Every machine on the floor, reporting for itself
Visual Factories collects machine activity automatically and turns it into real-time monitoring, analysis and reporting, per line, per machine, per product and per shift. No manual data entry, no replacement of existing machinery.
Where discrete plants lose hours they never see
Losses are rarely one large failure. They accumulate in small, unmeasured intervals across the fleet.
- 01
Unplanned downtime
Stoppages are recorded after the fact, so the cause is reconstructed from memory instead of data.
- 02
Micro-stoppages
Short, repeated interruptions never reach a report, yet they remove hours of capacity every week.
- 03
Unknown true capacity
Without measured cycle data, optimal capacity per part and per machine stays an estimate.
- 04
Manual reporting
Paper and spreadsheets cost operator time and arrive too late to change the shift.
The measurements the platform provides
Real-time machine state
Running, idle or stopped for every connected machine, updated continuously.
Output against target
Live pace and count per line, machine, product and shift.
Downtime and root cause
Stoppages captured automatically with the context needed for root-cause analysis.
Optimal capacity
Measured capacity per part and per machine rather than a planning assumption.
Consumable control
Track consumption so tooling and material use stay inside plan.
OEE
Availability, performance and quality combined into a comparable score.
Built for mixed fleets, old and new
