    Our dashboards

    Downtime causes icon

    Shutdowns and availability dashboard

    Identifying and recording downtime on each piece of equipment for analyzing reasons for downtime
    Icône humidité

    Continuous humidity analysis

    Collecting data from humidity sensor and analyzing drying performance to meet standards and increase the quality of secondary wood-processing products. The data is available in a multi-criteria dashboard (product, drying batch, dryer, mill of origin...)

    Sawing line dashboard monitors machine intensity on the machines, according to batch being run.

    Peak alerts for intervening in time.

    Performance continually improved by monitoring condition of equipment to prevent breakages, repeated shutdowns, overuse, and unnecessary sharpening.

    Controlling performance and quality with data directly from plant equipment. While the data already does exist, it must be manually gathered from each machine without EFFECTO.

    InSite automatically collects data and aggregates it to show performance in real time to highlight any problems of throughput and machine productivity for improved decision-making by prioritizing the steps to be taken for dealing with what’s going too fast and with what’s not going fast enough.
