Downtime Monitoring
Today, for manufacturers who, like you, are anxious to get a leg up on the competition, optimizing the production process is a matter of survival. Time efficiency in production is essential, and tight control over downtime is a constant preoccupation. The Ekho downtime solution platform is the answer to your performance requirements.
Ekho gives you a complete set of tools to calculate and evaluate in real time the efficiency of every aspect of production, whether mechanical or human, allowing you to react as quickly as possible. It offers you a precise overview of the state of operation or inactivity of your units, processes, and production sequences, and pinpoints any factors that could have an impact on the performance of your operations, from the raw materials entering the production line to the delivery of products.
Your business needs and performance indicators are unique. That is why Ekho offers a flexible package of software solutions, with log sheets and reports adapted to your specific analysis needs. Using tailored indicators, Ekho presents you with an overview of production operations by team, piece of equipment, or sequence machine, which then allows you to measure their efficiency. You can correlate information with external data from multiple sources, such as probes, sensors, turbines, or even ISO standards, and make informed decisions accordingly. It offers you effective analysis tools to help you schedule the best time for equipment maintenance and parts replacement, and assists you in determining the optimum distribution of human resources and tasks. The results are clear: pieces do not wear out as quickly, and the number of unintentional interruptions and delivery delays are reduced, not to mention that it is much easier to precisely forecast your production capacity and plan your capital expenditures.
With the Ekho platform’s Clock and Look solutions, you can keep a tight rein on downtime, improve the efficiency of your operations and your teams, and control your production costs to better meet your clients’ needs and boost your productivity.
