- For manufacturers operating multiple plants, getting real-time, apples-to-apples visibility is a major challenge. Each site often runs different systems, measures performance with different KPIs, or reports data inconsistently (and usually in a manual fashion).This leaves operations leaders, VPs, and plant managers spending too much time piecing together spreadsheets, comparing outdated reports, and reacting to problems only after they’ve impacted throughput or delivery. It’s nearly impossible to spot underperforming plants, share best practices, or drive consistent improvement across sites.MachineMetrics Enterprise Widgets solve this by giving you a real-time, standardized view of OEE, utilization, and other critical metrics – across every plant and […]
- Legacy MES systems and basic monitoring tools are often rigid and slow to adapt. While they claim to offer broad functionality, they’re rarely configured to reflect the nuances of your operations – and trying to force-fit unique workflows into generic systems only creates friction.
- There’s no shortage of data on the modern shop floor. The problem is getting the right information to the right people – with the right context to make a difference.
- For most manufacturers, labor tracking still feels like a disconnected process. Time clocks sit in one system, job data lives in another, and payroll has to piece it all together later.
- You ran the kaizen event.
- Manufacturing schedules look great on paper—until they meet the real world.
- Even the most capable ERP system can only tell you what was planned. It can’t tell you what’s actually happening on the floor, right now. For most discrete manufacturers, job tracking still relies on end-of-shift paperwork, late or missing labor tickets, and verbal updates passed between operators and supervisors.
- Executive Snapshot Tariff policy has shifted sharply in the past 18 months, squeezing margins for U.S. discrete-manufacturing plants. Metal duties remain in force, a new 25% levy on imported vehicles and parts took effect this spring, and Chinese imports have risen at an astounding rate.Manufacturing executives have already begun taking action, flexing their supply chain muscles to identify new sources of material, bring manufacturing back to the US, and, in many cases, simply stockpiling resources before material prices raise. Alternatively, others have seen a greater impact from inflation than they have from tariffs. This article breaks down some of the most […]

- Despite significant investments in ERP systems, many manufacturers still struggle to manage their operations effectively. The root of the problem? A lack of accurate, real-time data from the production floor.
