Resource Monitoring and Data Collection
Collection of productive and non-productive events occurring on CNC/manual machines
- Machine status changes derived automatically (e.g. cycle start or alarm condition) via digital signals received from the machine tool, providing continuous data collection
- Manual entry of operating conditions and status changes using a simple HMI on the local shop floor terminal
- Access a dynamic real time view of the shop environment from anywhere on the LAN/WLAN
- Quickly identify the live status of each individual monitored resource as it is updated on the terminal by the operator
- Works order data collection, allowing shop floor jobs to be started, finished or paused, whilst also recording good/scrap parts and the duration of each operation
- Forward visibility of the workload using work queues - integrate to SFDC to support work in progress (FIFO) booking/tracking
- Simple integration with existing ERP/MRP/MES
Performance Analysis
Seiki analysis software acts upon a central data repository, providing an easy method of accessing, viewing and summarising the manufacturing performance data to generate reports comprising of relevant management information. The system provides detailed historical analysis of the productivity of each resource, as well as live progress and times of operations for individual works orders. Giving internal stakeholders to real time actionable data direct from the shop floor will enable them to make informed decisions and take action to resolve and prevent identified causes for issues that could be costing you money.
