| 
Anyone who is striving to improve the overall efficiency of a manufacturing operation can benefit from reducing equipment downtime. By understanding the largest causes of unplanned downtime, reduction programs can be developed. But, getting accurate information about downtime is a challenge that any improvement program faces.
Our downtime tracking hosted web application provides a cost effective, easy to implement solution that provides highly accurate reporting for the downtime of an entire shop floor. Downtime Tracking works by remotely monitoring equipment to determine the amount of time a particular line or machine is not producing, or “down”. Then this measured down-time is categorized into codes by equipment operators using on-line web forms. Immediate downtime reporting can be performed for a machine, group of machines or entire plant using a visual downtime reporting tool.
Local downtime categories and codes can be developed to meet the needs of individual equipment lines or to continue with existing methods of downtime coding and categorization.
The visual reporting tool can provide an up-to-the minute downtime report for a shift, day, week, month or any timeframe that is requested. Downtime can also be evaluated according to individual operators or operator teams. This application integrates with other plant floor and business systems so that the measured downtime can be seamlessly integrated into production management or financial applications.
