Foundry
Equipment effectiveness, quality, and downtime on one screen, so the floor sees a problem as it happens, not at the end of the shift.
The problem
A contract manufacturer tracked output, scrap, and downtime on whiteboards and end-of-shift reports. By the time a problem showed up in the numbers, a full run of parts had already gone bad.
Defects were caught at final inspection, far downstream from the station that caused them, and nobody could say which stoppages were costing the most time.
What we built
Foundry brings line telemetry, vision-based quality checks, and downtime tracking into one view. The floor sees effectiveness and defects in real time, and supervisors can trace a loss back to the station and cause behind it.
- •Live overall equipment effectiveness, split into availability, performance, and quality
- •Station-by-station throughput with status for the whole line at a glance
- •Vision-based defect detection that flags parts for quality sign-off
- •Defect analysis by type, so recurring problems are easy to see
- •Downtime timeline and cause analysis across the shift
A closer look
How it works
Sensors and cameras feed the line’s status into Foundry continuously. When throughput drops or defects cluster, the screen shows it where it happens instead of in a report the next morning.
The software measures and flags. Operators and supervisors decide when to stop, adjust, or hold a batch. Flagged defects wait for a person to confirm before anything is rejected.
The outcome
Problems on the line surface in real time instead of at the end of the shift.
Defects are traced back to the station and cause that created them.
The biggest sources of downtime are visible, so improvement effort goes where it pays.
