Data Collection Software Increases Efficiency, Reduces Downtime
IMTS22: Wintriss Controls Group’s upgraded ShopFloorConnect identifies and quantifies excessive production losses and bottlenecks.
Wintriss Controls Group demonstrates new, advanced features in its ShopFloorConnect overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and data collection software. The latest functionality in ShopFloorConnect is said to give manufacturers increased efficiency and reduced downtime, including when remote monitoring is required. According to Wintriss, the software can significantly increase manufacturing capacity and profitability by identifying and quantifying excessive production losses and bottlenecks.
Advanced ShopFloorConnect OEE and data collection software collects downtime and production efficiency data from every machine, ranging from CNC machines to presses, fabricating machines and more, in all areas of discrete manufacturing. Data is displayed in real-time, and indispensable manufacturing reports are produced, including detailed OEE reports in a variety of formats. At IMTS, Wintriss will showcase the new ShopFloorConnect PM Tracker, which tracks important machine preventative maintenance (PM) items by run-hours or machine cycles, issues targeted alerts when an item requires PM and tracks the maintenance work history for all machines.
ShopFloorConnect 6.0 also features a new Universal Interactive Application Program Interface (API) that enables users to quickly set up two-way data sharing with any ERP or MES software.
