Integrated Machine Monitoring

Integrated Machine Monitoring

In many organizations, daily management is still partly based on manually collected information. Operators or production leaders manually report downtime, production values, and quality deviations. By integrating machine data into daily management, you can get more up-to-date, objective, and efficient production follow-up.

Clear advantages of sending your machine data to Boards on Fire:

  • Track OEE, downtime causes, and other relevant machine data in daily operations
  • Create deviations and improvements linked to your machines
  • Contribute to transparency and give the team the right conditions for follow-up
  • Make fact-based decisions and act more in real time
  • Reduced manual administration

An example board that can exist at the team level, where the OEE and downtimes of three machines are monitored, and improvements related to the machines are managed.

How it works technically:

To monitor your machines in Boards on Fire, the data needs to be sent via our API or through the File Integration. This requires that you have a machine monitoring system or similar solution that can forward data from the machines. Each machine is mapped to a data carrier in BoF, which is named after the respective machine, and these then store the data separately at the machine level. Create a data source to manage all the key metrics, and once the data is in place, you can visualize it in several different ways in Boards on Fire as usual.
