Linechart performance-monitoring, multi-vendor software module is said to raise utilization rates to more than 90%. Provides visibility into all production lines and identifies factory inefficiencies. Provides graphical feedback for several pick-and-place equipment performance indicators. Identifies deficiency when productivity falls below acceptable levels. Displays data down to the feeder and nozzle level. Tracks productivity, efficiency, component waste, components-per-hour, and board counts. Each is graphically displayed as a line, bar, or Pareto chart, and can be refined to group the data by day, week, month, machine, product, head, nozzle, and feeder.
