The platform

One system, from the press to the report.

The press record is what the dashboard and the report both show.

One stop, three places.

Press 2 · Shift B · 04:22:57

The stop on Press 2 at 04:22:57, 56 s long: classified at the terminal by the operator as Order change, then on the shift supervisor's dashboard and in the plant manager's PDF report, with the same figures everywhere.

  1. At the terminal

    The operator picks the reason.

  2. On the dashboard

    The shift supervisor sees it at once.

  3. In the report

    The plant manager gets it on Monday as a PDF.

On the shop floor

A terminal the operator will actually use.

  • Live cycle view

    The running cycle against its target, so a problem shows while it develops.

  • Downtime in two taps

    Chronos detects the stop; the operator only picks the reason from your own catalogue.

  • The order queue

    What is running and what is next: start, pause, finish, or move it to another press.

  • Scrap where it happens

    Booked against the order at the machine, with your own scrap types.

For supervisors and managers

Dashboards you build yourself.

16 widget types on a free grid, with no ticket to IT.

An example dashboard for Press 2: machine status and OEE at 92.7 %, 42 billets in Shift B, the cycle writer, the ram pressure, and the week's downtime by reason.

Reporting

Reports by time, order, product or team.

  • OEE and downtime

    Availability, performance and quality, and every stop with its reason and comment.

  • Billet report

    One row per billet, with the columns you choose.

  • Scheduled PDFs

    By email on a schedule, or at the end of every shift.

The Chronos downtime report: working time against dead cycle and downtime, the distribution of downtime by reason, and the underlying event table.
Downtime report · where the shift actually went
The Chronos dead-cycle report for one press: median cycle gap, how many cycles were counted, the distribution, and every cycle over a month against the downtime threshold.
Dead-cycle report · every gap between billets

Alarms

An alarm is sent when a stop or a signal meets the limit you set.

  • Stops

    After a minimum duration, at start or end, or only once the reason is known.

  • Signal values

    Above, below or outside a band, with a dwell time against flickering sensors.

  • Email or app

    Subscribed per person or per group.

Around the press

The rest of the plant, in the same system.

  • Production tracking

    From casting to packing, through extrusion, stretching, sawing and ageing.

  • Shifts and teams

    Shift models with rotating teams, and reports by team.

  • Press comparison

    A sales tool that works out which press suits a profile best, with LME, billet premium and conversion cost.
