Data Collection and Resource Monitoring

In every manufacturing segment the same business disciplines and requirements apply. They include the flexibility to respond to rapid changes, rigid documentation and reporting requirements, pressures to control costs and maximise efficiency. Communicating, sharing and analysing manufacturing data in real time can help support your business in its efforts to achieve the control and flexibility to be competitive in today’s demanding market. An integrated approach to manufacturing data collection, delivered by Seiki AIR gives users a combined view of machine and production activities in one information rich, multi-functional workspace.

Manufacturing Data Collection

Manufacturing data collection and resource monitoring software modules can help maintain and improve the flow of information between the top floor and the shop floor by collecting and delivering accurate, live production and manufacturing process information throughout the organisation.

Seiki AIR Shopfloor Machine Utilisation Dashboard - Machine Status Monitoring Software

Seiki AIR Monitoring

Allows you to connect your machines to visualise and understand how your entire shop floor is performing. The software captures productive and non-productive events occurring on CNC machines and manual resources. Each status change can be captured automatically (e.g. cycle start or alarm conditions) via digital signals received from the machine, providing continuous recording of production times. Operators can also manually enter status changes and reasons for the machine being in a non-productive state using the simple touch buttons. The result is a dynamic, live view of the shop floor from anywhere on your domain as well as detailed analysis of the productivity of each connected machine.

Seiki AIR digital work queue

Seiki AIR WIP Booking

Delivers a prioritised work queue for each resource to the Operator on the shop floor, enabling them to confirm the start, pause and finish of operations. The quantity of parts produced can be updated progressively during the batch, at the end of the shift, or entered upon completion. Users can also enter reasons for non-conformances. The resulting detailed record of the progress and times of operations for individual works orders, which enables you to retrieve and report on their live status and historical performance.
