Announcing an important leadership transition at Hertzler Systems – Part 2
In last month’s post I announced my retirement at the end of the year, and shared some reflections on the history of our company and our industry. Looking ahead, I’d like to share my perspective on three mega-trends that I predict will have far-reaching implications to our world in the coming decades: The manufacturing data tsunami, self-running factories, and resource constraints.
GainSeeker 9.1 Released – Available for Download
Version 9.1 of GainSeeker® Suite Software is available. This release includes enhancements that make it easier to see and react to the current production and collect data in new ways to more accurately reflect what is happening on the shop floor.
Tech Tip: Dashboard Grid – Filtering on most recent data
I keep finding new features to use not only in the Dashboard module, but within the Dashboard Grid! One advantage of GainSeeker is the ability to visualize real-time data and easily see what is going on at a glance. The GainSeeker Dashboard can aid in your visual needs!! This enables your team to make better, more timely decisions to improve quality, profitability, and customer experience. Last month, I demonstrated how to create a new Dashboard and showed you how to utilize the Summary option in the Dashboard Grid. This month, I am back in the Dashboard Grid, but using a new feature released in GainSeeker V9.1. This new column property is labeled "Limit to most recent." For the data that passed the Date Period and Filter, this column will also filter the most recent data in this field.
Announcing an important leadership transition at Hertzler Systems – Part 1
It is time to share some important news: I will be retiring from my role as President and CEO of Hertzler Systems at the end of this year! My business partner, Byron Shetler, will pick up the reins and guide the company in the coming years. In this post I share some personal memories of our founder, Paul Hertzler, and look back on some of the innovations that we've brought to the industry. This transition has been in process for nearly two years. That long ramp has given the company plenty of time to prepare, and I’m really excited about where the company is positioned today, and where it might go in the future. We’ve never been stronger.
Tech Tip: Dashboard Grid Summary Property
November is the time to be thankful. So, I thought this would be a good reminder for the new little enhancement feature that may have been missed by many because of all the awesome stuff we are doing. I am thankful for the Dashboard Grid Summary property. This gem is located in the Dashboard module. Let's take it step by step and create a Dashboard with a simple Dashboard Grid and include a summary. At the end of this blog is a video that ties it all together. This property is only available with versions 8.9x and above.
