| Automatic
data collection will increase your uptime! |
Progressive
companies today need to better understand downtime
and reject causes to improve their manufacturing performance.
Automated tracking of this information will increase
your productivity and quality. ProductionAce software
provides you with real time and historical information
allowing management to perform effective root cause
analysis.

Our
Machine Data Transducers (MDT) allow operators to
categorize downtime and reject or scrap events easily
through a keypad or automatically though direct electrical
connection to your machine. The Down/Reject screen
shown here provides you with the total downtime by
category, as well as reject counts. Each machine on
the system can have it’s own set of downtime
and reject codes!

happening five times an hour with a loss of one
hour of production per shift."
