Is machine tracking paid?

No. Machine records, running hours, utilization and the actual-to-standard factor are in the free Production Tracking plan. The free plan includes 1 machine; for more you buy extra machines.

On the Pro plan, yes. The Reports page calculates availability, performance and quality per machine from running hours, downtime and production entries, showing planned stops, unplanned stops and unrecorded loss separately.

Does it collect data from the machine automatically?

No, it does not connect to the machine's controller. Time is either entered daily by the foreman or measured by the system as the operator starts and finishes jobs on the tablet next to the machine.

Can I import my machine list from Excel?

Yes. The import on the Machines page matches the columns in your Excel file and adds the machines in bulk.

Is maintenance planning here too?

Maintenance records and planned maintenance are in the Quality plan. With it, the machine's page shows the maintenance history and the next due date, with a warning once the date has passed.

How long each machine ran and what it made, on one page

Work orders, production entries, downtime and running hours all attach to a machine. Open a machine's page and you see how many parts came off in the last thirty days, how much of the planned time it ran, and how many times the standard time the jobs actually took.

A machine's page: total and last 30 days of production, the parts it made, and the next maintenance date. Maintenance comes from the Quality plan, tool assignments from the Traceability and Stock plan.Real screens from the app, with sample workshop data.

How it works

1
Add your machines
A name and a type are enough: production machine, support equipment or measuring device. Model, serial number, location, hourly cost and daily hours can be added later. Your machine list comes in from Excel in bulk.
2
Enter daily hours
On the machine hours screen you write how many hours each machine ran that day and how many were planned. The boxes are prefilled with the daily hours on the machine record, and work days left empty this month are listed at the top.
3
Or let the tablet measure
If the operator screen is open next to the machine, running and stopped time is written as jobs are started and finished. Hours you enter by hand and hours the tablet measures are not added together, so the same hour is never counted twice.
4
Check the machine's page
Production, machine hours, maintenance, tools and history tabs sit in one place. On the Pro plan the Reports page calculates OEE per machine from this data.

What's included

Utilization

Running hours as a share of planned hours. You see in numbers which machine sits idle and which one is full.

Actual-to-standard factor

How many times the standard times in the process plan the work actually took, calculated over the last 90 days. Days that do not match production are left out, and at least 10 days of data are needed.

Hourly cost

You write the machine's hourly cost on its record. The cost estimate in the AI Assistant plan uses this value and the actual-to-standard factor.

Access by machine

You choose which machines each user can see. A user only sees the entries and hours of the machines they are allowed.

Another company's machine

You can add the machines of a shop you subcontract to, under its name. When you pick that company while entering production, only its machines are listed.

3D model

Upload the machine's STP, STL or OBJ model and inspect it on the machine's page, rotating and measuring. The machine list also opens as a model gallery.
