YOUR NEW GENERATION
ZOOMFAB^® brings into focus important indicators which affect your business the most - achieving budgeted machine utilization and understanding the actual hourly rates and profitability of your manufacturing operations.

ZOOMFAB^® is not only comprehensive IIoT platform that uses automated machine data collection but it does advanced analytics to provide manufacturing business with critical operational and strategic facts.

WHY ZOOMFAB^®?

TRUE INDUSTRY 4.0 APPLICATION FOR EVERYONE

In the never ending pursuit of understanding machine utilization and work centre productivity, manufacturers traditionally resort to analysis of shop floor data collected against individual jobs. Unfortunately, trying to understand the manufacturing business performance through the myriad of individual jobs affected by distorted shop floor data, is an impossible task. Further, collected data has to be transferred to a MRP/ERP system, for processing and analysis, often resulting in confusing and outdated output not suitable for pro-active management.

ZOOMFAB^® has identified more effective ways of helping business owners and managers to understand their business. Using company budget and estimated work centre utilization, ZOOMFAB^® monitors and evaluates if planned values have been achieved, providing clear, unambiguous and comprehensive information.

(Mobile, Tablet, Laptop, PC)

ZOOMFAB^® 4 TOOLS IN ONE

PRO-ACTIVE MANAGEMENT TOOL

ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ provides real-time information about machine and work centre utilization which is supported by powerful analytics. With operational facts available in real-time, ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ empowers managers to take a pro-active approach in eliminating problems before they appear and potentially become a source of confrontation or crisis. A pro-active approach is also the best technique for continuous business improvement resulting in better organization, improved machine utilization, resource savings and substantially increased profit.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE TOOL

With ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ, users can see in real-time machine and work centre generated revenue and profit. In addition, ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ accurately calculates operations hourly rates and compares budgeted and actual results, showing the user well in advance, where money is made or lost. This unique tool is initially very confronting as it often crashes opinions and replaces them with hard facts, but it is one of the most valued features of ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ.

STRATEGY TOOL

ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ has advanced analytical and modelling capabilities making it a unique strategic tool. The user can evaluate the effects when changing working hours, improve machine utilization, remove or introduce new machinery. This information is instrumental when making the right decisions about reducing or increasing working shifts, timing the investment or purchasing the right equipment.

ASSET MANAGEMENT TOOL

For company owners, plant and equipment often represent their biggest investment. ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ Asset Module is a comprehensive management tool for storing and maintaining information about company assets, their acquisition, finance, insurance, warranty and maintenance. Written notes, attaching documents, files and images to each record is easy. Asset Module also monitors warranty periods and supports scheduled maintenance and calibration.

MONITORING TECHNOLOGY

ZOOMFAB® monitors machines of any type or brand.

It uses easy to install, non-invasive sensors to monitor machine operation, energy requirements and other important parameters. Installation of sensors is simple and without the need to collect data from machine controllers, making them safe from computer viruses. Most importantly, there is no need for operators to enter the data.

ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ sensors and gateways are pre-configured in ZOOMFAB^Ⓡ ‘s technology centre prior to shipment, which means the installation at the customer’s site is straight forward, without the need for on-site configuration and interruption to machine operation. The expected battery life of sensors ranges between 5 to 8 years and replacing batteries is straight forward followed by automated reconnection.

Sensors and gateways communicate on low special radio frequency using 128bit encryption, making sure the security of your network is not compromised.
