Improve Manufacturing Efficiency and OEE
Required motion and your choice of conveyance platform both have a huge impact on your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Your manufacturing equipment affects the availability of your technology, the quality you’re able to produce, and the level of manufacturing efficiency that meets your business goals.
Here’s How
Your conveyance platform impacts nearly every aspect of your automation system. From cycle times to required maintenance to required tooling, your conveyance platform impacts the design and performance more than any singular component of your automation cell.
By treating conveyance as an integral part of your automation, you canimprove manufacturing efficiency and productivity.
Availability
You want your machinery to be available when you need it. All SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ products are designed for easy recovery and fast changeovers to maximize availability.
In addition, downtime and unplanned maintenance can cause costly delays in production impacting your production efficiency and bottom line.
With SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ and TrakMaster™ software, diagnostic tools provide insight into system status and operation for quick recovery from downtime events, allowing for high availability. Our products provide insights that will improve your availability and manufacturing efficiency.
Quality
Smart conveyance provides smooth, repeatable motion allowing station cycle times to be designed and operated without overdriving tooling, which could lead to crashes and damaged products.
Smart conveyance can also act as a data conduit because it connects all the processes in a system. Tracking and understanding the history of your product can be the difference between the continued wasteful poor product and a quality, market-ready product. Smart conveyance enables you to understand where the issues are in your process and what’s necessary to improve. This allows you to achieve greater efficiency in manufacturing.
Performance
System performance directly impacts your OEE. You need to know if your parts per minute (PPM) actuals are in line with your expectations and if that pace is going to continue to achieve your business goals.
Smart conveyance is fast and precise, so parts spend less time in motion and more time in the process. The utilization of smart conveyance features, and functionality also allows the optimization of station designs and cycle times to achieve higher performance levels. Increase performance and you increase manufacturing efficiency.
