DOWNTIME

To optimise an aspect of production, you first have to measure it. The Tui Downtime system is a perfect product to start understanding where production issues are.

Whether it is a single station or a complete plant with multiple centres, the Tui Downtime system monitors if the machine is in production. When the system detects that the machine is in downtime, a pop-up will be displayed on the operator’s console allowing them to quickly select the relevant area, sub area (optional), cause and reason.

The Tui Downtime system can be interlocked, preventing the machine from entering production again until the operator has made a selection.

Web reports allow quick and easy access to analyse where the day’s, week’s or month’s downtime has occurred.
