- Closed-loop system connected to the plant floor that measures productivity and other equipment KPIs in real time
- Production visualization that improves downtime, OEE performance, and job performance over time
- Measurements like production cycles, job metrics, quality, downtime, scrap, and machine status.
5 STEPS TO PRODUCTION MONITORING SUCCESS
1. Rally The Troops
Identify your core team. These champions will be responsible for defining the vision of how production monitoring becomes a jumping off point for Smart Manufacturing in a way that works for their needs. Not the other way around.
2. Identify Your Biggest Pain Points
Start pragmatically with one line, area, or process within your business that causes the most headaches.
3. Targeting Your KPIs
What matters most to you? Is it improved production cycles, less downtime or scrap, or improved quality? Determine what you will use to define success and be open to new measurements you may not have considered. You may be surprised at the new opportunities that open up after a few rounds of improvements.
4. Start Monitoring
Connect to your existing machines and equipment to close the loop in your production cycle. Once you are connected and gain real time visibility, you’ve unleashed your potential. Your operators will be empowered to make decisions faster with confidence. This helps to make bottlenecks or micro stops a distant memory.
5. Keep Checking -In
After gaining initial results the job is not done. Use those metrics to your advantage for on-going efficiencies and continuous improvement. You may be surprised at the new opportunities that open after a few rounds of improvements.
PRODUCTION MONITORING UNLOCK OPPORTUNITIES
Gain A New Perspective
Clear visuals keep you on top of production and always in the know. Customize your dashboards to show you what you need to know, when you need to know it.
