Manufacturing management consists of a number of practices and technologies adopted to measure the processes and performance of the tool. After all, only by measuring results is it possible to seek specific improvements that will reflect in business billing. So, the basic idea behind this management model is data collection, log analysis, and action setting for continual improvement.
In this context, the Data Collector has been developed to automatically monitor the Kpis of the machines and of the production line. All numbers can be accessed via a desktop (PC), a tablet, or even a smartphone. The system’s objectives are to monitor OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), identify technical losses of each piece of equipment, collect accurate data for deviation analysis, and monitor parts and the cycle time of the machines.
