And this is when MachineLOG IT comes to your help. Tracking all the information related to production, service operations, machines and tools, the system serves as a knowledge base. It also contains electronic manuals that facilitate machine operation.

Efficient know-how sharing among company members as well as among different companies is one of the main benefits of MachineLOG IT.

How MachineLOG IT Became a Useful Production Assistant at BALZI’s 

At BALZI’s they were often witnessing the scenario described above. Every now and then their products were lying idle at customer companies because experienced operators had left the company and a trainer had to be called in to introduce new employees into the job.

Now that the customer companies are using MachineLOG IT along with its shared knowledge base, no outside trainers are needed. The system’s database contains full information for every machine and tool, including clearly structured step-by-step manuals. The companies save great amounts of time and they can enjoy the potential of BALZI’s products to the full.  

MachineLOG IT: More than Know-How Sharing

• Containing important data that can prolong the lifetime of machines and tools, the system also contributes to accident prevention.

What Problems Can MLIT Manuals Help Your With?

MachineLOG IT allows for easy creation, updating and translation of manuals that are then made accessible for all production chain members, anytime and from anywhere. It can also help you with the following:

• Training of new service technicians; with the aid of manuals the training will take a shorter time. None of your time will be wasted on deciphering illegible drawings or asking for help from a grumpy leaving employee who “has it all in his head”.
• Sharing of information among all production chain members facilitates the process of machine transfer. With reliable manuals at hand, you and your employees will be able to operate a new machine in virtually no time.   
• The system features a user-friendly yet well-protected interface for translators to facilitate translation of manuals into your mother language. 

What Manuals in MachineLOG IT Look Like

Electronic manuals can be navigated far more easily than print manuals. In addition to easy searching they allow for the incorporation of links to additional sources of information. They can also be broken into smaller, easily digestible units.

Print manuals, by contrast, can hardly be divided in this way, not to mention the inability to share them. Therefore, it is necessary to convert the existing print manuals into an electronic form. As the database of already solved problems grows, step-by-step manuals can be added.   

Step-by-step manuals significantly shorten the whole service procedure. Technical support is only needed when a defect cannot be corrected using step-by-step manuals. 

With MachineLOG IT, updated information will be available to all participants in the production process. 

You Always Have Updated Information

Print manuals and scans embedded in locked PDF files are difficult to be updated. However, technologies evolve and service procedures get optimized, too. Why would anyone want to waste their time on outdated procedures?

MachineLOG IT provides its users with an always updated support system because revision of electronic manuals is very easy. Thus, all production chain members that have access to the system’s interface will always get relevant and up-to-date information. Also, all manuals in the system can be made available for translation into the technicians’ mother tongue by creating a translator account.

MachineLOG IT: Way More than Updated Manuals

In addition to the above, our MachineLOG IT has many more benefits for your company. It will help you with record keeping and spare part ordering and, most importantly, it will make your production process more efficient and faster while saving your money.

We all know them and drink from them on many occasions. Returnable Nicknack cups are a phenomenon of Czech music festivals as well as other events. However, their production is no easy task. They are produced by a technology known as injection moulding using various machines, tools and devices. The plastic material is heated above its melting point and forced into a closed mold defining the shape of the product. When the plastic material has cooled, it can be extracted from the mold. But that’s just a beginning of the cup’s long journey to festival stands.

Resource-efficient production requires fast and accurate communication among all production chain members, who need to discuss possible issues (repairs etc.). The technical equipment needed includes a press (injection molding machine), mold (also referred to as a tool) and various accessories. Smooth functioning of the whole system is ensured by MachineLOG IT. Below you’ll find out how MachineLOG IT can streamline the production process.   

Nicknack cups were amply used by the visitors to the Colours of Ostrava festival

MachineLOG IT Streamlines Communication

MachineLOG IT allows for fast communication among all members of the production chain. During the production of Nicknack cups it ensured easy order placement and production management.

All the involved parties have online access to all production-related data, which eliminates endless e-mail and phone communications. What production stage are you in? How many parts have already been produced? When is the project going to be done? All this information is available in real time and from anywhere in the world. Thus, the main benefits of the use of MachineLOG IT in Nicknack cup production were time savings and streamlining of the production process.

MLIT Keeps You Updated

Thanks to MachineLOG IT, all the participants in the production process are kept updated about all production-related aspects. The system tracks all the relevant information, namely:

• whether the company has enough material in stock for production;
• whether the process conditions meet the necessary requirements; and
• how many parts need to be produced;
• also, it tracks all the stages of the production process (from injection up to printing and packaging).  

MachineLOG IT is a significant work-saver for everyone involved in the production process, from the investor to operators. The investor’s interface provides them with information on the progress of work in the manufacturing company, while machine operators can easily find out more about the part to be produced, including material, colour and the use of films for IML. The MachineLOG IT system stores complete order descriptions.   

MLIT Facilitates Troubleshooting

Even when producing a geometrically simple part such as the returnable Nicknack cup you need to be prepared for the occurrence of problems during production. MachineLOG IT sends just-in-time notifications to all the involved parties.

MachineLOG IT also functions as a highly efficient service system. Service operations are greatly facilitated by a database of machine and tool data and their sharing among technicians. The operators only need to scan the component’s QR code and enter a description of the defect, after which the system searches through a database of already solved issues and presents a proven solution to the problem.

In addition, MachineLOG IT ensures that a record is made of each repair, from the moment of notification until the final output. Easy ordering of spare parts is another advantage of the MachineLOG IT system.

At the End There is the Nicknack Cup

Thanks to MachineLOG IT the visitors to the Colours of Ostrava music festival could drink from elegant plastic cups that could be returned afterwards so that the festival grounds were free from overflowing rubbish bins.

Of course, Nicknack cups are not the only product whose manufacture can benefit from MachineLOG IT. Would you like to know how MachineLOG IT can help your project?
