Actions taken by supervisor in response to notifications
Quantitative information on Quality Checks with inspector’s identification
Send alerts on operational issues according to selected settings
M-Boxes for milling, grinding, EDM and CNC machines are equipped with electricity consumption level sensors and /or motion sensors.
For welding machines, we use current sensors that record the number of welds and the total welding time per (clock based) hour.
The cost price can be closely monitored via:
• Total electricity consumption (Sensors)
• Total time spent by different workers (Smart-Cards)
The Smart-Cards identify individual units in production (or production batches) and which workers are handling them.
Depending on the issue, relevant officers (management/supervisor, maintenance, QC) will receive an instant notification on which they will have to act and feedback to the system after solving.
For production interruptions on any machines, the system can be set to alert supervisor via a notification. The operator indicates the problem via pre-set buttons on the M-Box:
When a machine consumes electricity without producing, a notification is sent. Most of the time the operator forgot to switch off the machine. Any a-typical electricity consumption should be flagged to responsible persons as this may involve safety issues.
M-box staff tracking keeps track of who is on the premises and their working hours. People that are off-duty can select not to be disturbed by notifications.
M-Box can be used on any brand of equipment. During ordering we will request details allowing us to make the correct selection of monitoring tools and settings.
Analyse your true cost price per product. All activities that can be allocated to the project can be monitored, including manual labour and time tracking of design engineers’ computer time.
