Deployments from manufacturers who connected existing equipment and began measuring machine state, downtime and true capacity.

Discrete manufacturing, Peru
Cutting tool manufacturing
The shift from manual reporting to automatic collection changes the working day for every role on the floor.
Stops and slowdowns surface as they happen, so a supervisor can act while the shift can still be recovered.
Production counts arrive from the machine itself, removing the manual tally sheets and the transcription behind them.
Floor displays, supervisor reports and management summaries all read from the same collected machine activity.
Actual cycle times and downtime patterns give planners a realistic basis for the targets they set.
“Visual Factories simplicity and compatibility enabled us to connect all our machines on our own, and start monitor & analyze our performance in a matter of days.”
“We wanted a more trustworthy and real-time method to follow up on a production in our plant. With the Visual Factories solution, we are now able to identify weak links in our production which allows us to solve problems and increase productivity.”
“VF is the best investment I did in my 25 years in manufacturing.”
“Spent the afternoon with my team at FabTech. One of the biggest issues I see across suppliers is inability to address O.E.E. To get the data in a factory is pretty challenging unless you have expensive software, and even using the data to drive out waste is tough. Visual Factories has got it figured out. Blown away by the no nonsense solution. Aerospace friends, look these guys up.”
“We were amazed by Visual Factories… from saying 'Yes' to a working POC in <1 week!”
