Performance and Visibility
FactoryTalk Metrics LE
Can you increase production on a line? Can you reduce costs while improving quality? With FactoryTalk® Metrics, you can accomplish this efficiently. FactoryTalk Metrics Line Edition (LE) provides real-time information that enables manufacturers to measure and improve the performance of their manufacturing assets. Performance metrics and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) provide the necessary information to empower plant personnel to make informed decisions around optimizing assets within a production facility, or across a manufacturing enterprise.
Rockwell Automation can help you reduce the cost and effort associated with the deployment of production and performance management applications. Now you can solve specific business issues in a production facility with a pre-packaged application from Rockwell Automation. FactoryTalk Metrics LE, one of these pre-packaged applications, is used by manufacturers to monitor operations and drive operational improvement. By using standard reports in the application, you can identify causes of lost efficiency and analyze the results to discover opportunities for improvement.
FactoryTalk Metrics LE captures, analyzes, and displays key performance metrics associated with production lines, machines, and workcells. Reports have been configured and grouped to facilitate the analysis process — extensively analyze availability, throughput, and quality losses through an intuitive Web-based reporting interface.
