Capturing and analyzing downtime on a manufacturing production line can be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to inaccurate data and recurring inefficiencies. Arch Systems’ Automated Downtime Labeling changes that. By automating the process, Arch eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and delivers actionable insights to help manufacturers optimize operations and minimize disruptions.
The Downtime Dilemma
Traditional downtime labeling methods on shop floors often involve:
- Manual recording by operators—prone to inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
- Time-consuming data entry—relying on spreadsheets or systems, wasting valuable time and resources.
Because these methods depend on manual inputs, they often produce incomplete or inaccurate data, making it difficult to identify root causes and implement effective solutions. As a result, manufacturers face recurring problems, extended downtime, and lost productivity—costing an estimated $50 billion annually, according to Forbes.
Revolutionize your downtime tracking with Automated Downtime Labeling
Arch Systems’ Automated Downtime Labeling, powered by Arch AI, leverages artificial intelligence to automatically capture and analyze downtime events, combining machine data (“Voice of the Process”) and human input (“Voice of the Operator”) for unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.
Here’s how Arch AI automates the process:
- Capture: The system automatically captures detailed machine data and analytics related to the downtime event, including error codes, sensor readings, and timestamps.
- Context: Operators provide real-time context through voice comments or text input, capturing valuable insights and observations that may not be evident from machine data alone.
- Analyze: An AI agent analyzes the combined information to determine the most likely root cause and automatically classifies the downtime event with minimal operator intervention.
Benefits of Automated Downtime Labeling
- Reduced Manual Effort: Operators spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on value-added activities.
- Improved Accuracy: Automated classification reduces errors and provides more reliable data for analysis.
- Faster Resolution: Quick and accurate identification of downtime causes leads to faster resolution and minimized production losses.
- Data-Driven Insights: Detailed downtime data enables root cause analysis, identification of trends, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Increased Productivity: Minimized downtime and optimized processes lead to increased overall productivity.
