Real-Time Production Monitoring System

XL is the simplest and fastest way to monitor and improve production

XL is a standalone device that includes I/O to communicate with your process, a scoreboard for your operators, and built-in reporting for your managers. XL seamlessly scales from machine to enterprise.

XL works on any discrete manufacturing process. That’s one of the reasons it’s used on 35,000+ installations in 45+ countries. Additional benefits of XL real-time production monitoring include:

  • No software to install
  • No servers to maintain
  • No recurring fees
  • No contracts
  • Unlimited users
  • Free 90-day trial
  • Free technical support
  • Free software updates
Our CEO personally came in and saw how big of an impact XL had made. He was amazed at the gains it provided compared to the cost. We were considering a trial of another system – but the cost of the trial exceeded the cost of outfitting our entire plant with XL!

Is XL Production Monitoring right for you?

Here is a quick test of whether XL is right for you.

  • Are you tracking production with spreadsheets?
  • Do you lack accurate or actionable data?
  • Do you have a system, but it’s too hard to use?

XL eliminates manual data capture. Spend your time interpreting data, not tracking it.

XL measures with millisecond precision, removing human bias. Fair warning, you may be shocked to discover your true downtime and the amount of time lost to slow cycles and small stops.

XL creates a “data democracy,” where information and reporting is accessible to everyone. We are amazed by how many XL customers have MES or SCADA systems, but cannot get the information they need.

Vorne OEE Monitoring Report

After three days, our team was producing at 115% of plan and set a new production record. At the end of the shift our plant floor team broke into applause! That’s why every line is getting an XL.

The most important feature of XL is easy. We call it XL Easy.

  • Easy to Buy: There is zero risk since we recommend that ALL new users start with a free 90-day trial.
  • Easy to Install: You can be literally up and running in hours (as shown above).

XL is exactly what we were looking for! The best thing about it is that it was so easy to install. Add the fact that we didn’t have to deal with software to see our real-time data and XL is a real winner.

Your data. Your way.

Immediately leverage the data XL collects with built-in reports like OEE, Downtime, TEEP, Changeover, Top Losses, and Total Production Timeline. Even better – create custom dashboards, reports, and export files to organize exactly the information you want in exactly the way you want to see it. With over 100 metrics and more than 20 dimensions available in real-time and historically – you have a wealth of actionable information to mine. And your data is not locked in a silo – you can export it to Microsoft Excel with a single click.

Instant alerts. Emailed reports. Automated updates.

XL Enterprise™ is the cloud component of Vorne’s Industrial IoT platform for manufacturing. It receives real-time production monitoring information from your XL Productivity Appliances™ to automatically:

  • Send email and text message alerts based on real-time production metrics.
  • Send alerts when your process stops, runs slow, nears the end of a changeover, has an OEE score below expectations, etc.
  • Escalate issues from line-level personnel to your senior leadership team.
  • Eliminate manual shift reporting with emailed shift reports.
  • Update XL with new features as we release them.

Unlike most cloud applications for manufacturing, XL Enterprise™ is entirely optional, and many of its services are free. We completely understand that most companies don’t want to be locked into costly subscription-based services.

Drive improvement. At every level.

Operational. Tactical. Strategic.

XL provides you with a single source of production data. Detailed. Accurate. Timely. Precise. One data foundation to drive change across all roles and responsibilities.

  • Operators focus on what they can improve in the next few hours. Get the line to speed. Quickly react to down events. Meet the changeover target.
  • Supervisors focus on driving improvement across days or weeks. Analyze a problematic part. Set shift targets. Use data to be proactive – not reactive.
  • Leadership focuses on change that spans months or longer. Launch a project. Set goals. Compare investment to results.

With XL – your data aligns your team. Naturally. Everyone works from the same set of information towards the same set of goals.

Levels of Planning Time
After we installed and deployed the Vorne XL800 Productivity Appliances we analyzed the data, and started understanding our underlying issues. We benchmarked our primary line and recorded an OEE Score of 45%. The XL800 gave us the tools to track and eliminate our downtime, and improve our productivity. 10 weeks later we are hitting 60% OEE and still making improvements.

This shift. Empower operators.

Operational

Your operators need answers to two simple questions:

  • What do we need to make this shift?
  • Are we on target?

The XL scoreboard answers these questions in real-time. If Efficiency is 100% or better – your operators are on track to “win the shift”. We see time and time again that keeping things simple achieves better results. So keep it simple. Use the built-in scoreboard configuration or select from 100+ included metrics.

The scoreboard drives the first wave of productivity improvement with XL.

Vorne XL800 Display
When we installed Vorne displays…the target rate for one of the lines was inadvertently set higher than was planned. A few hours later when the plant manager glanced at the display, he was amazed to see…the line was running at 127% of plan simply because the goal was there!

This week. Improve daily meetings.

Tactical

How do world-class manufacturing companies ensure their production meetings are effective? By basing them on accurate, actionable, up-to-date data.

  • Are you relying on manually collected, inaccurate, or out-of-date data?
  • Are decisions based on opinions – or data?

With XL you are just a click away from more effective daily meetings. Start with one of our built-in reports or create your own dashboard report.

Improved production meetings drives the second wave of productivity improvement with XL.

Daily Production Report Image
Nobody offers us the “bang for the buck” that we’re seeing with our Vorne XL800 systems. I’m a big fan of the Advanced Analytics! With a few mouse clicks I can analyze historical data from each of my assemblies. I’m also using Advanced Analytics to plot charts for the shifts to see how they stack up against each other.

This month. Attack the right loss.

Strategic

Most companies try to accomplish too much and end up achieving too little. Why? They focus on the wrong things.

  • Do you know your top 10 losses?
  • Which are improving?
  • Which are getting worse?

The XL Top Losses report ranks every loss in terms of time. Every down reason. Slow cycles. Small stops. Startup rejects. Production rejects. Changeovers. All ranked by impact and presented in one page. With trend information that instantly shows you where you are improving and where things are getting worse. Banish assumptions. Allocate resources where you will see the biggest improvement for the least effort.

Top losses and other analytics drive the third wave of improvements with XL.

Top Losses Report On A Laptop
When I joined my last plant our OEE was 30%. Each month we picked a focus metric from the XL800 and trained the team on that metric. I show everyone how it affects the line and then we work together to drive up the number. We steadily improved, and when I left the plant our OEE was 74%!

Two years ago we brought in XL as part of our lean program. We wanted to measure and improve efficiency on seven lines. Over this time we have increased our OEE by an average of 20 points and our downtime is down to 20%.
