MACHINEMETRICS FEATURES

SIMPLE MACHINE INTEGRATION

Plug-and-Play universal machine connectivity and data collection from PLC's supporting protocols including: MTConnect, Fanuc, OPC-UA, UMATI, Mitsubishi, Citizen, Haas, Heidenhain, Siemens Sinumerik, Modbus, and Ethernet IP. MachineMetrics Edge supports digital and analog I/O for machines without a standard connectivity option to integrate even the most challenging equipment.

MACHINE DOWNTIME TRACKING

Knowing why machines are not running is key to understanding machine downtime and utilization problems. Having a touchscreen at each machine with an intuitive interface that asks the operator to categorize downtime as it's happening allows this information to be made available in real-time to managers in downtime pareto charts. For some events such as tool changeovers or part changeovers, these machine downtimes can be categorized automatically from machine data by the MachineMetrics rules engine.

REAL-TIME FACTORY FLOOR DASHBOARDS

Real-Time Dashboards give factory workers the information they need to make decisions that drive improvements. Simple color-coding provides an at-a-glance indication if the job is performing at or below expectations (against Parts Goal or OEE metrics) and is measured in real-time. The shop floor dashboard is often installed on monitors across the shop floor at each cell.

OPERATOR VIEW TABLETS

Our touchscreen interface allows for operators to add human-context to machine data with touch screen tablet interfaces mounted right at the machine tool. A “Google Maps for Operators”, the Operator View allows operators to categorize downtime, reject a part, and start/stop jobs right from the machine to manage and record quality data.

ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS

For any job that falls behind or machine that goes down, a text or email notification can be sent giving managers who aren't on the shop floor the information they need to take immediate action. Alerts and notifications are entirely customizable, allowing you to notify the right person at the right time when an issue arises.

OEE PERFORMANCE REPORTING

MachineMetrics is a robust OEE solution that automates the reporting of OEE by using machine's scheduled availability, performance of meeting ideal cycle times, and quality. Real-time OEE is available in various reports including the real-time dashboard, historical reports that can be compared by shift, and when viewing individual job/part reports. OEE information is presented in eminently understandable form, allowing managers to quickly identify issues that are related to a specific machining operation and help measure the effect of process improvements.

QUALITY TRACKING AND REPORTING

Operator can reject a part using the operator view. Quality managers are able to view the quality pareto in real-time and when there are new rejects, head to the machine in question, re-inspect the parts and re-allocate as necessary. All quality data can be tracked in MachineMetrics, eliminating the need for paper.

MACHINE UTILIZATION REPORTING

Manage and view real-time status of your machines across multiple departments and locations. Monitor machine utilization over time, and compare your company's data against industry benchmarks. Evaluate utilization trends over time. Justify the purchase of new machines by understanding excess capacity.
mm20-laptop_0027_Reports-Utilization_dropshadow-1

JOB SETUP/CHANGEOVER TRACKING

Shops will often changeover jobs frequently, and this can be the biggest source of lost production time for a business. Setup times for the same job can vary wildly by operator, or by shift. Only by tracking setup time can this be improved. MachineMetrics will track setup time by incorporating it into the workflow when dispatching jobs. After a job enters setup, the Operator View counts up to the expected setup time. All time beyond the expected setup time will be considered unplanned setup, and be visible in the downtime Pareto chart. Setup times for all Workenters are available for reporting, and that data can be exported to CSV for further analysis.

DETAILED MACHINE PRODUCTION ANALYTICS

MachineMetrics is a historian for all of your machine data - with the ability to export all of the machine's event history for any period of time. The timeline is useful for analyzing what happened and when on your machine. Information such as status, faults, programs, part cycles, and the job is displayed on the machine timeline. View the status over time of all your machines for a single day, or drill down into a single machine for a very detailed view. The cycles report provides statistical analysis on part cycles - often uncovering part cycle times that were potentially underestimated.

DETAILED PART NUMBER AND JOB ANALYTICS

MachineMetrics provides detailed reporting and analytics of your machining operations. Information such as cycle times, performance, number of parts produced, rejects, downtime reasons, and reject reasons can be reported on for each part operation. This information allows managers to quickly identify issues that are related to a specific machining operation and help measure the effect of process improvements. Multi-pallet machines are supported as MachineMetrics uses the program name to determine what operation and part number is being machined, eliminating the need for operator input.
