Some units even offer connected servicing to fix problems remotely too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy restart after stoppages ensures downtime is minimised.<br><br><strong>General features for management of the system:<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be run on phone, PC and tablet \u2013 to ensure managers can view the information anywhere and at any time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get all data in one place: having a single source of information means no time is wasted trying to find the information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review historic production data to help you plan future production runs and support continuous improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>Additional features to minimise human error, save time and optimise production:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep data (such as your approved messages) in the cloud-based online message store so the correct formats and details are always included. This ensures meeting legal requirements (such as traceability or code type) without operators needing to be extensively trained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the cloud-based system, the online message store also operates as a backup &#8211; enabling quick recovery from unapproved changes or in the case of loss of printer settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When there is a problem, managers can see history of the production line and what happened: they can see trail of actions and operators. In this way, further training or tweaks to the system can be identified and put in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Production and engineering managers are up against a myriad of tasks and need to have the right tools to make effective decisions. It is imperative that manufacturers take measures to reduce production problems (and the inherent costs that brings).
