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.
Right now

See what needs someone now

When the shift falls behind, you see why: which machine is down, which one waits, and what for. While the shift still runs, so you act before the day is lost.

Needs attention, each beside its machine's shift so far: CNC-004 down for 14 minutes with a spindle alarm, CNC-009 idle for 32 minutes waiting for material, CNC-002's setup 35 minutes over, job 5120-D on CNC-007 running late, CNC-006 slower than quoted, and a work order due on CNC-011.
  • The most urgent first

    A breakdown or a call for help before a short wait.

  • Help on its way

    See who is going, so nobody goes twice.

  • A mail when one breaks down

    And when someone calls for help, away from a screen too.

  • On your phone too

    Wherever you are in the plant.

On the shop floor

Everyone sees how each machine runs

The TV in the hall and the tablet at each machine show whether it runs and keeps up with its goal, so the floor acts while the shift still runs.

  • Seen from across the hall

    The TV shows every machine, and which one is down.

  • Ahead or behind, at a glance

    Which machine keeps up with its goal, and which falls behind.

  • Every operator sees the goal

    Good parts against the plan, on the tablet at the machine.

The TV board in the hall: a tile per machine, how it stands across its top, and its good parts ahead of or behind the goal in green, amber or red.
The tablet at a running machine: how it stands, the job it makes, and its good parts against the goal.
Where the hours go

Know why your machines stop

Everyone has a theory about what costs the most. See which problems cost you the most hours, how often they happen and on which machines, so you know what to fix first.

Downtime by reason in Dextrolab, the largest first, each with the machines it stopped, its stops, its hours and its share as a bar: waiting for material 165 times, nearly 49 hours and almost half of all downtime, then changeovers, tool changes and an empty bar magazine.
  • Whether it got better

    By machine or shift, for any period, against the one before.

  • Which machines break down most

    How often, and how long a repair takes.

  • What the control said

    Every alarm with the time it cost.

  • Scrap counted where it happens

    Logged at the machine, with its reason.

After the shift

See what you really make

How much of every shift became good parts, and which machine fell behind, in a report ready when the shift ends.

  • OEE for every machine

    Every shift, counted by the machine.

  • Where a shift loses parts

    Stops, slow cycles or scrap, whichever costs most.

  • In your inbox

    A summary as each shift ends, the week each Monday.

  • Export to Excel

    OEE, downtime and cycle times as a spreadsheet.

A late shift's report with good parts against the goal, OEE, utilisation and scrap, downtime by machine and the longest stops.
For your quotes

See what a part really costs

You quote a price in your ERP, but nobody knows what a job really cost. See each job's quote beside what it really cost, and while it runs, what it will cost at its pace.

Jobs in Dextrolab as work orders, each open on its operations, a machine each, with its status, what it was quoted and what it really cost, or while it runs what it will at this pace.
  • What a part really takes

    Each program's real cycle on each machine.

  • How long setups take

    Every changeover, against the time quoted.

  • Straight into your quote

    Every program as a spreadsheet for quoting.

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.

Only what the control needs to share its data, such as switching on its network data. Dextrolab itself only reads, and never writes to a control.

No. Our team installs it on site. The edge device only connects out, so no firewall port opens.

The edge device keeps reading your machines and holds what it reads for days. Once the connection is back, it sends it all.

Yes, because it helps them. Help comes sooner, they see how their shift is going, and the figures show when a stop wasn't their fault.

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 counts by its own cycle, so a long part or a breakdown counts against nobody.

€129 per machine per month on a yearly plan (€109 from 20 machines), or €149 monthly, from 5 machines. Installing costs €950 per plant, once, for up to 10 machines, and €60 for each machine more. Tablets at the machines are your own, and we lend them for the pilot.
