Avis clients sur Mingo Smart Factory

Wow! Sensrtrx has changed our production floor

Commentaires : These guys were super helpful all the way (even after-sale and implementation). They have helped us eliminate a lot of waste and increase our throughput. I would estimate they have returned 10% to our bottom line.

Avantages :

Easy to use and understand for everyone on the team. Provides visibility we always needed (and things we didn't know we did).

Inconvénients :

If I had to nitpick, I would say there was a small learning curve getting everyone set up. It is probably better than most, but it still takes a little bit to get the team on board.

Rockstars!!!

Avantages :

Sensrtrx made the impossible, possible. At first we tried to get help from our machine manufacturers and obtained no results. We then spoke to other similar companies and they all said that the connection to the machine PLC and to figure out the data points was not their thing. SensrTrx took on the challenge and we now have all of our critical machines connected. The rep is very clever, resourceful, and determined to find solutions to every challenge posed to him, all with a great and easy to work with attitude.

Inconvénients :

Setting up the software to display the data the way we want it is a bit challenging to understand and learn. The rep has given us several training sessions and has done most of the leg work to get us setup. This is the only area I could see Sensrtrx improving to make it more intuitive.

First time user

Commentaires : I haven't had a lot time with the software yet.

Avantages :

Once it is all fixed to our machinces it will tell our downtime, shell count, and efficentce.

Inconvénients :

We have to go back and forth with messages we don't have a representative present.

Overall Great; Need few improvements/bug fixes & features.

Avantages :

Real time downtime tracking & Graphical representation of data is impressive.

Inconvénients :

How Mingo handles some of the planned downtimes. Very easy to go around by end users/operators. Mobile app needs to allow website controls ; currently mobile app could only be used to monitor stats.

Mingo's at ICE BG

Commentaires : The overall experience has been positive. No complaints.

Avantages :

Mingo has been wonderful due to the fact every metric of production is visible in real time. As Plant Manager, if my people are on the floor and unavailable, I can simply view the website or the app to see how production is doing during off hours. Also, tracking of scrap, production hours and downtime are helpful to share with operators during weekly meetings.

Inconvénients :

The inhouse training for Mingo with Managment was short. While most of our questions were answered, we did not know what questions we might have due to having never used the system. The team at Mingo does help us with any questions we might have and assists in any ways they can. Just think the training during the ramp up could have been more comprehensive.

Great product for manufacturers

Commentaires : The product has provided extreme levels of visibility to the manufacturing plant floor, for machine downtime and utilization, production, machine status, etc. It runs consistently well, no downtime with the product that we've seen. It has replaced a lot of paper and Excel spreadsheets. Solid, friendly, and very knowledgeable team behind the product.

Avantages :

We like the Operator screen, production schedule capabilities, and the extreme flexibility with creating and editing dashboards. If you know how to use Excel you can create and edit dashboards...it's that easy. It is straight forward to connect to machines and get data out of them very quickly.

Inconvénients :

Integrations with ERP take some time, but that's normal. Most of the issues are usually on the end of the ERP.

Mingo Smart Factory is second to none!

Commentaires : Great! It has changed the way we capture and look at data.

Avantages :

* Allowed us to capture data in real time * Transitioned from a paper-based system to a digital system * Allowed us to capture a real OEE number and set goals for each area

Inconvénients :

We have not come across a true con yet in our experiences with Mingo Smart Factory.

Absolutely the right Solution for our Manufacturing environment

Commentaires : Our experience has been very positive. You get out of it what you put into it, and you can move at your own speed of implementation. We will continue to roll this out to our remaining facilities at our own pace.

Avantages :

That we could install it & set it up ourselves, which avoided six-figure installation costs to a third party. The real-time data analytics allow you to impact change while an event is happening instead of when it's too late. Mingo continues to provide low-cost easy to implement solutions for businesses like ours that make it a very easy solution to use without having to add additional people to manage the platform.

Inconvénients :

Would be nice to have a little more functionality around restriction of data visibility among varying users at different locations.

Automotive stamping with Mingo

Avantages :

Real time performance and efficiency status of each workcenter available from any place in the World. Software. Very intuitive interfaces with plenty of charts on every subject. Modern design and convenience in use.

Inconvénients :

Fairly difficult to implement. Especially when your manufacturing floor is not very transparent to radio signal. We also had some difficulties to find the right circuit in our machines to send the cycle signal to Mingo system - we have a variety of presses. It is very important, but not easy to train and discipline the operators, so the data collected is accurate.

Provides Real Time Visibility to Operations

Commentaires : Overall, Mingo Smart Factory has been a benefit to the company by allowing management of operations in a real time environment.

Avantages :

The real time visibility that Mingo Smart Factory provides helps to quickly and efficiently detect and correct problems in our manufacturing process.

Inconvénients :

The report creation is a little difficult to navigate.

