Accurately track downtime
Guidewheel automatically tracks downtime so you know where it's happening and how it's impacting performance. The Scoreboard enables your plant floor team to monitor uptime throughout their shift and take the right actions to stay on track. Reports and trend analysis help leadership track progress towards goals and identify additional opportunities for improvement.
Know what needs attention
Alert team members in real-time when a machine goes down, is overloaded, or any condition they need to address. Receive and respond to alerts via text, SMS or WhatsApp so you can stay connected to the factory floor from anywhere. Escalate alerts to additional team members until the issue is resolved. With a full audit trail of alerts and actions taken, your team learns how to stay ahead of issues in the future.
Address root causes of issues
Track the root causes of issues from any device by adding tags in just a few clicks, or let Guidewheel suggest tags using our AI-powered Tag Assist feature. Pareto Analysis shows you your top offenders so you know which machines, processes, and team members to focus on for improvement.
Reduce energy costs
Guidewheel helps you to find opportunities to lower energy consumption and costs by tracking sources of energy usage, identifying energy hogs, and managing peak demand. Guidewheel also helps you identify energy waste - energy you’re consuming that is not contributing directly to production. By understanding the true volume and cost of your energy consumption, you can take concrete steps to reduce it.
