You need to reduce downtime, but where do you start?

A great place to start is focusing on your top five sources of down time. Meet with your team, pick one of the five, and brainstorm countermeasures. Next, implement the most promising countermeasures and monitor their effectiveness.  Then – do it again.

XL800 makes it easy to reduce downtime by providing you with a complete, ready-to-go solution with machine downtime tracking software for down time analytics that is so fast to implement you can be up and running in hours.

What are my top sources of down time? XL800 presents your top sources of down time in a simple to understand format.

Top 5 Downtime reasons

How do I capture the data? XL800 automatically senses when your line goes down. Your operators simply scan a bar code for the reason. In fact, XL even generates the bar codes for you – right from its web interface. No software to install. No special printers.

How do I know if my countermeasures are working? XL800 automatically generates a trend line that clearly shows if down time is truly being reduced. You can view total down time from a historical perspective, or drill down to evaluate trends for specific down time reasons.
