equipment operating efficiency at maximum with real-time
manufacturing dashboard. |

...by
detecting slowdowns, bottlenecks and problems
immediately, before production suffers. System
users report 5% to 15% productivity gains merely
from monitoring the shop floor in real-time.
Track every machine and department/group performance
in real-time with color coded "dashboard".

"A 5% increase in productivity on 20 machines is equal to getting an extra machine for the cost of the system."
David Hidding, Dana Molded Products |

|
| Increase productivity by eliminating unnecessary machine adjustments. |
|
Operators and managers can see how long a machine takes to stabilize, so adjustments aren't made prematurely during stabilization periods or at shift/job/operator change. Displays of machine parameters and Setup Memo on MDT eliminates machine setup guesswork and maintains consistent machine settings between shifts.
"The number of presses running at or better than standard cycle has gone from approximately 50%-60% to 85%-95%."
Dennis Demet, S.C. Johnson, (Johnson Wax) |

...with this Machine Detail screen. It displays complete information about an individual machine:
- Shift and Job Totals
- The product running and tooling for it
- Work Order and Product description
- Real-Time machine rate/cycle time
- Runtime and downtime data
- Cavities/molds/tools running (parts per cycle)
