Machine output counting on a production line

Unit counts read from the line instead of written on a tally sheet.

The problem

Output was counted manually and entered at shift end. The figure was often approximate, downtime was not recorded at all, and comparing shifts or lines relied on numbers nobody fully trusted.

What we built

We connected counters on the line to a collection service that records output continuously, and built a dashboard showing live rate, shift totals and stoppages. Stoppages are detected from the absence of counts rather than reported.

Modules delivered

  • Device data collection
  • Live output dashboard
  • Shift and line totals
  • Automatic stoppage detection
  • Downtime reason capture
  • Trend reporting

What changed

What the delivered system does differently from the process it replaced.

  • Output is recorded as it happens rather than tallied
  • Stoppages are detected automatically
  • Shift and line comparison uses one consistent source

Built with

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Bill of materials and production runs for a food manufacturer Raw material issue, production batches and finished goods tracked against a recipe rather than estimated.Batch traceability from raw material to despatch Full forward and backward traceability for a manufacturer with recall obligations.Cold storage temperature monitoring with alerting Continuous temperature logging across storage rooms, with alerts before stock is at risk.Job costing for a made-to-order manufacturer Every job costed against its own materials, labour and overhead rather than an average.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
