XL is a standalone device that includes I/O to communicate with your process, a scoreboard for your operators, and built-in reporting for your managers. XL seamlessly scales from machine to enterprise.
XL works on any discrete manufacturing process. That’s one of the reasons it’s used on 35,000+ installations in 45+ countries. Additional benefits of XL real-time production monitoring include:

Here is a quick test of whether XL is right for you.
XL eliminates manual data capture. Spend your time interpreting data, not tracking it.
XL measures with millisecond precision, removing human bias. Fair warning, you may be shocked to discover your true downtime and the amount of time lost to slow cycles and small stops.
XL creates a “data democracy,” where information and reporting is accessible to everyone. We are amazed by how many XL customers have MES or SCADA systems, but cannot get the information they need.

XL provides built-in and customizable real-time production reports for unlimited users, out of the box. It is a hardware appliance that easily scales up from one machine, to one plant, to your entire enterprise. Buy exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
Wire one or two sensor inputs from an existing machine photo-eye, relay, proximity switch, or encoder to XL.
Plug a barcode scanner into XL to make it easy for operators to start part runs and scan down time reasons. Print barcodes right from XL.
Connect XL to your network and provide an IP address. No software installation required, access everything through your browser.
The most important feature of XL is easy. We call it XL Easy.

Your operators need answers to two simple questions:
The XL scoreboard answers these questions in real-time. If Efficiency is 100% or better – your operators are on track to “win the shift”. We see time and time again that keeping things simple achieves better results. So keep it simple. Use the built-in scoreboard configuration or select from 100+ included metrics.
The scoreboard drives the first wave of productivity improvement with XL.

Most companies try to accomplish too much and end up achieving too little. Why? They focus on the wrong things.
The XL Top Losses report ranks every loss in terms of time. Every down reason. Slow cycles. Small stops. Startup rejects. Production rejects. Changeovers. All ranked by impact and presented in one page. With trend information that instantly shows you where you are improving and where things are getting worse. Banish assumptions. Allocate resources where you will see the biggest improvement for the least effort.
Top losses and other analytics drive the third wave of improvements with XL.
