Crown is a long-time user of the GainSeeker Suite. They have an outstanding team, a fantastic product, and they are a great customer. GainSeeker helps them ensure the quality of their products, and GainSeeker's real-time dashboards are a critical component in their visual factory information system.
The tricky part was something we just take for granted: reading data from two gages coming into one Microridge MobileCollect Wireless system. Evidently we were the first vendor who could distinguish between them and assign the values to the right features. Knowing the flexibility of GainSeeker Suite, I had no doubt that we could meet his requirements. I visited the plant last Thursday, and our deployment tech was on-site first thing this morning (the following Tuesday). By mid-afternoon today we had a working prototype up and running.
If you've done your prep work for your SPC Software launch, you can enter the white water of the launch with a steady hand and clear eye on your goal. But your work isn't done. Here are five more practices that will help you successfully navigate the actual deployment cycle.
Over the years, we’ve seen customers achieve incredible success with GainSeeker Suite SPC Software. GainSeeker adds thousands - sometimes millions - of dollars to their bottom line. In the process, GainSeeker empowers a cultural transformation to a data driven organization. These successes aren’t accidental, and they’re not guaranteed. They’re the result of good planning and execution, and great leadership.
I'm hearing this complaint a lot recently: “We have all this data stuck out there in all of these systems, and we can't get to it in a timely manner. Sometimes days or weeks go by before we see it. It is so cumbersome to extract, and we're operating so lean that we just can’t sustain this effort. We need to free these people up to do more value-added work. It's killing us.”
We have a new video introducing GainSeeker Suite. Get a very high level overview in just a few minutes.
The most important new features are improved support of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) charting and analysis. We've had customers using GainSeeker for OEE for several years, but they've done it with just the built in features of GainSeeker Suite SPC and Defect Management. The new charts use some innovative techniques to store all OEE data in one place, and then give the user the ability to build some really powerful OEE charts. These new techniques for managing OEE data make building OEE dashboards much easier, and put a world of options at user's fingertips.
"I just want to play with the data," That's what Al Swain, Quality Manager for Exacto, Inc., told me a few months ago as we were discussing his ERP system. Exacto is a high-precision machining company based in Northern Indiana. Exacto’s “A small company with a big-company ability,” as they say it. Al had been using GainSeeker for real-time shop floor SPC for years. He appreciates the flexibility GainSeeker provides for slicing, massaging, and analyzing data to drive improvements on the shop floor Even though GainSeeker Suite includes a comprehensive defect management system, Exacto had never implemented it because operators were already collecting scrap data in their ERP system. The ERP system needed the information to keep track of WIP, inventory, and costing.Data entry into two systems wasn't an option.
Our new GainSeeker Collect iPad (and Android) app has been picking up momentum. We think it is because it is easy to set up, flexible enough to handle a lot of situations, and fast, efficient, and very portable for the operator. “
