Digital operator support in your line

As a production plant, you can use Shopfloor Guidance to simplify the organisation, prioritisation, management and documentation of all pending tasks. Changes to the machine status are discovered early by the system: If an intervention is required, Shopfloor Guidance actively informs the responsible operators. With clear instructions, the responsible groups in production are supported in solving problems quickly and preventing negative effects on production.

At a glance:

  • Automatically bundles and prioritises all tasks, informs the responsible personnel and thus helps to resolve problems in the line efficiently and at an early stage
  • Detects anomalies in production by monitoring individual data and limit values
  • Enables early reaction to required material interventions (processing and operating materials) and thereby prevents machine downtimes

 

Active notification for relevant interventions

Active notification for relevant interventions
  • Active notification if there is a machine downtime or if materials are required, regardless of where the operator is in the line
  • Grouping and prioritisation of all necessary interventions
  • Escalation path and forwarding option in the event of non-compliance
  • Condition monitoring: Useful and proven use cases already integrated
  • Digital knowledge database: Clear instructions for planned and unplanned interventions

Shopfloor Guidance in detail

Monitoring of machine conditions

Independent creation and management of alarms

  • Definition of individual monitoring and escalation rules based on linked data points
  • Condition monitoring systems can thereby be based on the following conditions: 
    • Limit value violations
    • Comparisons
    • Duration
    • Frequencies
  • Monitoring rules can include several data points with up to 72 conditions
  • Calculated data points based on static methods (e.g. average, median, total)

Visualisation of machine data for improved transparency of production behaviour

The selected data points are visualised with a line diagram:

  • Data points can be analysed across machines
  • Historical display aggregated over the last few hours or with reference to a freely selectable time period
  • Visualisation of real-time data
  • Data export possible
  • Interpretation of data facilitated through zoom function

Providing support in all areas of production

 

Benefits to you

Shortening downtimes

Shorten the time span in which employees are informed about relevant downtimes. Relevant downtimes refer to those where the machine does not restart automatically.

Minimum user inputs

Receive an overview of all of the interventions relevant at the current time. Completed tasks are automatically closed once the machine starts producing again or the message has been reset.

Preventing downtimes

Prevent the machine from stopping due to a lack of processing and operating materials (for examples labels or film). Use critical machine information effectively in the entire process.

Active notification

Be informed about tasks and anomalies directly via push notification (Android and iOS) or email.

Collaboration

Create the conditions for efficient teamwork through the continuous synchronisation of the task status and always see who is working on what and may possibly require support.

Keeping track

Work with a tool which helps you to manage, structure and complete your tasks. Create your own rules for monitoring limit values as required.
