ShopVue's Shop Floor Control system allows manufacturers to track machines as a part of an integrated approach to production tracking. Have you wondered whether your factory operations are "machine centric"? Do you have machines that are critical - if one's down, there's a major impact on workflow? Do you track machine performance rather than labor time? Do you need to develop and measure both labor and machine standards? Do you have separate systems for machine tracking that are costly to maintain and not easily reconciled?
If yes, you'll be excited to hear that ShopVue offers Machine Monitoring software. With little or no extra effort on the part of the Operator, ShopVue's Machine Monitoring solution is designed to provide an integrated approach to the collection, statusing and historical reporting of this important OEE information.
ShopVue's Machine Monitoring Software supports both Attended Operations and Unattended Operations:
Attended Operations require that an Operator always be present while the machine is running. In Attended Operations, machine tracking information is automatically derived as a byproduct of the Operator doing his normal labor reporting.
Unattended Operations do not require constant monitoring. In this case, ShopVue tracks machine information based on Pure Machine Transactions. Pure Machine Transactions can run across shift boundaries and can be started/ stopped by different Operators.
Machine Monitoring Functions
- Optimized User Interface reduces entry by allowing Operator to "inherit" one or multiple jobs (Orders, Operations, etc.) that were already running from previous shift
- Real-time Status Display shows current status of each machine: scheduled idle, running, down, maintenance in progress and awaiting work
- Individual Machine Schedules store "scheduled idle" time and consider this when calculating utilizations and other OEE metrics
- Machine Timepoint Table creates a record for each change in state over the life of the machine.
- Machine Tracking is specifically optimized to support straight-forward development of custom reports and graphs.
- Idle Time Suppression conceals small intervals of idle time that would otherwise cause too jittery a status display (and unnecessary alarms)
- Pre-packaged Downtime Pareto Report helps you analyze and track machine downtime occurrences by reason code
- Machine Utilization Report shows labor and machine efficiencies based on what was on machine during chosen period.
- Machine History Report gives a pictorial view of machine state over a chosen period
Benefits of Using ShopVue's Machine Monitoring Solution:
- Less Operator time at terminal, reduced training
- Quicker reaction to problems like breakdowns
- Custom reports in hours versus days
- Information essential to process improvement
- Data to support Preventative Maintenance schedules and machine overhaul/ replacement decisions
