Deployed as a plug-and-play system, sensors clip on any machine and transmit real-time information into the cloud. Then, the plant manager and team can instantly get visibility into any machine’s activity via an intuitive app on any computer or phone. Little time and training is needed to get the system running and quickly delivering useful insights. Manufacturing teams can track differences in system changeover or process time, identify trends, problems and anomalies such as uptime, downtime or idle time and improve response and remediation across incidents through tagging and prioritization. Guidewheel allows supervisors to conduct analysis on machines' productivity between specific time periods, escalate idle or downtime as issues and send notifications to concerned stakeholders for remediation. Teams can utilize system-generated links in received alerts to access the data on equipment or gain insights into escalated issues via any device including smartphones and tablets. Guidewheel has a dedicated customer success team that provides training and support via phone, email, and video calls to ensure each manufacturer using the system gets full value.

Guidewheel has also helped our company out by being able to troubleshoot our machines more efficently by finding trends of problems that may be reoccuring and to find the source of why the same problem is happening. I can do this by looking at past work assignments that have been tagged in the Guidewheel Software.
