Bottlenecks

Unlock higher throughput with Linecraft’s flagship feature “Bottlenecks”.

The reality is, your production line holds immense output potential, but its capacity is being limited by bottlenecks.

On a balanced line, workstations are arranged in a way that each one performs a roughly equal amount of work within a specified time period. However, due to unforeseen breakdowns, some machines take longer than expected, making everyone wait. This makes them a bottleneck.

Since different machines break down at different times because of different factors, the bottleneck effect keeps shifting on the line. This has a compounding impact on the line’s productivity, and the manufacturer stays elusive to the actual productivity.

It’s impossible to pinpoint shifting bottlenecks with manual observations analysis. This is why Linecraft acts as a game changer.

We use AI to identify bottlenecks automatically. This data empowers you to take targeted corrective action which will lead to a direct improvement in throughput.

You get the list of bottlenecks based on the highest impact on the line. Prioritize resolving the most critical bottlenecks for line-level optimization.

Drill down into the bottleneck cell to identify specific assets causing delays. Access total wait graphs and wait duration between assets for granular analysis.

Easily view bottleneck instances for specific time ranges. Conduct historical analysis for deeper understanding of bottleneck trends.

Insights

Transform your line-level optimisation strategy with a smart tool which identifies improvement opportunities automatically. It pinpoints the action items that will ensure more throughput quickly.

Our tool is tailored to the demands of a modern, fast-paced factory environment. It simplifies the complexities of your optimization process, enabling you to focus on resolving high-impact incidents.

Gain access to auto-identified, auto-categorized asset-wise incidents on the line. Seamlessly monitor the action items on each issue.

Gain an understanding of how much production will increase if a specific issue is resolved. Strategize better by knowing the impact before putting any effort.

View and analyze various issues affecting productivity, such as downtimes, stoppages, stuck states, variable cycle times, and more.

Drill down into each incident at a granular level to identify their root causes. Conduct thorough investigations to identify patterns, trends, and recurring issues.

Critical Cells

Equip your asset management strategy with a smart tool that automatically identifies the machines that might hamper the line productivity at a given time.

No more worries about sudden breakdowns and emergencies. With detailed knowledge of vulnerable machines, you can prioritize maintenance efforts in advance, allocate resources strategically, and plan investments effectively.

Gain an automatically generated list of the most critical cells on the line so you can focus maintenance efforts where they have the most impact.

Criticality of the assets is based on their Availability, Performance and Quality, which are the 3 factors that define the asset’s OEE.

For each critical asset, you can view downtime details, cycle drilldowns, and bad part count. With such granularity & precision, root cause analysis becomes effortless.

Ensure all facets of operations are aligned for optimal efficiency. Our tool is designed for utility across maintenance, production, and quality departments.

Loss Management

Say goodbye to the tedious process of manual logging of losses on the shop floor. With Linecraft’s intelligence layer, all the productivity losses are captured automatically with high precision.

This tool can save you hundreds of man-hours every month because it records losses directly from the PLC and completely eliminates the need for manual inspections and data entry of losses. It empowers the plant force to focus their efforts on quick loss attribution, analysis, and resolution.

It records the exact start time and end time details of each loss at hh:mm:ss level. This eradicates all manual errors.

It automatically attributes the losses to A, P, or Q (Availability, Performance, Quality) issues.

The losses can further be categorized into various types based on your existing grouping.

It displays the data in an easy-to-use interface with a simple template for attributing a loss to the underlying fault.

Condition Monitoring

Elevate your maintenance approach with our Condition Monitoring tool. Every time a suspicious change is detected in machine health, you get notified instantly.

With this capacity, you can remotely monitor the line’s health and schedule interventions before any breakdowns occur. This tailor-made preventive maintenance strategy caters to the actual needs of the equipment and prevents any impact on production.

Say goodbye to emergency repairs and brace yourselves to significantly increase equipment uptime, reduce overall maintenance costs, and optimise spare part inventory.

Receive instant notification at the first hint of any change in machine health and monitor the triggers without being on the shop floor.

No more one-size-fits-all, you define what you want to be notified about. Choose from a wide range of parameters and conditions for each station in accordance with your requirements.

Set alerts for all the team members based on their roles and responsibilities for a collaborative response. Notify them on their preferred channel - in-app, SMS, or email.

View comprehensive details behind each alert and access the complete history of triggered alerts to understand patterns and refine monitoring strategies over time.

OEE Monitoring

Designed to provide granular, historic, and real-time insights into the vitals of your production cells, our OEE software monitoring tool gives you full visibility into the gap between the potential performance and the actual performance of your line.

It offers a comprehensive approach for continuous improvement, enabling you to streamline operations, minimize downtime, and maximize productivity.

Monitor the OEE of each production cell and asset with precision in real-time and historical context to pinpoint and resolve inefficiencies.

Visualize OEE trends via heatmaps & graphs for continuous improvement decisions. Customize the dashboard to highlight insights that matter to your team.

Identify & quantify production losses attributed to downtime & low efficiency to implement targeted strategies to enhance overall output.

Leverage detailed reports analyze downtime of various cells on the line to pinpoint reasons for unavailability and implement corrective actions swiftly.
