Description

Scytec DataXchange, a Cloud and On Premise OEE and analytic machine monitoring system, is available. DataXchange uses innovative IIoT technology to increase equipment efficiency, utilization, and shop floor productivity. DataXchange can be used with a variety of manufacturing machines, including CNC's and PLC's as well as robots, welders, and manual ones. You can create custom shop floor data entry rules to automatically collect shopfloor data from a wired or wired connection on MTConnect and Fanuc FOCAS based machines, as well as older and manually operated machines. DataXchange provides all the OEE reports and charts, dashboards, notifications, and notifications that you need to analyze the machine data. It also triggers notifications. This allows you to meet the needs of small facilities aswell as multi-site enterprise-level operations.

Description

Machestra is a comprehensive solution for production scheduling and shop floor management tailored specifically for small manufacturers operating between 3 to 30 machines. It eliminates the hassle of spreadsheets, whiteboards, and shared calendars by providing a centralized platform to manage machines, personnel, materials, and schedules effectively. The system focuses on four key functions and intentionally avoids any additional complexity. Each job is divided into distinct operations, with each operation assigned to its own machine, operator, and designated time frame, allowing for precise tracking of a part's journey through processes like turning, milling, and inspection, rather than relying on estimations. The scheduling board displays commitments for every machine, preventing double bookings and enhancing workflow efficiency. Additionally, each operation logs its actual start and finish times compared to initial plans, progressively refining lead time estimates with every completed job. Machestra offers a flat pricing structure based on the number of machines without imposing per-user fees, making it cost-effective for teams to adopt without incurring extra expenses. The entry-level Starter plan is available for $19 per month, while the Growth plan costs $79 per month, with prices adjusted according to local purchasing power. Notably, the service is free for users managing up to three machines, requiring no credit card information and having no time constraints for use. This user-friendly approach makes Machestra an appealing choice for small manufacturers looking to streamline their operations.
