One of huge advantages that comes with automating the production workflow is easiness in collecting the production data in comparison to manual techniques. The digital workflow enables not only high precision in applying the gluing design on produced elements, but also gives deep insight into the production efficiency, being one of factors that drive the Industry 4.0 change.
Collecting the production data enhances the decision-making process and boosts the reporting potential within the organization. As these are vital components in any successful management model, at FELIX GLUER we have also developed a toolset that allows you to analyze your gluing operations based on the ongoing production data.
In-depth gluing data analysis
We have integrated FG : Statistics with our FG : PRO software suite for smooth access to your current production output. Depending on your workflow and current needs, you can have both daily and other periodic data available at a glance. After enabling the option to save production logs into a file in FG : PRO, FG : Statistics will be able to generate a data summary that will include every detail from the production process. You will learn about production time, gluing time, glue consumption, as well as be able to calculate production efficiency.
In order to optimize your production, you need the precise data on glue consumption alongside the glue weighting option to effectively calculate how much glue is being used over a gluing session, or per glued element. FG : Statistics covers such usage data for both hot melt as well as cold glue separately.
Another useful feature is a breakdown of gluing data based on used CAD files. You can not only get insight into the production numbers (e.g. how many elements have been glued using a particular design file) but also estimate the hourly efficiency. Those calculations are essential in improving your productivity and introducing a more efficient working model due to cost savings. You can always check the included preview of related CAD designs.
