FactoryWorx - Real Time Reporting
Real time data and reporting is the foundation of smooth manufacturing operation. It enables people in all areas to react in a timely manner to important events, take corrective or preventative action. This simultaneously saves costs and improves profit margins, by preventing downtime, costly breakdowns, producing faulty goods, and any reasons that can stop or disrupt production.
Through its sensor-enhanced capabilities, FactoryWorxTM Production Reporting module delivers meaningful real-time and predictive insights to all areas of operations. This means full visibility of all physical and digital factors, enabling, planning and responsiveness to the enterprise-wide and customer-supply-chain interdependencies.
FactoryWorx - Stand-Alone Reporting Capability

Downtime is the major cause of lost productivity, increased waste and production and product costs. If unchecked, it can cause a decline in profitability, revenue and irreparable brand damage.
FactoryWorxTM Downtime Reporting is an essential management tool that on the basic level provides instant insights on time, reason, frequency and cost of downtime. On advanced MES level it informs Predictive Maintenance and Asset Management.
- Major and minor stoppage reporting
- Speed loss reporting
- First up fault reporting
- Manual reason and action input
- Downtime Analysis and Tracking – Root Cause Analysis (RCA), i.e. 5 WHY’s are provided by Operators for future improvement.
- Manual & Automated Downtime Recording:
- Manual recording – allowing operators to enter downtime events directly in the system either when they occur or more often before the end of the shift.
- Automated recording – by direct connection to the primary packaging machine / line printer. With automatic recording the running/stop/no count signal is taken from the PLC via OPC or based on printer count. The start and stop times are therefore precise. If the PLC can give fault codes these are also captured. Operators review the list of automatically captured downtime events and update the events with downtime reasons but of course they cannot change the duration.
- FactoryWorxTMStandardised Event Downtime Classifications:
- Downtime events are classified to enables fast responses, learning and future improvements.
- Breakdowns– equipment failures technical reasons related to the equipment and process (Operator Input)
- Unplanned stops – e.g. material shortages, man-power shortages
- Planned stops – e.g. planned maintenance, changeovers, set-up
- Speed Loss – when the line isn’t producing to standard rate
- Operational– when the proper procedures have not been followed
- Minor Stops – e.machine stops that do not impact production of primary producing machine
- Equipment Reliability – Fault codes logged and reported from machine.
- FactoryWorxTMDowntime Reporting Module – enables granular reporting for deep analytics.
- Events can be investigated by machine, line, department, shift, downtime reason, downtime category and product.
