30% more profit from the machines you already own.
Most factories are losing 30% of their margin to controllable downtime, slow changeovers, and idle time they can't see. Guidewheel surfaces hidden production time and turns it into output you don't have to buy.
Trusted by hundreds
of leading manufacturers
The least expensive capacity is the kind you already own.
New machines cost millions and new headcount takes months. But the capacity already sitting in your plant is locked in late starts, slow changeovers, microstops, and inconsistent cycles. You just have to be able to see it.
Produce more with the resources you already have
Unlock capacity hidden in everyday delays
Get visibility into slow starts, long changeovers, and inconsistent cycles to recover lost production time and increase output.
Improve cost per unit
Boost machine availability and throughput to get more out of your fixed costs, without adding labor or equipment.
Align teams around performance
Surface production and performance trends by machine and shift so your teams can track progress, stay accountable, and continuously improve.
Lay the foundation for predictive action
Streamline operations and maximize performance with every additional machine, user, and factory added to the platform.
