Manufacturing intelligence systems provider Lineview has launched its first software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform in a move aimed at enabling more data-led operations.
Lineview Navigator offers centralised, real-time line status, data analysis, automated insights, and integration with existing systems. Customers will be able to identify the true causes of production loss and optimise their overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) across multiple locations. Automatic system updates and on-demand access to Navigator’s latest features are also included.
“The manufacturing sector is under intense pressure to reduce costs while increasing efficiencies, and improving revenues,” said Steve Adams, chief executive at Lineview. “Navigator brings intelligent, real-time data to manufacturing operations – detecting hidden inefficiencies, production risks, and sustainability wastes. Automated fault-level insights, data-driven routines, and visual factory controls are already built-in, making rich data immediately available to teams, moving them from reactive to predictive.”
Navigator also lays the foundation for factory operators at all levels to proactively identify and manage production line issues before they become business critical problems. Navigator’s API connections allow highly accurate line data to integrate across the digital network, and into ERP, SAP, maintenance and warehouse management systems, Lineview added.
Delivered in three modules, Navigator Monitor, Navigator Review and Navigator Analyse, the platform bridges the gap between data collection, analysis and execution as every data point is presented into contextualised, prioritised opportunities for improvement, managed via built-in workflows and real-time alerts.
Navigator includes comprehensive reporting capabilities, so employees are not required to complete time-consuming updates, and it can track performance across sites and lines, using interactive data exploration functionality whilst automated data integration further enhances overall accuracy. Users can drill down into root causes of inefficiencies with further dashboard support available to help engineers resolve issues promptly.
Navigator is available for immediate deployment to new customers, and those on the latest version of Lineview are able to upgrade through a migration plan.
