Factory Apps

Web Software for Production Managers & Plant Engineer

Track Production Efficiency Without Expensive Hardware

Monitor lines, spot bottlenecks, and improve throughput with simple web-based tracking—no sensors or hardware.

Key Benefits:

  • Calculate OEE and efficiency metrics automatically
  • Identify bottlenecks in real-time
  • Generate production reports in minutes, not hours
  • Works with manual data entry – no hardware needed

Dashboard

We’re exploring a web-based production tracking system that would allow teams to log production data manually, calculate efficiency metrics automatically, identify bottlenecks, and generate actionable reports—all without requiring physical sensors or expensive hardware.

The old way vs The Factory Apps Way

The problem: Manual Tracking

Paper-based logs, delayed reporting, and invisible bottlenecks slowing down production. Inaccurate data leads to costly downtime and missed targets.

  • No visibility into which production lines are underperforming
  • Can’t identify bottlenecks in real-time
  • Difficult to calculate key metrics like OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
  • No systematic way to track throughput and efficiency trends
  • Manual data entry is time-consuming and error-prone
  • Hard to make data-driven decisions about production optimization

The Solution: Automated Insights

Instant visibility, digital data entry, and real-time efficiency tracking for every workstation. Actionable intelligence that identifies bottlenecks before they stop production.

A web-based production tracker where teams log production data manually. The system calculates OEE and efficiency metrics, highlights bottlenecks, and generates reports—no sensors or expensive hardware. Accessible to any manufacturer who can’t invest in IoT.
