“The initiative was launched by loading the FactoryWiz software in twelve 5-axis automated machining centers. The platform monitors these assets and returns a wealth of live data to make real-time decisions keeping the cell running and running efficiently.

Things such as productivity reports, idle reason tracking, preventative maintenance, the status of equipment at a glance are just some of the benefits. This real-time data will help us fully track and better understand the performance and productivity of each individual machining center.” Phillips Precision Medicraft, 2022.

They tend to become a regular point of interest (the supervisors make sure to at least give a glance every time they walk by) and even become a gathering point for daily meetings or shop walkthroughs.
