Replace and Automate Excel

Many manufacturers, even though they may have automatic data collection in place, still spend 40+ hours a month manually summarizing data and distributing it via email. With manufacturing productivity software, your team can automate reporting and spend time performing value-added tasks to get real-time insight into the plant’s performance.

Why Mingo Smart Factory?

Mingo Smart Factory offers contextual and real-time opportunities with automated processes to understand where the problems are at any given time.

Improve Plant Performance

Know at the end of every day if you hit your targets or not. If not, why not? Understand downtime and scrap rates for each shift, day, or week, giving you the ability to make informed decisions about necessary improvements.

Reduce Errors

Manual reporting is very error-prone. It’s easy to discount or write the wrong number in the spreadsheet. The lack of accuracy and reliability is frustrating to you and your team. Mingo allows you to mistake-proof reporting, giving everyone in the plant a clear understanding of what is happening now.

Improve Key Metrics

Mingo provides a deep dive into your manufacturing data by collecting scrap, downtime, and other key production metrics to help identify the factors that most impact availability, performance, and quality. Use those insights to make improvements on the floor.

Your Smart Factory Platform

Mingo Smart Factory provides a digital platform that enables manufacturers to
manage their capacity effectively and efficiently.

Automatic Reporting and Real-Time Alerts

As smart factories have matured, algorithms have been developed to automatically find anomalies and bring them to the attention of the correct people with real-time alerts. The use of visual management resources increases engagement and communication on the floor.

Make Data-Driven Decisions

No more guessing about what’s affecting productivity. Mingo puts all your data in context so you can make evidence-based decisions. Mingo provides analytics for all areas of your organization: production, maintenance, and quality. Use it daily in production meetings, end-of-shift reporting, maintenance, and production run reviews to make evidence-based decisions affecting productivity.

Eliminate Manual Processes

Traditional, manual data collection is not timely or accurate. With smart factories, data is automatically and consistently collected, providing greater visibility into what’s happening in the plant. Mingo allows manufacturers to collect and analyze data in a way that was not possible a few years ago. Companies no longer have to rely on paper, Excel, or complicated ERP systems to analyze data from the plant floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Replace Manual Reporting is a solution that automates the manual data collection and reporting process, reducing time, errors, and manual labor associated with manual reporting. The solution works by connecting to equipment and automatically collecting data, which is then processed, analyzed, and reported in real-time.
Replace Manual Reporting works by connecting to equipment and collecting data automatically, eliminating the need for manual data entry. The data is transmitted to a central system where it is processed, analyzed, and reported in real-time. This eliminates the manual process of data collection and reporting, reducing time and errors associated with manual reporting.
Replace Manual Reporting offers several benefits, including improved accuracy, increased efficiency, reduced manual labor, and increased visibility into operations. The automation of the data collection and reporting process eliminates the possibility of human error, providing accurate data in real-time. This increased accuracy can lead to improved decision-making, increased efficiency, and reduced manual labor. The solution also provides increased visibility into operations, allowing for a better understanding of production and performance.
Replace Manual Reporting eliminates the possibility of human error during data entry and reporting, providing accurate data in real-time. In manual reporting, errors can occur during data entry or when data is being reported, leading to inaccurate information. Replace Manual Reporting eliminates this risk, providing accurate data that can be used for informed decision-making.
Yes, Replace Manual Reporting can be customized to meet specific needs and requirements, providing tailored data collection and reporting solutions. The solution can be configured to collect and report data from specific equipment and can be integrated with existing systems to provide real-time reporting. This customization allows for improved decision-making and increased efficiency, providing a solution that meets the specific needs and requirements of your operations.
One popular CNC machine tool builder advertises that its customers have read/write access to 6,000 data points. Another boasts that its machinery contains up to 60 embedded sensors, able to monitor everything from the spindle temperature to how much power is being drawn on the axis motors. Like the chatty Cathy in the buffet line, these complex machine tools use a PC-based control spewing thousands of data points from the many different embedded sensors monitoring pressure, and temperature, for different parts of the machine (spindle speed, anyone?). In other words, way too much information for a plant-level operational dashboard. Since most of that is overkill for what you need to do, we’ll show you only the data you need and spare you the custom development you’d require to get it yourself.What are the benefits of using Mingo for capacity management? The benefits of using Mingo for capacity management include real-time visibility into production performance, improved decision-making, reduced lead time, and increased efficiency and productivity. Mingo also supports continuous improvement by providing data-driven insights into production processes and employee performance.
Your operators provide meaningful data and insight into your operation. Capture it with Mingo. When you’re able to view downtime and performance by line, shift, and operator, for instance, machine and sensor data within the right context will provide you deep insights into your overall plant’s performance. To add to this, we also set up and configure manual input from your operators and users into the application. This will allow your people to add data about downtime reasons or quality commentary (e.g., good product vs. bad product). We’re one of the few manufacturing productivity applications offering this, so we can provide you with deep visibility and a more holistic view of the plant floor than you have now.The benefits of using Mingo for capacity management include real-time visibility into production performance, improved decision-making, reduced lead time, and increased efficiency and productivity. Mingo also supports continuous improvement by providing data-driven insights into production processes and employee performance.
Mingo implementation on 10 machines typically takes 3-6 weeks. It starts with an 8-hour site survey, followed by 3 hours of remote training for employees. The biggest variable is connecting to machines, which takes around 40 hours or 5 workdays. Within a month, Mingo can start tracking data and providing value, with 4 hours a week dedicated to answering questions and helping to use the software.
