Shop Floor Integration
An increasing demand is for Shop Floor Integration systems, to track production, downtime categories and equipment efficiencies. Our Production Analyser fully integrates with the APMS, enabling automatic notification for engineers when needed, as well as automatic creation of breakdown job cards. This effectively moves the control of breakdown situation from a Reactive to a Proactive and real time environment.
