How to Reduce Downtime in Manufacturing
Most downtime reduction efforts start and stop at the machine level: fix the bearing, update the PM schedule, add a sensor. That is necessary work, but it only addresses part of the problem. The other part lives in the production system itself: a scheduling decision that starves a bottleneck station, a changeover sequence that no one has optimised in three years, a quality hold that stops a line for an hour because there is no process for fast disposition. These losses do not show up as equipme

Best Production Planning and Control Tools
Production plans are only as good as the data behind them. Most manufacturers have the scheduling tools. What they lack is reliable, real-time information about what is actually happening on the floor. This guide covers the main categories of production planning and control tools, what each does well, where each falls short, and what to look for when evaluating your options. It also covers the data problem that quietly undermines most PPC stacks, and how Tractian's Sensor + Software solution ad

Which Assets Can Tractian Monitor?
Unfortunately, it’s normal for maintenance to be remembered only in times of crisis. Teams will often implement reactive maintenance strategies when they should be using predictive or preventive maintenance, which results in increased costs. This only hinders maintainers, delaying the company’s innovation and efficiency. With massive amounts of assets to monitor it can be difficult for maintenance teams to stay on top of things, especially with the spreadsheets most managers still use. Tractian
