Advanced data collection, extensive reporting, accelerated results.

After implementing the solution, G&J Pepsi realized that with enterprise data visibility, they could view in real-time when their machines were stopping and that their efficiencies and OEE were much lower than they’d initially thought. By accounting for every second of the day, they saw accurately how their efficiency numbers across their eight lines were as much as 10% below previous reports.

“By automatically tagging downtime, we are taking analytics to a new level with ABLE. It provides good analytical root-cause data mining at the PLC level, while One-View gives an executive summary for someone who doesn’t need to dive into the details but still wants to see performance.”
