Do you REALLY know what is going on in your company?

Written by Bill Schmidt - Texhnical Consultant out of Nebraska

Rockwell Automation has Information software which can transform how you see your company.   It can change the way in which you “thought” your company was performing.   It can take the fog and delay away from the current way in which you are getting operations information and give you near real time information in ways in which it’s easy to key in on what is REALLY happening.

---- Highland Dairy in Norfolk, NE uses RA information software to track in real time their production to improve their operation and efficiency.

You might think you company is doing pretty well, after all your employees are meeting or slightly exceeding quotas regularly.   Now let’s look at that very same data through Rockwell Software.   Let’s put that same data through the context of TIME of just how far along that quota is being met as it is being produced and a easy to understand trend chart.   Lo and behold the quota is being met alright, BUT then we now see that it is being met a ½ hour before the shift ends and then suddenly it’s like the work went into slow motion because for the remainder of the shift productivity was almost non-existent.   Effectively your company was missing out on ½ hour or so of possible production that was being wasted because the quota for the day had been met.   It “looked” like your productivity was great because you were meeting quotas, but now you see the WHOLE picture and the fog is lifted and opportunity is clear.

This is a small sample of what Rockwell Automation’s Information Software can do for you.   It MAKES you money, it does not cost you money.   All through direct interface to your production systems and straight to you in any form you wish… Web browser on your PC, Table, or phone.   Pushed to you in email or even text message for when a Key Performance Indictor (KPI) maybe starting to slide.
