Application Examples for the Production Marquee

OEE(Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

This setup of the marquee uses several of the data sources to configure this calculation. Using Machine Availability (runtime/total time), Machine Performance (average cycle time/expected cycle time), and Quality (good parts/total parts) calculates the OEE of your process.

KPI's (Key Performance Indicators)

This setup of the marquee displays production data and process information. Total Count, Bad Count, Rate, Cycle Time, and Downtime are several of the selectable KPI's to display on the marquee. KPI's help address your production problems immediately saving setup time, reducing downtime, and producing a higher quality part. Machine operators and plant management can view, monitor, and collect real time KPI's that inform and motivate from the marquee.

Real Time KPI's with Message Call Inputs

In addition to displaying KPI's, this setup of the marquee utilizes inputs to broadcast an "override" message on a selected line of the marquee. Downtime, maintenance, and setup messages can be displayed on the marquee when the corresponding input becomes active. An elapsed timer is also displayed to show how long the manufacturing process has been in this condition.

Event Driven Color Changes

This setup of the marquee allows the data source to control color change within the marquee based on percentages of that selected data source. All 30+ production data sources inputs have this capability. Displayed data sources can be shown in green when on pace, yellow when falling behind, or blinking red when below the required target.

Takt Time (Target Counter) Pace Tool

This setup of the marquee is used to help machine operators understand the environment of their manufacturing process. The target counter, an actual count, a remaining or elapsed takt timer, percent of target counter, and the daily goal are all calculated to display the real time process data for both the operator and production supervisor to view on the plant floor.
