Flow Software makes it easy to compare KPIs across intervals, including hourly, shiftly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly periods. This ability unlocks Short Interval Control and is the driving calculation behind every shift and standup meeting.
Once KPIs have been built in Flow and organized by time period interval you can further contextualize these KPIs by slicing them by operational event context, including product type, batch run, lot number, or even production stage and state.
Is there any KPI more vital than understanding where you will end your production day, week, month, or quarter? Flow uses your existing history to establish production run rates and project future values that you can then compare to your target or plan.
Whether you track your downtime within Flow or feed the Flow calculation engine downtime events already being tracked, you can create new KPIs that demonstrate frequency, duration, cause, even mean time between failures.
From basic arithmetic to complex predictive modeling, Flow equips users with a comprehensive set of tools for data-driven decision-making. Whether you're analyzing business metrics, conducting scientific research, or diving into data analytics, Flow's functions make the process seamless and intuitive.
Publish any Flow template (your information model, calcs, and KPIs) directly to Ignition as UDTs thanks to the ease of MQTT Sparkplug. Take advantage of a free resource on the Ignition Exchange to visualize Flow KPIs in Perspectives.
1). Determine true cost (labor, raw materials, utilities) in the current time window
2). Track unscheduled downtime, causation, frequency, and financial impact
3). Provide machine hours, cycle count, and anomalies to your maintenance team
4). Monitor adherence to your production plan
5). Tighter quality controls to ensure standards adherence and reduce waste
6). Calculate machine/equipment availability, performance, and even OEE
7). Production reports sliced by multiple calendar periods, process conditions, and production attributes
8). Drive your production/process/maintenance meetings with Flow dashboards and reporting (Bonus-- manual input to assist with shift handovers & future analysis)
9). Inter line/machine/site Short Interval Control and performance benchmarking
