GI4 ·MIO ·PRODUCTION UNDER CONTROL ·DATA KEPT IN-HOUSE

Understand your production. Know where to act.

GI4 connects your machines and collects production data.
Downtime, recipes, batches and energy use: all in one system.

Let's talk about your plant

The problems it solves

From downtime to recipes: start with the problem you want to solve.

Batches and traceability

Start a production run from a previous batch

When creating a batch, you can select a source batch to duplicate. GI4 copies the recipes and versions used on each machine. You can then adjust the new batch to suit your needs before starting it.

MIO: dashboards and analysis

Explore downtime, rejects and energy use

MIO, included in GI4, lets you compare settings and measurements over time. Analyse rejects by test and energy use by machine.

A real case

OEE at 66%. Almost 15 hours waiting for material.

A three-day batch on a dryer. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) was 66.2%. The recorded times show where time was lost.

  • 100%Quality

Where the time went

  • Producing18:20:56
  • Paused, no material14:57:57
  • Stopped by a fault0:32:13

The machine ran 20% faster than target, with no rejects. Faults accounted for around half an hour; waiting for material took almost 15 hours. The priority was the material supply to the line.

How GI4 is built

GI4 collects and stores data in-house. Manage production in the GI4 app and analyse results in MIO. Access both through your browser.

Connecting machines and systems

Working with GI4

  1. Keep using the machine panel

    GI4 works alongside the controls your operators already know.

  2. Keep a record of machine trials

    When you change a value on the panel, GI4 records the difference without automatically correcting it.

  3. Trace every change

    See which parameter changed, who changed it and which batch was running.

  4. Choose the parameters to watch

    The shop floor decides which values matter most for its work.

  5. Decide when to send a recipe

    Saving does not change machine values. Sending requires an explicit command and a stopped machine.

  6. Configure data collection

    A file defines the lines, machines and data to collect.

  7. Buy once, with no subscription

    Your data stays in-house. No per-user or per-device licences.

  8. Build a history you can use

    GI4 records from day one. Over time, you have more batches, measurements and changes to compare.
