Produce OEE Metrics 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
• Operator training is simple and intuitive: employees can be trained within two hours
• Touch screens are located where employees need them - on the factory floor
• Badge readers and security passwords protect data integrity
• Labor tracking, if required, is handled via FACTIVITY's Human Machine Interface (HMI).
