Real Time Production Monitoring Software
Monitor Production In Real Time
Monitor production performance KPIs and downtime events in real time, for enterprise-wide visibility into machine availability and the health of batch and continuous manufacturing processes.
Build Real-Time Dashboards & Displays
Empower operators, engineers, and management with insights into current operating conditions. Create real-time dashboards and displays with actionable data, utilizing a cutting-edge production monitoring system. Uncover invaluable production data and enhance machine utilization, whether monitoring equipment status, equipment effectiveness, site-level process flows, or enterprise-wide production KPIs.
- Configure custom displays that represent your manufacturing process.
- Combine data from any source (or site) into common dashboards or displays.
- Interact with dashboards & displays to drill-down into data for troubleshooting.
- Access your creations from any mobile device.
- Design dashboards & using 5000+ pre-built graphic objects.
- Import existing graphics from PI, IP.21, & more.
Enable Proactive Plant-Floor Decision-Making
Enhance your factory and shop floor efficiency with dataPARC’s powerful Centerline display, offering operators real-time visibility through an intuitive multivariate control chart. Proactively detect deviations and receive early warnings, allowing for immediate operator input. Operations can rely on this real-time data insight to eliminate potential quality or equipment issues, ensuring seamless operations and optimal performance.
“dataPARC’s production monitoring software has given us the ability to make decisions based on events as they occur, and in some cases, even forecast into the future.”
Steve West, Senior Process Engineer – Catalyst Paper
Respond Quickly to Process Issues
Configure smart alarms for real-time production monitoring systems and of manufacturing processes. Automatically notify operators or maintenance personnel about shifts in operating conditions, enabling swift responses. This approach effectively minimizes production losses, enhances productivity, and proactively addresses changes to reduce downtime and waste.
- Send notifications instantly, via email or SMS text.
- Record & forward event details in logbook database.
- Escalate notifications to senior staff automatically if issues are ignored.
- Detect compliance events, including data loss.
- Apply deadbanding to ignore planned downtime events.
- Access event data via dataPARC trends, Pareto charts, & more.
Share Production Performance KPIs
Deliver data-driven insights ahead of the morning meeting through a custom report. Build reports that autonomously fill with your critical production KPIs. Schedule these reports to run, save, and email to a group before your morning meeting. Alternatively, print them on demand for engineers and managers to receive during key plant trials or while on call.
- Report hourly or daily production averages.
- Monitor status of resources like fuel & water.
- Highlight unplanned maintenance & downtime.
- Trigger reports when operating conditions change.
- Visualize data in charts, trends, tables, & more.
