Machine KPIs define a set of values against which to measure. By doing so, it allows you to measure machine performances and evaluate success. In the industrial world, many have turned to IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) to take their company to the next level of digitalization.
Factories need to know everything that concerns their machines, from the real-time production information to maintenance planning. Having access to those metrics allows users to take sound and fact-based decision and maximize the availability of the production line.
Thanks to data, we should have access to a lot of information. But how to easily action this information? What if you could remotely monitor the performance of your equipment live?
Picture this: You have the power to enhance your fleet and inspect every detail of either the production or the machine itself. Envision being able to centrally monitor all your equipment. Think about starting proactive maintenance based on key indicators and receiving notifications accordingly. Imagine having access to local dashboards for remote diagnostics...
Now, the factory owner's next move is to find the ideal solution to effortlessly and securely implement KPIs and view them on a proper dashboard.
