Shopfloor Management

Identical products are often manufactured at different locations worldwide. The Global Production Overview module provides a quick overview, as well as a comparison of standardized KPIs such as number of units, degree of utilization, or OEE. The current status can be displayed clearly in map or tabular form, all the way down to the line level. Those responsible can see at a glance how, for example, a specific type of line is performing worldwide.

Is my line meeting its target? And if not, why not? The KPI Reporting module provides all the relevant key figures in clearly visualized reports, from a general overview to unplanned breakdowns and cycle times. This enables users to get to the bottom of the causes of any production stops or errors based on actual/target analyses – and to make readjustments.

Many processes in production are still paper-based to date – from shift planning to planned downtimes through to recording unplanned production errors. This is where the Shift Book module comes into play: it collects the data required for all further analyses, evaluations, and deductions. This allows employees to better focus on the reasons for downtimes or process errors, as well as on eliminating the causes and achieving the relevant key figures.

Andon Live is a real-time shift status and information board in one. It visualizes the progress during the current shift right in the production area. Andon Live can be adapted individually to the operational situation and can also display additional information. In the event of a malfunction, the Andon ripcord is available as a fast reaction system.

The Deviation Processor is the central access and control point where deviations are received, processed, stored, and visualized – no matter which module the data may come from. This not only makes morning rounds much more efficient; the data can also be used to identify optimization potential and eliminate error causes. In case of critical errors, reaction logics (Quick Reactor) ensure a fast reaction speed.

The Nexeed Industrial Application System is an agile software that is developed in an iterative manner together with its users. We are continuously creating new modules for each area of use, which we will make available to you shortly.

Transparency plays a decisive role in production to increase equipment efficiency. The Shopfloor Performance Insights package provides an optimal overview of machine availability and production status by automatically calculating production-related KPIs, especially OEE, based on current machine data and by making them available on a daily basis. This allows you to keep track of your production KPIs at all times, get to the bottom of the causes of any downtime – and make targeted adjustments.
