Empower your team with real-time visibility and alerting through Guidewheel
Few things are more frustrating than finding out about a problem once it’s already too late. If your team is constantly firefighting, Guidewheel’s visibility and alerting can help you go from reactive to proactive.
GUIDEWHEEL GIVES YOU AND YOUR TEAM VISIBILITY FROM ANYWHERE
With Guidewheel, you can clip on sensors and have real-time visibility into all your equipment that same day. With secure levels of user access and accessibility from any device, your team can check on any machine from anywhere and know what’s going on.
Executives can confidently have the visibility they need for data-driven decisions around capacity, demand and resource planning, or CapEx.
Managers can easily monitor key areas of the operation while they are not at the plant—from mobile, tablet, or laptop—and have the visibility they need to have efficient conversations and support their teams during critical production times across many shifts and locations.
Maintenance teammates can not only get immediately alerted to potential problems with Guidewheel, but also use Guidewheel’s Diagnostics features to efficiently diagnose and troubleshoot issues remotely. These tools also support maintenance teammates to work effectively across multiple facilities with less stress and/or travel as they can easily pull up details on mobile, tablet, or laptop wherever they are.
Shift supervisors log into Guidewheel before their shift, or use Guidewheel’s email reporting to get an automatic email before their shift, with all the information they need to start their shift prepared and effectively hit production goals.
GUIDEWHEEL MAKES MEETINGS EFFICIENT WITH A SHARED SOURCE OF TRUTH THAT IS THE TRUTH
Seeing the clear “machine truth” in Guidewheel can dramatically reduce the time you and your team spend sifting through spreadsheets, playing phone tag to verify numbers, or arguing about what happened. Whether remote or in-person, teams can reduce meeting time by 50-70% while significantly reducing stress and improving results.
For example, in weekly production meetings Guidewheel not only makes it easy to slice and dice trends to see where the team’s time and resources should be focused for the greatest impact, Guidewheel also makes it easy to check the details in a way everyone on the team can trust and understand at a glance. For example, if questions arise about which machines have additional capacity or what happened with a key machine on the night shift, those questions can be answered in seconds with clear visuals everyone on the team can understand at a glance—plus the ability to easily dive into details if needed.
REAL-TIME ALERTING WITH GUIDEWHEEL HELPS PREVENT PROBLEMS
In addition to empowering your team with visibility, Guidewheel can also “play offense” to help you respond faster and even prevent problems.
You and your team can configure Guidewheel’s real-time alerts to:
Notify team members immediately when something is wrong (easy to configure to make sure teammates are only notified when they want to be, not when they don’t!)
Systematically escalate to the right person if a problem lasts longer than it should
Support with first-fault analysis for faster troubleshooting
Immediately detect and alert the right member of the team if a problem is starting to develop
Track and time-stamp incident management and response so you systematically manage all issues as well as response time across the maintenance team
GUIDEWHEEL PROVIDES CONSISTENCY ACROSS YOUR FULL TEAM AND ALL EQUIPMENT
Guidewheel’s system supports your full team—production, quality, maintenance, management— in working more smoothly together by providing consistency across all equipment, both old and new and from production equipment to auxiliary equipment and utilities (compressors, chillers, etc). Instead of logging into different systems, with Guidewheel your maintenance and production teams can share the same dependable, systematized alerting and reporting systems. They can easily reference the same data and collaborate more smoothly across geographies and teams.
