What is real-time production tracking?

Real-time production tracking lets you monitor machines and collect downtime, causes of stoppages, production times (and much more).

 

This tracking also provides indicators such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) in real time, calculated from reliable data collected and processed directly by the MES (Manufacturing Execution System).

 

Access to this data lets you set your course and strengthen your continuous improvement approach by deploying corrective actions.

Production tracking features:

  • Retrieving data from the various machines
  • Connecting to PLCs
  • Real-time management of shops and machines
  • Tracking rates, MOs and scrap in real time
  • Comprehensive real-time data acquisition

What production tracking brings:

  • Avoiding double entry of information by centralising it in the MES
  • Getting more reliable data (lower data-entry error rate)
  • Collecting the various data on MOs and machines (planned quantity, quantity produced, variance, incidents…)
  • Processing data from multiple sources (including the link with the ERP) to act directly on productivity
  • Monitoring that production runs smoothly
