Benchmark’s Precision Technology Group Finding Capacity with FactoryWiz Monitoring

Recently published in CNC West.

Precision Technology has deployed FactoryWiz Machine Monitoring systems on it’s advanced CNC machining centers throughout the facilities. There are well over 100 machine tied into monitoring.

““If a machine is down for a certain amount of time, a message is sent directly to the supervisor. If it is down longer, it is escalated to a manager and so forth. The information is visible and available on shop floor machine terminals, large TV screens, and can send notifications up the chain of command”.”

Senior Director – PT at Benchmark

VISUALIZE MACHINE DATA

Visualize critical live machine data in real-time via interactive dashboards, charts, graphs, e-mails and text messages from any web enabled device.

Alerts & Notifications

If your machine enters into an alarm state you can receive a text message or e-mail letting you know the machine is idle due to an alarm or other variable watch.

ERP/MES INTEGRATION

FactoryWiz connects great to custom data exchange applications. The system comes with a complete .NET API encompassing everything that the system does internally.

Identify Problems

Front line managers receive live insight to streamline workflow/operations and executives can analyze historical report metrics online, on demand, or via scheduled e-mails.

Shop Floor Operator Tablets or PC

The primary function of the Operator Tablet or PC is for bidirectional exchange of information.  FactoryWiz Monitoring automatically time stamps all activity.  The only thing it does not know is “why” the machine is idle for extended period time.  When this happens, we rely on operators to input the “why” reasons.  When a stoppage event occurs, the tablet or PC automatically presents a list of user defined downtime reasons in large easy to use buttons.   Once the reason is identified, the tablet/PC returns to normal mode where the operator can view current work status, download DNC programs, and ask for assistance from supervisors, maintenance, programming, etc.

The new Flexible Tablet Interface allows customers to easily customize the User Interface to their specific requirements.  Tablet and PC displays are subjective and rather than make a unique build for each customer, FactoryWiz developed a widget-based system where users can customize look and feel by adding and sizing widgets from a select list.  Once defined, templates can be saved and later used for single applications or multiple groups of machines or processes.

Generate Reports

FactoryWiz Monitoring has several helpful pre-defined reports to track productivity. Compare collected information based on shift, job number, part number, parts produced, individual machine or machine groups/department.  All reports are open and customizable using Crystal Reports, Power BI, or export to Excel.   

Included available reports also break down common idle reasons, alarms and alarm messages messages, and tool and workpiece offsets showing old and new values along with the timestamp of the change.   FactoryWiz reports can be generated on demand as well as automatically e-mailed at user defined intervals using predefined settings and filters.
