Boost manufacturing efficiency with real-time machine monitoring

With Seco Machine Monitoring, remove machining bottlenecks and optimize machine uptime through real-time data visualization of equipment efficiency.

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.

Your challenge:
Limited access to real-time production data slows your response to individual applications, machines, cells and your overall production workflow.

The Seco solution:
Color-coded metrics on real-time dashboards give you the insights you need to improve efficiency.

Your challenge:
When production bottlenecks bog down your production line, a lack of insights into the causes of downtime makes it difficult to increase efficiency.

The Seco solution:
Real-time data access and notifications give operators and managers the information they need to make informed decisions about production problems.

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.

Your challenge:
Without a realistic picture of machine output and utilization, manufacturers can't increase efficiency and optimize production levels.

The Seco solution:
Detailed insights into machining operations on all attended and unattended shifts make it easy to track Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and make continuous improvements to operations for better planning, scheduling and communication.

Your challenge:
High scrap rates, poor understanding of shop productivity and too many unknown production conditions complicate the process of enhancing productivity.

The Seco solution:
Data-driven insights reveal the real root causes of production problems so manufacturers can optimize their workflows.

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.

Your challenge:
If operators, managers and shop ownership do not communicate about problems, concerns and bottlenecks can hinder production.

The Seco solution:
Data-driven communication and notifications give personnel at all levels the information they need to raise concerns and take action for greater productivity.

Your challenge:
A lack of input from the shop floor can hinder attempts to categorize down time and capture insights that enhance productivity.

The Seco solution:
Real-time capture of production data plus notes and information from operators can combine to identify workflow problems and resolve 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.

Your challenge:
Manufacturers lack insight into the sources of production problems and are unsure which questions to ask or answer.

The Seco solution:
With a robust portfolio of solutions and a commitment to continuous improvement, Seco offers manufacturers a holistic response to their desire for greater efficiency.

Your challenge:
Manufacturers try to address production problems without knowing their root causes or how to solve them.

The Seco solution:
Seco shares insights based on 80 years of manufacturing expertise and a full repertoire of solutions based on technology, research and experience.
