Ignorance is risk. Gain real-time visibility into shop performance with Machine Monitoring from JobPack.

Machine Monitoring

Identify bottlenecks, minimize productivity losses, and improve scheduling efficiency with insight based on data, not guesswork.

Maintaining your competitive edge in the global manufacturing market means producing more efficiently than your competition. Therefore it is essential to have a true and accurate picture of your manufacturing resource activity.

JobPack’s Machine Monitoring Software visually enables you to quickly identify, evaluate and enhance productivity on the shop floor while minimizing critical productivity losses.

How Machine Monitoring Drives Data-Informed Efficiency Improvements

Without insight into the live status of your shop floor, operators, schedulers, managers, and owners are all flying blind. Data collected by JobPack provides a roadmap for improvement across the board.

Understand past performance issues.

Many efficiency drains fly under the radar as they have become accepted as a normal part of the manufacturing process. Once manufacturers can pin down the source of lost productivity, addressing it can relieve pressure across the board.

Make better decisions in the moment.

Do you have the bandwidth to take on a last-minute order? A machine has stopped running for an unknown reason—is another machine available to take over the work? Do you have enough operators, or is it time to call in overtime? Machine monitoring turns questions into answers.

Gather data for the future.

A reliable record of shop performance empowers predictive planning at all levels of the organization. Schedulers can assign work with greater accuracy, managers can plan around overtime and maintenance, and owners can take on new work or invest in new equipment with confidence.

Input Additional Data

Operators can manually enter additional operating conditions and status changes by selecting from 64 user defined activities on the local PC screen (e.g. waiting parts) using our simple Interface.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

When it comes to improving machine performance, manufacturers typically begin with utilization, which is the percentage of time a machine is running. No machine is running 100% of the time, due to setup time between parts, regular maintenance, and other variables. A machine that is fully booked and only not running during expected downtime would have achieved optimal equipment effectiveness. But the manufacturing floor is never that simple.

Machine monitoring helps manufacturers refine their OEE calculations by identifying planned vs. unplanned downtime, pinpointing areas where production time ran longer than expected, and highlighting problem areas that incur rework costs.

Gain insight into time lost due to:

Availability: Unplanned machine resources/downtime.

Performance: Parts production which exceeds standard run time.

Quality: Time lost due to manufacturing non-conforming parts.

Benefits of OEE:

  • Identify and tackle waste and losses across your entire manufacturing process
  • Improve the productivity and throughput of your manufacturing resources
  • Improve the accuracy of your production planning
  • Benchmark progress
  • Improve the ratio between what your customers pay for and the actual total time (cost) to manufacture parts, i.e. your margin

Continuous Improvement with CNC Machine Performance Analysis

JobPack’s machine monitoring software delivers immediate insight with live visibility of machine status, as well as alerts during unplanned downtime or unknown stoppages. However, the benefits only grow with time as accumulated data identifies the causes of productivity losses and unearths previously hidden or unaccounted efficiency drains.

JobPack provides real-time, deep-dive reporting to help make informed adjustments and execute plans based on real metrics day-to-day, year-over-year:

    • Reduce waste, downtime and cycle times
    • Increase capacity on all assets
  • Improve quality
  • Boost on-time delivery
  • Use your own ERP data like it is supposed to be used
  • Enhance reporting of KPIs, utilization, and performance
