Machine monitoring with Guidewheel dramatically improves productivity


Without machine monitoring software, many manufacturers are stuck using lagging indicators to drive improvement. Whether it’s waiting until the end of a shift when you get a report to take action—or checking the P&L at the end of the month—by the time you find out about a problem it may be too late to solve it. 

Real-time machine monitoring allows you to shift from lagging to leading indicators, getting far more in control of your production and driving improvements to the bottom line. 

Legacy machine monitoring systems were complex and required heavy investment. Now, Guidewheel’s FactoryOps platform is making the benefits of machine monitoring accessible to any factory floor. You can clip a sensor on any machine (every make, model, or age) across every plant and get 100% visibility that same day.


START BY USING MACHINE MONITORING TO UNDERSTAND YOUR TRUE CAPACITY

With Guidewheel’s machine monitoring, you can understand your true capacity across all your machines and plants. Guidewheel works across any machine, new or old, so you can get complete second-by-second visibility across every asset—production equipment, auxiliary equipment, and utilities—in every plant. 

Guidewheel’s monitoring and reporting functionality allows you to 

  • See every machine in real-time. Be confident in the detail and drill in as much as you want! 

  • Get proactive reports delivered to you and your team’s inboxes.

  • Roll up trends and analyze capacity and production by plant, shift, machine type, SKU, or other factors that matter in your production.

 

RELIABLE AND ACCURATE MACHINE MONITORING EMPOWERS YOUR TEAM TO IMPROVE THE BOTTOM LINE

Guidewheel provides your team with a single source of truth that is the truth. 

In shift handoffs, weekly meetings, or quarterly reviews everyone can see the truth about what happened and drill down in as much detail as they want. With data everyone trusts, you can see where to improve and prioritize your team’s time and resources where they can make the biggest difference. From there, you can track and celebrate improvements.
