Manufacturing

Data Intelligence

Real-time data capture and analysis on what is happening in the factory. Using data to improve efficiencies, yield and quality.  

Data Capture

We make sure your business is leveraging all available data sources: from designing operator data entry screens, to capturing automated equipment performance, to integrating ERP system information

Analysis

Along with production, safety and environmental metrics we specialise in prioritising and tracking manufacturing losses. Calculating the dollar value of all losses ensures you are always working on the issues with the biggest impact to the bottom line

Expertise

Assisting companies with the effective resource allocation and action elements is all part of our service​

Providing Business 
Intelligence Solutions

We work with all levels of an organisation from operators to team leaders, engineering and general managers through to the corporate level to implement systems at plant level or across an enterprise.  

We work with all levels of your organisation from operators to team leaders, engineering and general managers through to the corporate level to implement tailored reporting solutions. This includes ensuring that reports are effectively integrated in to your business’s review structures – shift handovers, daily production reviews, weekly steering meetings etc.

We design integration and data capture, reporting systems and implement at all levels of the business.

The Dollar Value of Manufacturing Losses

Manufacturing businesses track losses using a variety of measures. Lost time might be measured as percent OEE or hours of downtime. Lost quality might be measured as percent Downgrade or number of customer returns. But given this information how do we ensure our improvement efforts are always focussed on the highest priority losses?

By using dollars.

Calculating the dollar value of all losses provides a straightforward prioritisation tool understood by everyone and ensures you are always working on the issues with the biggest impact to the bottom line.

Single Fastest Way  
to Drive Improvements

Our problem solving solutions are the single, fastest way to eliminate top line issues and drive improvements.  While many automation control companies focus on machine controls and programming, we specialise in data acquisition, integration, analysis and reporting to give all levels of a manufacturing organisation, from operators to site managers, the information they need to successfully run and improve business performance.

Effectivness & Efficiencies

Identifing and reporting the OEE percentage of manufacturing time provides true efficiencies, lost time and lost raw materials all in real-time.  When we covert losses to dollars, this provides incredible clarity and prioritisation.
