Preventative Maintenance

Tailored Training Courses

Every machine and control system requires preventative maintenance to ensure top-level performance and consistency on the production line. When systems do not have regular preventative maintenance checks performed, it will cause parts and components to break down or malfunction, which can cause a slowdown or shutdown of your production. Systems that are properly maintained can last for many years, even decades, before needing to be replaced. By keeping a regular preventative maintenance schedule, you are extending the life of your machine exponentially.

Manufacturing Intelligence

Business Integration

Using Manufacturing Intelligence we will bring real-time manufacturing product and process data from multiple sources for reporting, analysis, visual summaries, and data synchronization between enterprise level and plant floor systems. Manufacturing Intelligence will drive strategic decision making which will improve quality, consistency, cost of produced goods, and reduce down-time. Take control of your operations by utilizing our reporting and analytical implementations:

Data Historian
Real-Time Data Integration
Dashboards & Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Performance & Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)

Analyzing Data

Intelligent Data turns vast amounts of production data into concise numbers that help our customers optimize their processes.

Andon display boards that increase visibility of a machine's current status and production counts
Data collection, mining, and analytics programs
Integrating equipment with existing customer MES systems and other business systems

Process Improvement

Leveraging custom developed software to optimize tasks and processes further than typical automation hardware capabilities.

Custom Internet-based recipe management portals that allow our customers to configure a wider range of parts
Custom software programs that allow customers to import CAD data and then mathematically optimize robot paths to reduce cycle times
Software which can automatically synchronize existing robot programs

Collecting Data

We can integrate existing network and software with equipment to create manufacturing systems that are easy to control and run. The benefit of this approach is manufacturing systems that are easier to control and run while increasing throughput and reducing production downtime.
