FactoryWiz  

The primary function of the OperatorConnect is for bidirectional exchange of information.  FactoryWiz Monitoring automatically time stamps all activity.  The only thing it does not know is “why” the machine is idle for extended period time.  When this happens, we rely on operators to input the “why” reasons.  When a stoppage event occurs, the tablet or PC automatically presents a list of user defined downtime reasons in large easy to use buttons.   Once the reason is identified, the OperatorConnect returns to normal mode where the operator can view current work status, download DNC programs, and ask for assistance from supervisors, maintenance, programming, etc.

The new OperatorConnect Interface allows customers to easily customize the user Interface to their specific requirements.  Tablet and PC displays are subjective and rather than make a unique build for each customer, FactoryWiz developed a widget-based system where users can customize the look and feel by adding and sizing widgets from a select list.  Once defined, templates can be saved and later used for single applications or multiple groups of machines or processes.

FactoryWizTV provides a real-time activity of machine events. This includes machine production status such as running, paused, Idle, alarm based on current day or shift.  Additional information displayed may also include operation modes such as Set-up, Maintenance, or Off-line/not scheduled.

With a quick glance, critical production data for the current shift or day can provide immediate feedback to operators, supervisors, and managers to drive competition and maintain or exceed production targets.

Dashboard views are subjective and unique to each application.  As such we provide samples where our business partners can select details important to the way the operate.

There is a wealth of information available from your machines which can be read with a glance from almost any device with a web browser. Information presented in FactoryWiz Dashboards may include:

• Mode (Production / Setup / Maintenance)
• Machine Uptime / OEE
• Active Job / Work Order
• Part name
• Part count
• Idle reasons
• Feed / Rapid / Spindle override dialsF
