MachineMetrics Monitoring Software Supports Production Schedules
MachineMetrics uses data synchronization and real-time monitoring of production to help keep schedules current and to reflect actual shopfloor conditions.
MachineMetrics’ Production Schedule Intelligence provides manufacturers with real-time machine data to support scheduling accuracy, work-in-process optimization and on-time delivery.
MachineMetrics Production Schedule Intelligence is designed to seamlessly integrating real-time data and predictive analytics into manufacturing operations. By connecting directly to both ERP systems and machines on the factory floor, MachineMetrics uses comprehensive data synchronization and real-time monitoring of production to help keep schedules current and to reflect actual shopfloor conditions.
MachineMetrics Production Schedule Intelligence includes a range of features designed to enhance manufacturing efficiency and productivity:
- Dynamic schedule optimization: Continuously assesses and adjusts production schedules based on real-time operational data, dynamically adapting the schedule to address machine downtimes and other production interruptions.
- Real-time adjustments: Visualizes scheduled on-time-delivery (OTD) targets and predicts completion dates in real-time. Managers will know when a job will be done and can receive alerts when there is risk of missing OTD, allowing them to take action to intervene where necessary.
- Interactive production order management: Users can easily edit and re-sequence production orders through a drag-and-drop interface, with immediate feedback on schedule health.
- Real-time impact analysis: The system flags potential delays and adjusts work-in-process calculations dynamically, enabling proactive schedule management and empowering plant managers to make smart decisions based on real data.
- ERP data utilization: Integrates seamlessly with ERP systems to use planned start dates and cycle times as reliable baselines for adjustments.
This latest release from MachineMetrics is just one in a series of recent feature and functionality updates that connect real-time factory floor data with operational systems, providing manufacturers with automated, actionable insights without requiring custom development or significant manual input. It features clickable ERP integrations, labor ticket entry, anomaly detection, configurable dashboards and in-depth production analytics.
