Enabling shop floors
go Lean.
What we do
We empower decision makers at all levels in manufacturing plants to get real time data from machines at their fingertips, wherever they are, at any time, on any device. This enables them to cut waste of machine capacity, material and manpower, and thereby improve profits.
Why we do this
Inaccurate & late data = Wrong decisions or No decisions
30-50% machine capacity utilization is common in manufacturing shop floors. This is because the traditional machine monitoring system is dependent on a chain of humans with data recorded on paper and transferred to computers once a shift. Decision makers get the data after 24 to 48 hours. The data is not accurate, and arrives too late to take action if there are crisis situations.
For decision makers in a firm to be able to take proper decisions, the production monitoring system must give them accurate and timely (as in instantaneous) data from machines. Only a machine monitoring system based on Industry 4.0 can do this-Hence Leanworx. A manufacturing monitoring system for SMEs that not only makes sense, but is an absolute necessity to run profitably.
Leanworx: Where accurate, real-time data meets decisive action.
Have we succeeded?
We think YES, BRILLIANTLY.
Leamwork improves profits dramatically, in just weeks. By giving accurate data from machines, in seconds.
The benefit to cost ratio varies from 5 to 20, depending on the cost of the machine
Our smallest customer has 7 machines. Our largest customers are India’s top manufacturers of automobile parts, aerospace parts, purtips, springs, etc.
These are the benefits they have seen.

We’ve seen a lot of OEE improvements because now we can understand the parts, the spindle runtime, how effectively we are. It’s actually helped us to move from three shifts down to two shifts with more output. So we’ve taken from about 30% spindle utilization to now over 55% spindle utilization. It’s allowed us to put a bonus structure in place which is monitorable.
We’ve been extremely happy with the way that they’ve worked, which is coming from the way that the utilization of the machines has improved. Our downtime has decreased by 10%. The downtime, especially in the night shift, has reduced by more than 25%, which is a very, very important thing for us and is contributing a lot towards our productivity. So I would definitely recommend leanworks to others who are doing CNC machining like we are. We are spread over four plants, but can control them all from our office, looking at the data, getting information real time, getting updates and reports every day.

So overall, I see at least eight to 10% of efficiency improvement with this, especially OEE and the spindle run. Spindle run is effective utilization of spindle run. There are a lot of idle times that was there. Setup time was reduced. We can see there is an improvement of at least ten to 12% of production improvements. Just you put a monitoring. Then the discipline came into picture. Further details has come out and identified the root causes. And then we improve the efficiencies. That’s how we have implemented, thanks to Leanworx.
Leanworxs we have been able to bring down our machine downtime by about 30% and the increase in OEE by 10% which ten to 15%, which is a huge saving. Now we plan to connect all the 24 machines we have through leanworxs and have a comprehensive data on that. We have been getting fantastic results out of it. The reports that we generate every morning gives us a good insight on the productivity and the performance of the operator as well as the machine. I recommend it highly to all the manufacturers who have CNC setups or any machines that can be fitted with this.

The quality of data, accuracy of data, timeliness of the data is very, very important. That’s how Leanworxs is helping implementing leanworxs we are no longer discussing the quality of data accuracy of data. Discussion revolves around what can be done to improve the productivity. Looking at the benefit of utilizing and improving the equipment due utilization, the incremental cost. What we incur by paying the subscription is very small and it’s a good value proposition from our point of view.

The good thing about it is we have a big monitoring system on the shop floor with all of the data being captured, so we can catch it every 2 or 3 minutes. Then leanworx itself sends an email out after each first shift, which is determined by the user. And then you can review that with the management team. You can present that in terms of what's running good, what's running bad, what needs improvement, and then you can look, you can take a deep dive on the steps - why it's not working well at the moment. With leanworx, we've kind of tailored a dashboard just to give us the information which we require. So we're monitoring spindle utilization. We have been using leanworx for about three months now, and we've seen significant improvements in terms of our cycle time, our understanding of the spindle utilization. We've seen a lot of OEE improvements because now we can understand the parts, the spindle runtime, how effectively we are running. It's actually helped us to move from 3 shifts down to 2 shifts with more output. So we've moved from about 30% spindle utilization to now over 55% spindle utilization. It's allowed us to put a bonus structure in place which is monitorable.

We were satisfied with the results, the part count accuracy. So we installed it on 100 machines. We installed leanworx on all kinds of machines like CNC turning centers, VMC, grinding machines, honing machines, leak testing machines. And we were very happy with the ease of connecting leanworx. It takes hardly 10 minutes for a person to connect to the machine. I can tell you that we are able to reduce the downtime, we are able to improve the productivity. The middle level supervisors and managers are also satisfied with the exact data that they are getting from the leanworx system. The reports are also quite user friendly.

Like earlier, what we used to assume is, we used to trust our operators for any data which is not in line with my actual calculations. The big gap, which we have been cleared off now. So I get a real data right from the machine. So the efficiency point of view earlier, like OEE, we used to say customer, when customer asks, what is your OEE? We say 85%. Are we really at 85%? I don't think so. We know in reality, with the downtime, what we have undocumented downtimes or any other material waiting period. These are all not documented. So this can never. When our one end example, what we saw was it was not crossing beyond 56%, whereas we have been declaring, so the gap is too big. So that got now, after installing this particular IoT, getting into the IoT that materialized into actual usable time, We are pretty close to actual of 85%. In fact, it's 88 when we finally checked the last time. So that's a substantial advantage. What we get or benefit what we get through IoT.
