Packaged goods manufacturers have taught us three very important things: Nothing is more expensive than downtime. Nothing is more valuable than reducing it. Opinions, conventional wisdom and never-ending debates about what is really causing downtime rarely lead to eliminating it.

What does help eliminate downtime are facts, data, and objective determinations of what is going on with a production line.

ZPI Monitor & Report provides real-time 24/7/365 visibility into the performance of every machine in a production line.

It does this by capturing, aggregating and storing every signal from every piece of equipment in a production line, from inbound raw material handling to palletized finished product. If something happens on a machine anywhere in a production line, Monitor & Report captures it and customers can analyze it.

Monitor & Report provides real-time, fact-based alerts and insights into critical production line questions:

  • What happened?
  • Where in the line did it happen?
  • When did it happen?
  • How long was the machine or line down?
  • Why was the machine or line down?

Monitor & Report empowers manufacturers to quickly identify and troubleshoot production problems and it provides fact-based analytic support for a wide range of continuous improvement initiatives including Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

It is used around the world by customers of all sizes from a wide range of industries including ready-to-drink beverages, beer, distilled spirits, baked snacks, frozen pizza, candy, ground coffee, canned meats, nutritional products, yogurt, automotive lubricants, automotive fluids, paint and pharmaceutical products.
