Configuring your Factories and equipment is the first step in your setup. It requires to:
|
Configuring your Factories
You must configure at least one Factory, but you can have multiple sites depending on the size of your company, allowing you to separate data based on your different entities.
|
1. To start, click on "Factories" in the sidebar to access the "Factories Management" page. 2. Click on "Add a Factory" |
|
3. Fill in all the required information. Providing as much detail as possible will help structure your data better in the platform. 4. Once all the information is entered, click the "ADD" button. Your production site is now created. |
|
Configuring your Machine Groups
Once your production sites are configured, you can create your machine groups. A machine group represents one of your cells, production lines, or a set of your equipment. Global indicators will be calculated based on your machine groups.
|
1. To create your machine groups, click on "Machine Groups" in the sidebar or directly on the page to access the "Machine Group Management" page. 2. Click "Add a Group" |
|
3. Fill in all the required information. Providing as much detail as possible will help structure your data better in the platform.
4. Once all the information is entered, click "ADD". |
|
Repeat this process for each of your machine groups.
Configuring your Machines
Once your sites and groups are created, you can populate them with your machines. You will be able to track key indicators for all your equipment equipped with a Keyprod device at the machine, group, or site level.
|
1. To add machines to your environment, click on "Machines" in the dropdown menu or directly on the "Machine Groups" page to access "Machine Management" 2. Click "Add Machine" |
|
3. Fill in the "General Information". Click "Next" to proceed to the next tab. Consider adding a complete description: the more machines you have, the easier it will be to manage them. If this is your first setup, proceed directly to the next step.
|
|
|
4. Otherwise, the "Schedule" tab allows you to assign time slots to machines after creating them on the "Opening Hours" page. Click "Next" once your schedules are set. |
|
|
5. The next tab, named after the device installed on your machine, allows you to select the assigned device and configure the type of data to counting (ON/OFF or Counting, depending on the device and your usage). Then, click "Next". |
|
|
6. The final tab allows you to define minor-stops thresholds for this machine—an essential step to ensure precise and relevant indicators for your production:
|
|
6. Click "ADD" to complete your machine setup and repeat this process for all machines equipped (or to be equipped) with a device.
Configuring your Downtime causes
Some downtimes are common across all your machines, but you may need to track specific downtimes based on your organization and objectives. To support this, the application allows you to create custom "downtime causes" tailored to your environment. These causes can then be reported by your teams, used to generate production indicators, and analyzed to develop action plans.
|
1.Go to the "Downtime Causes Management" page by selecting "Downtime Causes" from the dropdown menu. 2. Click "Add a Downtime Cause" to create a new entry. |
|
3. Fill in the required information:
4. Assign the downtime cause to the appropriate site, group, or machine. 5. Click "ADD" to confirm the creation of the downtime cause and repeat this process for each additional downtime cause you need to create |
|
Associating your devices
Click on "Devices" in the dropdown menu to access the "Device Management" page. Your devices have been pre-configured by our teams and are already visible in your space. On this page, you will find all your devices and the machines they are associated to. Similar to the "Machines" page, this page also allows you to associate your machines with their respective devices.- Machine: Select the machine where the device is installed.
- Counting Type: Specify the counting method you want to use:
- ON/OFF: The device will report production and non-production states. While counting is often seen as the central data point, precisely tracking production times is already a crucial step in continuous improvement. Many optimizations can be made based on this simple metric, often leading to significant OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) improvements.
- Operations/Cycle & Pieces/Cycle: These two methods define how data is reported on the platform:
- Operations/Cycle: An operation count-based approach where an unit is recorded after detecting a specific number of operations.
- Pieces/Cycle: A piece count-based approach where an unit is recorded after detecting a specific number of produced parts.
A Keyprod expert will assist you in choosing the best method if needed.
Repeat this process for all devices that need to be assigned.
