Line monitoring: output, downtime and consumption
Output, downtime and consumption on one timeline, so you can see what a part really costs and which stage is holding up the rest.
Illustrative figures.
What NeMo reads
The quantities that matter
The MES knows the output, the bill knows the consumption, the shift leader knows the stoppages. Three separate accounts, and none of them says what yesterday’s part cost in energy.
Parts and rejects
Per machine and per shift: without the count there is no specific consumption at all.
Machine downtime
Reason and duration read from the PLC, not written down at the end of a shift from memory.
Draw per machine
The individual machine rather than the department board, which is where the number stops being actionable.
Line vectors
Compressed air and thermal vectors the line draws, often dearer than the electricity.
Cycle time
Actual against nominal, where the stage slowing the others becomes visible.
How it connects
It speaks your field’s language
Meters, analysers, controllers and probes: the node connects to what is already installed, over the protocol it already speaks. Nothing in the field is replaced to get started.
Powered on and already talking — self-configuring in the fieldWhat comes out
From the reading to the decision
Consumption per part
Per machine and per recipe, the only way to compare shifts running different loads.
Availability and yield
Computed from real downtime data, not from what gets declared at month end.
The bottleneck
The stage constraining the others, read from measured cycle times rather than from perception.
Downtime history
Exportable for root-cause analysis, with reason and duration already attached.
Consumption per part doubles as an energy performance indicator for a management system: one measurement, two purposes.

A 30-minute technical call to go through what you already measure, what you do not, and what it would take to close the gap.
