After some industry research they contacted Amtech Automation and learned how we could help them solve their issues and provide a single solution to connect their shop floor to their top floor. A few things they embraced about ScoreKeeper was that each machine could connect to our edge-to-cloud IIoT data management platform which automatically senses whether a machine was running or not and could connect with their host ERP, of which they had 4 disparate systems. Because our platform is equipment agnostic, they were able to leverage shop floor/TV displays they already had for presentation of current job information, speed, setup time goals, etc. They also liked that they didn’t need any special onsite engineers to visit their plants for implementation which saved on implementation time and costs. Our industry-standard components make it easy to maintain and service.
The project was painless. In less than 6 months, hundreds of machines in many countries were connected to a single production monitoring tool, Amtech Automation’s ScoreKeeper, that delivered intelligence and performance statistics served in 5 different languages. All of this delivered under the budget they had originally allocated for this project.
The results? In less than 30 days, some locations were reporting up to a 25% increase in productivity. Each plant could view real-time information on displays and dashboards and corporate could manage their entire enterprise on a single set of views from a synchronized, centralized data warehouse. Things like current job information along with speed and setup time goals and downtime reasons assigned for any stoppages over a user-defined threshold are now available at simple glance or tap of the screen.
