary Bruner, president and CEO of Carolina Precision Manufacturing, was able to see after implementing MachineMetrics including:
- Increased production efficiency
- Optimized machine utilization
- Full data visibility
- Operator accountability
