How SI Mass Optimizes Production Processes with pvaPRO

Success Stor
Quick overview, informed decisions: SI Mass Production GmbH, a manufacturer of school and office supplies made from plastic and paper, uses the pvaPRO dashboard add-on from FASTEC for a clear and user-friendly visualization of collected data. The company not only gains a concise overview of the production status but also quickly identifies patterns and trends at a glance.
Results at a Glance:
  • Faster evaluations through user-friendly and clear dashboards
  • Better decision-making for management with compact, visual data processing
  • Increased efficiency through digital data acquisition
  • Easier monitoring of production processes through graphical data representation
  • Real-time production status with status timeline

 

For quick evaluations at a glance, the graphical dashboard view in pvaPRO is ideal.

Digital Data Acquisition and Intelligent Visualization with pvaPRO

SI Mass has been using the MES FASTEC 4 PRO  for digital data acquisition for some time, increasing efficiency and gaining better control over production processes. pvaPRO serves as a dashboard add-on, allowing production data already collected with FASTEC 4 PRO to be centrally and clearly analyzed in the web-based cloud-native application. Collected data also includes machine runtimes, shift times, and reasons for machine downtimes. This information helps management quickly identify production bottlenecks and inefficiencies and take appropriate action.

Before implementing FASTEC 4 PRO, machine data acquisition at SI Mass relied on a manual system. Employees recorded produced quantities and machine runtimes on paper, later transferring the data into Excel.

Detailed Overviews to the Production Status

Management receives key information at a glance through the dashboards without needing to delve into the details of data analysis. For production staff, pvaPRO simplifies the daily monitoring of production processes within the company. Every morning, the past 8 to 12 hours are reviewed, providing employees with an overview of which machines were running, where downtime occurred, and the reasons behind it.

Comparisons are always important to me: comparing past values with the current situation and identifying trends to see how we have developed. pvaPRO makes this particularly clear.
