Monitor Machine Activity with FACTIVITY

FACTIVITY extends the capabilities of its award-winning FACTIVITY system to the monitoring of machines, lines, and cells.

Machine monitoring can be fully integrated with FACTIVITY as well as a variety of enterprise software systems. FACTIVITY machine monitoring can display changes as they occur and produce valuable Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics:

HOW IT WORKS

FACTIVITY monitors factory floor activity by providing:

Improved visibility into all assets currently on the floor, including machines, lines, and cells.
Performance information on machines, lines and cells as each cycle completes.
Real-time management alerts to user defined problems, such as, poor cycle time and downtime, automatically.
Highly accurate shop floor accounting with no operator data entry.

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS

FACTIVITY supports lean manufacturing by reducing waste through:

Eliminating or reducing customization to meet plant-specific needs - FACTIVITY's software switches allow for local configuration
Eliminating or dramatically reducing shop floor paper - FACTIVITY's Paperless Document and Communication Control enables operators to retrieve, display and collect data by means of a color-coded touch screen
Reducing or eliminating data entry in shop floor accounting, including labor tracking
Alerting management to efficiency problems and cycle time variances when they occur
Improving management access to production schedules
Showing OEE data as it occurs

GETTING STARTED

FACTIVITY Monitor is flexible, scalable and easy to implement:

The interface is worker-friendly and color coded touch screens are specifically designed for the needs of the factory floor
