Pulsar is an advanced platform for real-time machine monitoring and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) that connects to the cloud, providing manufacturers with comprehensive insights into their shop-floor activities, production efficiency, and machinery status. This system enables users to identify problems, reduce downtime, and enhance productivity without the need for manual tracking or spreadsheets. It incorporates industrial IoT sensors and hardware that seamlessly link to any machine, regardless of its type, age, or model, without requiring modifications to PLCs. The data collected, including availability, performance, speed, cycle counts, causes of downtime, and production output, is then visualized on user-friendly dashboards that can be accessed from various devices. Pulsar’s software continuously monitors essential manufacturing KPIs, such as OEE, utilization, throughput, and quality, while offering sophisticated real-time analytics and historical reports. Additionally, it features customizable alerts that can be sent via SMS, email, or displayed on TV dashboards, along with a digital Andon system that empowers teams to quickly identify and address production challenges as they arise, thereby fostering a more responsive manufacturing environment. By leveraging this technology, manufacturers can not only optimize their processes but also create a proactive culture of continuous improvement.
