Our Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) system uses real time data to reduce costs, increase resource effectiveness and deliver quality product to your customer on time. Using bar-coded documentation and real time machine monitoring First ALERT can warn you of problems as they occur.

This system will reduce costs, save waste and increase profitability. On line Shop Floor Data Capture is the capability to link machines, cells or departments to a resident computer based manufacturing system. This ensures that shop floor data is captured and processed on-line and in real time, thus eliminating the necessity for manual completion of documentation.

Is it for you?
Best suited to multi stage manufacturers where value can be added at each operation and time is of the essence. Ideally your company will have twenty plus employees and will be an operating unit with a turnover of between £1m and £500m.

What is it and how does it work?
From data captured by bar code, timing devices, route card and/or on line machine monitoring, you are ALERT’ed to problems as they occur. First ALERT is an “expert” system which, by user definition, will ALERT management on a variety of problems, examples of which are:

* Overrun of setting time
* Slow running of jobs
* Over or under capacity
* Late start or finish of jobs
* Material/component compatibility

Data collected is interrogated by First ALERT continuously, and is processed by your manufacturing system.

The Benefits
* Easy and intuitive to use
* Quick to implement
* Fast payback
* ALERTS the user to problems as they occur, in real time
* Drill down facilities to investigate and resolve issues quickly
* Comprehensive history assists with improvements in manufacturing and quality
* Links to back office and other systems
* Eliminates data entry duplication and transcription errors

Shop floor at a glance

A colour coded schematic of your shop floor or department showing which Jobs have problems, which machines are running at capacity as well as those that are under-utilised.
