Data & Maintenance Combine in Machine Tool Monitoring Software

What Real-Time Machine Monitoring Shows You About Your Shop Floor

You want to see what’s happening on your shop floor right now, not when machines suddenly go down. FactoryWiz gives you that data. You get real-time visibility into machine status, usage, and downtime, so you can spot problems before they happen.

See Your Machines’ Real-Time Performance

FactoryWiz is CNC machine monitoring software that is easy to check from any web-enabled device. It displays data directly from your CNC equipment to provide reports, charts, and alerts. You can see which machines are running, idle, or down. You can track OEE, utilization, downtime reasons, operator activity, and alarms in real time.

This visibility helps you answer recurring questions:

• Which machines are losing the most capacity?
• What downtime reasons appear most often?
• Are certain shifts or departments under performing?

FactoryWiz gives you the data to answer these questions. You also have access to historical trends and automated reports.

You can compare performance by machine, shift, department, or part produced. This visibility helps you spot patterns that would be easy to miss during a daily walk-through of the floor.

Find and Fix Issues, Track the Maintenance

While machine data tells you a lot while the machines are running normally, you still want more visibility to what happens to the machines when they go down. After all, minimizing downtime is the name of the game. You want to know how long it went down, why it went down, and ways to reduce future occurrences.

Data monitoring tells you when there’s a problem. Adding maintenance tracking can:

• Automatically generate a work order
• Track costs and parts used
• Record maintenance logs for audits and historical reports
• Root cause analysis and pattern recognition to diagnose issues and reduce future occurrences

How MaintiMizer Strengthens Your FactoryWiz Data

FactoryWiz helps you improve OEE with real-time data collection. MaintiMizer, our sister product, uses that data to organize your maintenance team and preventive maintenance schedules. It builds your asset history and inventory tracking based on operator input.

While FactoryWiz and MaintiMizer can be used separately, using both together gives you a more complete picture.

Maintenance Based on Real-Time Usage

Preventive maintenance schedules are commonly based on cycle times. This ignores how much a machine has actually run. When you connect FactoryWiz data to MaintiMizer’s maintenance tracking, you can prioritize service based on actual machine usage. A high-use machine gets attention sooner; a low-use machine can wait until later.

Closed Loop from Data to Maintenance

FactoryWiz flags the downtime, the alarms, and the patterns. MaintiMizer records the response: who worked on it, what parts were used, and whether the issue is recurring. Together, they close the loop between what your machines show you and what your team does about it.

Maintenance History Helps Explain Your Production Data

When a machine shows downtime in FactoryWiz, MaintiMizer can show you the maintenance history behind it. That connection helps you complete a root cause analysis. It also gives you a record for audits, budgeting, or purchasing decisions.

Real-time OEE data visibility into your machines is valuable on its own. Combining your data with maintenance tracking enables your teams to work more efficiently with the full picture.
