By Ashutosh Arora
Wintriss Controls Group has introduced ShopFloorConnect, an advanced software solution for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), production tracking, and data collection, designed to help manufacturers maximize efficiency and make informed management decisions. As an on-premises solution, ShopFloorConnect ensures that users retain full ownership of their data, unlike cloud-based alternatives.
The software provides timely, accurate, and unbiased data directly from the shop floor, making it easier for manufacturers to monitor machine performance and streamline operations. With the launch of flexible and affordable purchasing options, ShopFloorConnect is now accessible to a broader range of manufacturing environments.
ShopFloorConnect is scalable and tailored for metalforming, machining, injection molding, discrete manufacturing, packaging, and other industrial sectors. The software efficiently calculates OEE metrics, helping manufacturers track downtime, optimize performance, and reduce inefficiencies.
Wintriss Controls Group has introduced three customizable purchasing packages, allowing companies to select the features and user capabilities that best align with their operational needs:
- Lite Package: Ideal for up to 20 users, offering essential reporting, alerts, and external display functions.
- Pro Package: A multi-site capable solution with unlimited users, featuring advanced scheduling, maintenance tracking, and API integrations.
- Enterprise Package: A fully comprehensive solution with all features included and a maintenance agreement for ongoing support.
To enhance shop floor connectivity, ShopFloorConnect offers multiple hardware interface options, including:
- SmartPAC 2 and SmartPAC PRO automation press controls for seamless machine integration.
- ShopFloorConnect Machine Interface (SMI 2) for real-time machine data tracking.
- ShopFloorTracker device for capturing key production metrics.
By leveraging ShopFloorConnect, manufacturers can reduce downtime, increase productivity, and drive continuous improvement, all while maintaining full control over their manufacturing data. This solution represents a significant step toward data-driven decision-making in modern manufacturing environments.
