As the latest version of the vendor’s Line Efficiency Tracking Software (LETS) factory reporting software—designed to automate the process of collecting production data from production machinery and processes—Version 3.4 allows users to more accurately track overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in applications in which production rate is dictated by machine configuration.
It calculates OEE by applying an ideal rate for each part/machine
combination. This calculation method delivers greater accuracy of OEE
metrics in piece-part processes where design of the part limits the
speed of the job, says the vendor. The software also adjusts the ideal
rate by applying a factor based on configuration of the machine. In
processes in which multiple machine cycles are required to make a part,
machine speed is divided by that number of cycles. LETS Version 3.4
also includes a real-time performance dashboard, a new feature that
graphically compares the performance of current jobs and processes with
user-selectable benchmarks.

George Reed, with the help of Factory Technologies, was looking to further automate the processes at its quarries and make Ignition an organization-wide standard.
