Mobile BI for Manufacturing - SmartKPI
Smart KPI gives you mobile business intelligence allowing you to remotely access your manufacturing operational kpi data directly from any mobile device.
Short Interval Control
Short Interval Control - SIC - is a powerful method for improving production efficiency by focusing attention on major losses and forecasting risks over short time spans. SIC takes kaizen continuous improvement methodology and gives it a 'pulse'. This repeated focusing of attention on production losses accelerates the cycle of incremental improvement.
Improved Shop Floor Management
PlantRun systems continuously collect data from all monitored machines. This information is then presented on a PC display as a 'shop floor overview', which provides an instant picture of the condition of every machine. Similarly large format overhead displays can provide relevant KPI information in production areas.
OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Since it’s original development in Japan in the 1970’s OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness has become a widely used metric for measuring manufacturing efficiency. OEE is the main tool of the Total Productive Maintenance improvement program and is used to reduce or eliminate the “Six Big Losses” that limit production.