Unbiased data for unbiased decision making

Commentaires : First we needed to know that process variables were not varying beyond the intended settings. Second we wanted to know exactly when the equipment was used and how often. SensrTrx gathers exactly this information from the source. We use the process data for quality projects to eliminate certain issues as potential causes of scrap and instead focusing attention of the real problems. Knowing when machines are running informs efficiency improvement efforts moving focus between operator, machine and material issues.

Avantages :

- provides data from it's source, the machines themselves. This linkage gives confidence that the data can be trusted. - the customer support is the top notch, better than any other I've experienced in software or similar industrial services. Emails are answered. Calls are picked up. Concerns are addressed. They are patient. - it is extremely configurable to accommodate wide ranging manufacturing environments. The product was obviously designed by those with significant manufacturing experience as opposed to some software guys deciding to target manufacturing. Their knowledge of how manufacturing actually works comes through.

Inconvénients :

- the extreme configurability has a downside, so many options and variables to learn! As a relatively new user I'd prefer a simpler starting point. It takes time to understand the hierarchy and how the variables and settings interact. That said, we were given training two times to two sets of people and spent as much time as we wanted.

Great Tools for Management and Operators

Commentaires : We have installed in 2 very different facilities and have had great results in both instances. We are working to move all of our operational KPI measurements into the ST environment to have a consistent platform not reliant on manual tracking in a spreadsheet. Looking forward to finding more ways to use the ST platform to help make us better. The staff is great to work with in finding ways to integrate the software into our model, and open to feedback.

Avantages :

The setup and install was straightforward and easily fit our unique business model(s). After install the operators now know how they are tracking to goals in real time, and management can make decisions in real time to allocate resources to best meet company goals. The ability to monitor a multi site manufacturing operation remotely is changing the way we make decisions.

Inconvénients :

There is not much to like least. A few of the features are geared more toward high volume, very short cycle time applications. In our business we have some cycle times that exceed 4 hours. This limits the real time tracking in a very small minority of the measures for dashboards and scoreboards.

Will increase profit and uptime

Avantages :

The structure/architecture of the software is very logical and is easy to configure. It is great to be able to configure for different plants also geographically separated and in different time zones. The integration with I/O is great and also that you can use information from Scada and PLC where you already are connected to sensors. For the Machine Operators it is easy to work with reasons for faults. The analytics and reports are extensive and seems sufficient for our needs. It is getting more and more important with integration with other systems like ERP and other systems and Sensrtrx has a good solution for this need. The Dashboard and Scoreboard gives you an excellent overview how the plant is working. It fits well into a modern architecture of Systems of Systems. We got very good training to learn how to configure the system and good support on the questions we had.

Inconvénients :

The system is intuitive and easy to use but there are always possibilities for improvements

The Software that changed our game

Commentaires : The real data we get from our machines on the floor has changed the game for us. Production has increased by 4% over the last 7 months and we are trending up in the area of finished goods by almost 7%. The engineer who helped us with the install worked well with our facilities folks.

Avantages :

The ease of set-up and use was huge in adding the software. On our continuous journey in the areas of process improvement the data that this software has provided has helped us reduce downtime significantly.

Inconvénients :

Software is only 7 months old and we have only experience minor issues which were on our end.

Review of Sensrtrax

Commentaires : Works great, reaching out to the CS team does not seem to be the best.

Avantages :

Being able to see what is being done, and the ability to see it remotely.

Inconvénients :

Software is not compatible with a couple of our machines.

Mingo for the Factory

Avantages :

Easy to use and customize display dashboards for the shop floor.

Inconvénients :

The age of our equipment made connecting to Mingo slightly challenging, but that was on our side, not Mingo's.

Mingo Implementation - Assembly Manufacturing

Avantages :

The Mingo team is more than willing to try to accommodate user requests. Additionally, the quality inputs/outputs are really solid and beneficial to a manufacturing business.

Inconvénients :

Mingo is still developing features to make "quality of life" of users/operators better. There are some limitations at this time.

Great technological solution

Commentaires : Great technology, great solution by the support team. Really understanding the needs of manufacturers and how to drive visual solutions and ease of use.

Avantages :

Great solutions to make visible the productivity of any type of manufacturing equipment (new, used and old).

Inconvénients :

Initially, SenstrTrx did not have an app for smartphones; that has since been resolved.

SensrTrx Manufacturing Analytics

Commentaires : Production data tracking and reporting.

Avantages :

User friendly, easy of use. Remote/mobile access. Customizable and clear report options.

Does not track inventory or link to shipping functions.

Mingo has been a great fit for us.

Avantages :

I am pleased with the comprehensiveness of the system and the highly customizable format.

Inconvénients :

Nothing really. I wouldn't change a thing.

Good program

Avantages :

User Interface is perfect, setting up the program is very easy.

Inconvénients :

Does not work well when you have co part and you want to run only one part on the machine as this is reducing the OEE unless you adjust manually.

The Software You Need to Help Better Manage Your Shop Floor!

Avantages :

Easy to use and fast to deploy! It provides valuable data that can be acted upon almost immediately.

Inconvénients :

I wish that I would have known about it sooner!

Game Changer
