Many Screens, Even More Possibilities
XL Sidekick has three types of screens, each with a distinct purpose, and all to empower your team. Action screens enable you to assign a reason when the line goes down, enter reject quantities, and start the next part or job. Data screens show detailed, real-time production data for the shift, part, and hour. The scoreboard screen shows exactly what operators on the line are seeing.

Data

Scoreboard
