CUSTOMER BENEFITS • Shared data-driven insights enable employees at all levels to make better decisions about parts and processes • Complete insights into machine behavior and utilization • A broad range of solutions and services available to assist manufacturers with all aspects of workflow efficiency SECO MACHINE MONITORING MACHINE MONITORING CAPTURES REAL-TIME DATA ABOUT MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY To optimize production performance for manufacturing transformation, manufacturers not only need answers to essential questions about what’s holding back their efficiency. Before they can process the answers, they need to know which questions to ask. Production analysis that combines the value of OEE tracking with insights and real-time notifications from data visualization tools can show operators and managers where to find machining bottlenecks and how to eliminate them. With CNC machine tool monitoring through Seco Machine Monitoring, manufacturers can understand exactly what happens on the shop floor so they can maximize machine uptime for productivity. OPTIMIZE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS High scrap rates, poor job planning, irregular maintenance, lack of communication and low awareness of how to optimize machine tool efficiency can impair productivity on the manufacturing line. All these challenges point back to a lack of information about equipment efficiency, machining bottlenecks and production performance. Data-driven Seco Machine Monitoring gives manufacturers a full picture of overall equipment effectiveness so they can adjust their planning and resources for maximum performance. COMMUNICATION HELPS REVEAL MACHINING BOTTLENECKS AND MOVE TOWARD GREATER MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY When manufacturers list the essentials that contribute to their overall productivity, they typically point to equipment and programming. But as successful shops can attest, communication holds just as vital a role as any tooling or inventory. Without clear communication between operators and among all levels of a manufacturing organization, machining bottlenecks can remain hidden in information that no one shares. With data visualization through Seco Machine Monitoring and production analytics, manufacturers can receive real-time notifications about critical problems with manufacturing efficiency so they can understand the full picture of their operations and make informed decisions about how to optimize them. MACHINE MONITORING MAKES A GREAT FIRST STEP ON THE PATH TO HOLISTIC PRODUCTIVITY When manufacturers analyze production performance, their perspective may draw on a decade or a career’s length of experience, but that viewpoint may not be broad enough to show them how to optimize their processes. Seco Machine Monitoring provides real-time notifications of production performance through data visualization tools that make it easy to see machining bottlenecks and optimize machine uptime. In addition, the Seco Manufacturing Transformation system includes numerous options to partner with customers for continuous improvement of everything from tool analysis to operator education. With 80 years of global expertise in all aspects of production performance, Seco can help manufacturers maximize every component of their productivity.
