What is your production data telling you?

MIO, included in GI4, helps you analyse downtime, quality and energy use. Its dashboards follow your lines and connect settings with results.

Let's talk about your plant

The problem

“The speed dropped to zero: is it a fault?”

Compare settings, measurements and operating steps

One chart shows set values, measured values and the machine’s operating step. See what was happening at the same moment.

In a real case, ventilation dropped to zero while material was being discharged. Read alongside the operating step, the drop was expected behaviour, rather than a fault.

The problem

“How are the lines doing right now?”

Check your lines on one page

The home page shows your plant’s lines, machines, states and production. Open the detail you need from there.

We start with standard dashboards and add views for the needs of your machines.

The problem

“We have 11,594 rejects: where do they come from?”

Find the tests producing the most rejects

The chart separates good and rejected parts for each test. In a real case, one test accounted for 8,287 of 11,594 rejects: about 71%.

Tests with no results are visible too. Someone who knows the machine can check whether they are deliberately excluded or need attention.

The problem

“I need the data for every piece, in Excel.”

Export measurements for every part

On machines that collect data each cycle, you get one row per part: result, measurements, limits, tolerances and any test override.

Export the table as CSV and open it in Excel. Test charts show measurements and limits over time, with a shared pointer for comparison.

The problem

“How much does this production run consume?”

Compare consumption with production

Where measurements are available, GI4 records power in kW and energy in kWh, by machine, cycle and period. It can also collect water, air and chemical consumption.

Compare data before and after a change or between recipes. Check, for example, how much water is used per kilogram produced and whether a new rinse reduces consumption.

The problem

“And who maintains these dashboards in five years’ time?”

Dashboards built on Grafana

MIO uses Grafana, with dashboards developed by GEM for your plant. Your company can learn to modify and extend them.

Alongside GI4 data, you can connect other compatible company sources. Active alarms and statistics by code and period are also available.
