Modern, Real-Time Machine Monitoring
Configurable real-time manufacturing dashboards monitor machines and provide key performance indicators.
Machine Monitoring
With an unlimited amount of screens available, views on the screen can show the current status of the equipment, part counts, target utilization, OEE metrics, downtime Paretos, downtime summaries, timeline views, shop floor layouts, Caron TMAC status, and much more. Additionally, each view can be configured to display the data in multiple ways, so you see the metrics exactly as you need them.
OEE Monitoring
DataXchange OEE software uses real-time equipment monitoring as well as automatic and manual collection of planned and unplanned downtimes to improve asset utilization. The DataXchange OEE software provides machine downtime tracking allowing for the identification of the waste, while automatic tracking of the machine activities allows for capturing the run rate.
Machine Downtime Tracking
DataXchange offers a variety of machine downtime tracking methods to track both planned and unplanned machine downtime. Some downtimes can be pulled automatically from the equipment, and scheduled planned downtimes such as lunch breaks can be entered automatically with shop floor data entry rules.
Shop Floor Data Entry
DataXchange offers an Operator Data Interface (ODI) that integrates with automatic machine data collection and allows shop floor personnel to enter information relating to planned and unplanned downtime reasons, work orders and operations, part counts, and much more.
