Downtime tracking for every machine

Your machines stand still more than you think, and nobody knows exactly why. Dextrolab counts every stop straight from the machine, and your operators say why at the machine.

Dextrolab's Downtime page with the last seven days' downtime by day against the period before, and by reason, each in its category's colour.
At the machine

Every stop gets its reason

The machine says when it stopped. The operator says why, on the tablet at the machine, in a few taps.

A tablet beside a CNC lathe asking why it stopped, with the plant's own reasons to tap and Waiting for material picked.

  • Your own reasons

    Picked from your list, in your words.

  • No guessing afterwards

    The reason is given while people still remember.

  • Every hour accounted for

    Stops waiting for a reason stay listed until someone gives one.

Hours per reason

See which reasons cost the most hours

Every reason with its hours, the largest first, so you know what to fix first. By machine or shift too, for any period, against the one before.

Downtime by reason in Dextrolab, largest first, waiting for material on top, each reason in its category's colour: material, setup, electrical, tooling and machine.
Alarms

What the control said

Every alarm your machines report and how long it held them up, the costliest first, so maintenance starts from the facts.

  • On which machines

    Every alarm with the machines it came from.

  • The costliest first

    Sorted by the time each alarm cost.

  • Against the period before

    How many alarms came, against the period before.

  • Down to each stop

    Open an alarm to see every stop it caused.

Alarms in Dextrolab over the last seven days, how many came, and each alarm by the time it cost, in its category's colour.
Breakdowns

See which machines break down most

How often each machine breaks down, how long it runs between breakdowns and how long a repair takes, against the period before.

Each machine's breakdowns in Dextrolab, most first, with their change against the period before, downtime, MTBF, MTTR and when the last one came.
Questions

What shops ask about downtime tracking

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

Yes. Every stop of the machines and period you picked exports to Excel or CSV, with its reason, category and length.

Yes. Your stop reasons and their categories are your own list, in your own words, and you change it whenever you like.

Yes. Operators log scrapped parts with their reason at the machine, and you see scrap by reason and machine next to the downtime.

MTBF, mean time between failures, is how long a machine runs on average between two breakdowns. MTTR, mean time to repair, is how long a breakdown takes to fix on average. Breakdowns are the stops whose reason is a machine, electrical or network fault.

Hardly. The tablet asks why a machine stopped and offers your own reasons to tap. Our team shows your people how it works on the install day.
