The software allows manufacturers to make informed decisions about
manufacturing processes and identify ways to drive operational
improvement. It provides visibility into factors such as equipment
downtime, changeover effectiveness, waste and line efficiency, and
supports root-cause analysis by automatically linking downtime events
to a specific causes in real time. In addition, it calculates KPIs and
enables the creation of ad-hoc performance reports that can be shared
via the Web to help continuously improve production. The software is
beneficial for clients with a need for rich MES capability, but must
optimize investment and rapidly prove value due to limited
IT/Engineering resources, says the vendor.
