vFactory Value Proposition

 

vFactory allows you to go back through a machine’s history to observe patterns between shifts, enabling you to determine accurate production times required for each part or job, in order to bid competitively. Benefits from ideal machine and tooling maintenance schedules performed at appropriate times - all regulated as an internal process through vFactory.

 

In addition to accessing and monitoring your manufacturing operation, vFactory allows you to shift workload from one location to other locations and machines hundreds of miles away. As you would expect, Amada provides you with the ability to add or remove machines from your 3D vFactory. Many of these solid-model machine images are animated - letting you know at a glance that the machine is truly active.

 

The vFactory solution system displays factory status in real time, while retrieving and compiling process information from the machines. End lengthy delays in production from undetected machine downtime. Reduce idle time to a fraction of its current levels. Consolidate your selfreporting efforts and keep track of all current project throughput and lead-time. Empower your shop with the ultimate in lights-out operation management and monitoring.

 

Alarms

 

When a machine enters alarm mode, vFactory can send an email notification to alert machine operators, supervisors, or even shop owners of machine status changes. Trust your equipment, and know that your email-enabled wireless phone or computer can notify you of issues before they become a problem. This minimizes unscheduled downtime or problems in processing, and you can have instant control over your shop floor's work flow by tracking performance like never before, from anywhere in the world.

 

Reporting

 

In addition to real time monitoring, vFactory also stores machine status and produces various extensive reports to assist your shop operation. Now your entire shop's throughput can be summarized with hard data, benchmarking your performance, highlighting any bottlenecks, and empowering your shop floor with accurate indications of performance.
