For the first time, Intouch Monitoring is offering a free 60-day trial of its cloud-based production monitoring software. Simply visit the new-look Intouch website to sign up, and bring the benefits of revolutionary Cloud technology to your manufacturing business.
“You know what, we are not very comfortable with shouting about how good we are… we are British after all! 😉 So we thought, why not just let people try our system for themselves and they can decide whether they want to buy it. So here it is: The INTOUCH 60 DAY FREE TRIAL.“
Signing up for the trial is straightforward, visit the new-look Intouch Monitoring website and click on the ‘free trial’ link on the homepage. After submitting some basic details, including how many machines you use, the types of machines and some other ops information, Intouch will be in contact. Intouch will then walk you through the process of getting your MES system up and running in no time.
What benefits can you expect to see with Intouch?
A production monitoring system can truly transform your manufacturing operation, but the key benefits are:
Reduction in Downtime
An MES helps reduce downtime (increase uptime) by having alerts and alarms whenever a machine stops, enabling an operator to sort the issue out quickly.
Reasons for downtime are also recorded, making analysis and problem solving easy.
You can also set up changeover alerts so operators can prepare the right tools and materials without needing downtime.
Increased Throughput
The Intouch scheduling Gantt chart highlights where bottlenecks are likely to occur as well as shows spare capacity, so the plan can be changed accordingly, which increases throughput. Very handy when a customer asks for a last-minute job!
Reduced Energy Use
With energy being a significant cost of manufacturing, keeping an eye on energy use and not wasting it when machines are lying idle is very important. Intouch identifies excessive energy users and they can be investigated through individual machine monitoring.
Alarms can be put in place to alert users that a machine has been left on when not in use and decisions can be made to significantly reduce energy consumption.
Increased Quality/ Reduction in Scrap
Intouch monitors quality to ensure that products are being made to specification and meet product safety standards.
It also flags failing processes and allows the user to react quickly to bad or non-standard production – meaning problems are solved before too much material and time is wasted and quality and compliance are assured.
Better use of labour/ Reduced Overtime
Real-time monitoring removes the costs and errors of collecting production and process data manually and enables your personnel to use their time more efficiently whilst the high visibility motivates production staff to keep machines operational (can get quite competitive sometimes!).
