Downtime tracking

Every stop found, and the reason behind it

Kealink spots every stop from the machine's own run signal, so nothing depends on someone remembering to write it down. The operator says why, and you see where the shift's time went.

A day view for one shift on a bagging line: downtime 1h 53m, availability 79.1%, a timeline of runs, stops and short stops with the product made, and where the time went
One shift on the simulated bagging line.

Stops found automatically

A stop starts when the run signal goes off and ends when it comes back on. Kealink only reports what it saw: if the readings stopped arriving, that is shown as no data, not as a stop that lasted until the connection came back.

  • Blips shorter than a time you choose, say 30 seconds, are ignored.
  • Stops up to a few minutes are coded Short stop on their own.
  • Longer stops wait for a person to say what happened.

Reasons from the people at the machine

Each machine can have its own screen, opened from a private link on a tablet or phone kept at the machine, with no sign in. The operator picks a reason for a stop from your list and can record scrap. Managers can do the same from the machine page or the day view.

Mark reasons such as Changeover or Cleaning as planned, and they are kept out of availability.

Where the time went

For any shift or date: time running, short stops, each reason with its total time and number of stops, and what is still uncoded. The biggest losses are at the top, which is usually where the fix is.

Data you can take away

Download the stops, or every reading for any range of dates, as a spreadsheet that opens straight in Excel. Scheduled reports can arrive by email as a PDF.

See it live

Two demo sites with simulated machines, running right now. No sign in, nothing to install.

The readings are simulated, but everything you see is the real Kealink portal, updating as the machines run.
