FactoryMRI enables the next generation of manufacturing excellence

FactoryMRI provides real-time information and superior resource visibility your organization needs to optimize day-to-day plant performance and sustain the long term success of your Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Attain Superior Capacity Utilization

Manuvis will help you gain capacity your company ALREADY has! FactoryMRI enterprise resource intelligence software is your best investment decision to ensure accurate, real-time insight into your manufacturing operations. FactoryMRI provides accurate insight into the activities that have direct impact on costs, profits, and overall results. As a result you KNOW what your capacity is at all times, and how your company's resources are performing.

Imagine being able to actually know what is happening RIGHT NOW, what has happened, and what will likely happen on your shop floor and:

• Display real-time performance data, statistical analyses, and record essential job or machine-related data
• Track job changes to focus your continuous improvements
• Report what is happening with each machine, work center, the manufacturing facility, or the entire corporation
• Create and view standard reports that help you track activities involving EPA-regulated materials
• Export specific fields directly from reports in to your spreadsheet program or statistical software
• Generate critical performance metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) automatically, accurately, and without re-entering data!

More-Profitable Human Capital Management

Human capital is your company's most important investment. Are you managing your workforce resources properly? Your workers are not assets in the sense that they are part of your balance sheet. They cannot be replaced like machines. People acquire knowledge and increase their skills, adding value to your company and themselves. However to maximize your ROI on human capital, your workforce's skill sets must be aligned with your business goals.

Your management team must redeploy workers based on their abilities and your company's needs at the moment. Manuvis enables you to quickly and effectively redeploy your work force. Manuvis provides the critical data you need for accurate analysis and clear communication for both direct AND indirect labor categories. Gain an accurate picture of how each individual contributes, determine where improvements are needed, and work with them to build confidence and trust.

And Manuvis eliminates the need to re-enter data into multiple systems. And, second, since the data comes directly from machines, your data remains secure, unable to be manipulated by human beings. Therefore results are what they are. Emotional confrontations and challenges that sometimes occur during employee's performance appraisals will be minimized or eliminated because both the operators and their leaders have been using actual data to measure results.

Increase Profits with Proactive Event Notification

From your secured web browser, drill-down is fast and efficient! You can survey activity across multiple facilities, monitor the entire shop floor, or view production at any workstation or machine.

Manuvis' powerful, yet simple Event Notification Manager allows your team to become more proactive. Plan, design, and execute complex events and receive notification while an impact can be made.

• Alert your teams in advance to take corrective actions to minimize impacts on customers and company assets
• Foster proactive decision-making
• Simple to create, customized notifications may be sent electronically via email, cell phone, pager

More-Profitable Machine Performance

Machine performance monitoring can be fully integrated with other business systems such as ERP or deployed as a stand-alone tool. Monitoring machine output is crucial, but monitoring machine maintenance is even more important. Manuvis solutions are capable of helping identify and track various types of machine failures. This feature also enables your team to become more proactive, preventing potential failures before they occur.

• Track tooling and machine cycles to improve your Total Preventative Maintenance (TPM), reduce manufacturing interruptions, and improve profitability
• Visibility to the performance of all machines on the production floor and view changes as they occur
• Connect with Andons, stack lights, or other visual or audible mechanisms to, for example, indicate machine stoppages or alert someone when material handling is required
• Create accurate and valuable Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics and other key performance indicators such as downtime, changeover time, minor stops, speed losses, scrap, and rework are user-definable---OEE results indicate the effectiveness of our TPM process

Manuvis Helps Reduce Your Cost of Poor Quality

Manuvis is a powerful quality assurance and process improvement solution that provides actionable insight into the metrics that have direct impact on costs, profits, and overall results. Quality data required for internal and external reporting must be timely and accurate. If data is collected and entered into spreadsheets or other disconnected sources it is inherently prone to both entry delays and human error and lacks integrity.

Manuvis replaces these delays and chances for human error by collecting data directly from a machine or process. Devices as simple as weigh scales or complicated as laser micrometers easily communicate with Manuvis. The quality data is then stored in Manuvis' Historian database along with the associated job particulars, machine state, and any other data you require. Therefore your data is always timely and, above all, inherently accurate.

You are able to establish key product attributes, determine frequency for measurement readings, alert operators when readings are required (if not automated), capture readings from digital inspection equipment, and record the measurements.

• Identify nonconformance conditions, and respond to real-time quality data
• Deliver immediate access to metrics that allow you to determine how, when and what oblems actually occurred
• Control chart attribute or continuous data to uncover out-of-tolerance conditions
• Utilize Pareto charts to determine and resolve root causes for nonconformance conditions
• Export data into spreadsheet or statistical software for additional testing such as designs of experiment (DOE), for example
