Visualize Your Plant Floor

Hit Your Target, Win the Shift

Connect any size TV or monitor to the XL HD+ HDMI port for an instant operator scoreboard. For example, a 55" display can show metrics as large as 5" for easy viewing at 100+ feet.

The plant-floor scoreboard is the single most impactful and quickest way to drive improvement - by empowering and encouraging your operators to win the shift. Empower operators with the KPIs most relevant to them. Encourage operators with an efficiency score - a clear, easily understandable takt-based target with a pace that automatically adjusts based on the part you’re running. An Efficiency score of 100% or better means they’re winning the shift.

For plant-floor supervisors, the integrated chronogram is particularly helpful, as it provides an instant visualization of the shift. They can easily identify down time at the start or end of the shift, running slowly after changeovers, etc.

The scoreboard automatically adapts based on the production state XL detects - showing the right information at the right time. When your process is running, the scoreboard shows the current state of the line at a glance.

When your process is not running, the focus is on helping you return to production. XL automatically detects and displays unplanned events (such as running slowly and down) and also indicates planned events (such as changeovers and breaks) with clear, attention-grabbing visuals.

Operators: Win the Shift

Operational Tools for Your Plant-Floor Team

XL automatically collects precise data about down time, rejects, etc. so that all operators need to do is annotate this data with their perspective (e.g., add reasons for down events). The plant-floor scoreboard relfects the real-time status of the line, alerting operators when appropriate and keeping them informed.

When the line goes down, operators are prompted to add a reason, which they can do quickly and easily with a barcode scanner or with the free XL Sidekick app. Operators add their perspective in real time, right at the source, and right when it is fresh in their minds.

Supervisors: A Continuous Improvement Roadmap

Top Loss Reports for Tactical Quick Wins

One of the fastest ways for supervisors to impact manufacturing productivity is to relentlessly focus on production losses, beginning with the largest sources of loss. In other words, focus your attention on the smallest set of improvement actions that will yield big results. Think of the browser-based Top Losses report as your real-time, personalized continuous improvement roadmap.

Top Losses report built in Vorne XL and used to help supervisors make action plans.

Other popular tools for supervisors include:

  • Down Time Pareto (an all-time classic)
  • TPT (the Total Production Timeline combines a colorful chronogram with categorized loss data)
  • Six Big Losses (transforms OEE into six distinct categories that are natural targets for improvement actions)
  • Hour-by-Hour Heatmap (even better when stacked with a chronogram showing breaks, changeovers, etc.)

Managers: The Big Picture

Strategic Decisions Based on Precise Data

Having an accurate view of production throughout the entire enterprise aids managers in setting and following up on large-scale objectives. Data rollup and trended reports inform long term goals that then guide tactical and operational actions.

Charts depicting data over time, like this example that plots quarterly OEE trends by department, reveal challenge areas and areas that deserve praise because they are exceeding targets. In this case, both Stamping and Pressing began the quarter in decline. However, Stamping began steady improvement a few weeks in, whereas Pressing continued to decline. The manager can dig deeper to find out what each department did differently, and set appropriate goals for the next quarter.
