Dextrolab's shop floor: good parts, OEE and utilisation, unplanned downtime by machine and reason, good parts an hour against the goal, and what needs attention now.
A normal shift

The plan is right at 6. By 10 it isn't.

A setup runs long, a machine waits for material, a tool breaks. See it while the shift still runs.

  • On the TV in the hall

    Everyone sees which machine stands, from across the hall.

  • On your phone

    The same floor, wherever you are.

A TV hung over the aisle of a machine hall, with a tile per machine, how it stands across its top and its good parts against the goal in green, amber or red below, and below the TV the tablets at the machines.
At the machine

Operators say why it stopped

A stop without a reason can't be fixed. The tablet at each machine asks, and operators answer in a few taps.

  • A reason for every stop

    Picked from your own list.

  • Scrap counted where it happens

    So OEE counts only good parts.

  • Help sooner

    A call for help reaches maintenance and managers by e-mail.

  • Easy with gloves on

    Big tiles, in Dutch or English.

After the shift

See where the hours went

Which reasons cost the most time, and what each part really takes.

  • Fix the biggest loss first

    Downtime ranked by reason, machine and shift.

  • Real cycle times

    Quote on what a part really takes.

  • A report after every shift

    Good parts, OEE and the longest stops.

  • Export to Excel

    Downtime, OEE and cycle times as a spreadsheet.

Cycle times in Dextrolab, with the hours each program lost to slower cycles, its typical cycle against its ideal, and its setups.

Questions

What shops ask first

Another question? Our team answers at contact@dextrolab.com.

Machines that share their data over OPC UA or MTConnect, and Fanuc controls over FOCAS. For CNC machines, that is Heidenhain and Siemens over OPC UA and Haas, Mazak and Okuma over MTConnect. Machines without a network port come next, through a small I/O module.

No. We install it on site in a day. The edge device only connects out, so no firewall port opens.

Yes, if you want to. Operators sign in at their machine with two taps, and you see good parts against the plan, scrap and stops per person, each part by its own cycle time. Their figures are kept 12 months.

€99 per machine per month on a yearly plan, or €119 monthly, from 5 machines. Installing costs €950 per plant, once. Tablets at the machines are your own, or rented from us for €15 a month each.

Yes: a 30-day pilot on up to 5 machines for €950, credited in full when you take a yearly plan.

You do. It stays in the EU and you can export all of it at any time.
