Production and machine data acquisition means: The collection of information needed for the processes of a smooth operation. By reading out machine statuses and simultaneously evaluating reasons for downtime, it is possible to improve production processes and uncover weak points in production. An improvement in throughput, quality and the reduction of downtimes are the result. The following points are recorded as standard and can be extended to the smallest detail at the customer’s request:
– Production quantities
– cycle times
– machine utilization
– downtimes
– reasons for downtimes
– Machine conditions
– Energy consumption
This results in various advantages:
– Analysis of production processes
– Optimization of machine running times
– Evaluation of machine downtimes
– Reporting of machine malfunctions via SMS or e-mail
– Provision of data for the continuous improvement process
