What it is
LineView Navigator is a cloud platform that converts factory data into operational guidance for manufacturing teams, especially high-speed bottling and filling operations. Monitor continuously updates OEE, throughput, line speed, and operating mode from PLC data read at sub-second frequency, ranking stops and deviations by output impact and including micro-stoppages under 30 seconds. Review creates shift, day, and week reports with cross-shift comparisons. Analyse compares lines, sites, and regions and examines causal-loss trends over 90 days. SmartWorker guides shift handovers, root-cause analysis, centrelining audits, and CIL checks. AMI answers operational questions from production data, event history, and connected documents, and can identify recurring losses, declining MTBF, and data-quality issues. Navigator connects with PLCs, historians, MES, and ERP systems, sends data to BI tools and data lakes, and offers an API for mode, SKU, and line-configuration changes. Pricing is on request.
