Why
Monitor Production?
Strategic philosophies or practices such as Kaizen,
Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Total Quality
Management and Continuous Improvement are used by
many organizations to help improve processes, drive
productivity and maintain a competitive edge in
today's ever-increasing global economy. Despite
varying concepts, each practice uses Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) to assess, analyze and track
manufacturing processes. Some KPIs include but are
not limited to; part count (good or bad), reject
ratio, rate, target, takt |
|
time, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE),
feedrate, cycle status and machine
uptime/downtime. These performance measurements
are commonly used to evaluate success, identify
bottlenecks, and increase overall production
throughput. |

Key
Features
Once
MasterCore is connected to your production equipment
you can start monitoring production in real-time. Be
alerted to faulted machines instantly on your smart
phone or from your PC. Real-time machine overviews
can be accessed anywhere so that managers can direct
maintenance to address priority problems first. In
addition to real-time data, each machine will have a
record of production statistics for each shift
containing all of your KPIs. Quickly determine the
performance and efficiency of each shift and
individual operators. Keep track of inventory
without having to physically count parts. All of the
information to maximize production efficiency is
right at your finger tips. |

The
MasterCore Advantage
MasterCore provides turnkey production monitoring
solutions for a wide variety of applications. Our
extensive experience with CNC retrofitting, CNC &
PLC programming, gauging & vision applications, and
robotics & automation, provides us with the
necessary knowledge to obtain the desired data from
these systems. In addition, our knowledge of
Windows, Web, and Mobile applications allows us to
present the data to you on a broad range of devices.
From shop floor marquees to a smart phone thousands
of miles away, the data will be displayed on a sleek
and intuitive interface that is tailored
specifically for your needs. |
System
Architecture
MasterCore can connect to and gather data from a
wide variety of devices. If we have not already
connected to a similar device in the past, we will
forge ahead and figure out how to gather the desired
data from that particular device. There is always a
solution. Once we are connected to most, if not all,
of your production equipment, we will gather the
data and store it on a local server that we provide.
Then we can optionally push that data to the cloud
so it can be accessed anywhere or just keep it local
so it can be used internally. Once we have the data,
it can be displayed on shop floor marquees, smart
phones, desktops, tablets and more. The interface
can be completely customized to display only the
data you want and in the exact format you want it.
Generate reports and graphs to analyze historical
data. And just imagine having real-time data
from any of your facilities from anywhere on the
globe in the palm of your hand. This is no doubt the
future of manufacturing.
