The manual way requires recording times, counts and operations (run time, idle time, setup etc) on job or daily work sheets, which are compiled at the end of each shift or day. The competitors so called real-time systems require leaving the work center, to enter counts, start time, stop time and other operation codes on a remote terminal or PC. The information is real-time, only when the entries are made. All three methods are subject to considerable error, management has to wait for reports, and they are time consuming for the employees.

Go beyond real-time and monitor your equipment with ARDaC Live. ARDaC Live is a system that provides up to the second production data for viewing and reports. It tracks run time, idle time and piece counts (and other items) at the work center, where it should. The employee's can focus on work, and management has access to up-to-the-second error free production data and reports. You can view the data on a PC live as though you were on the shop floor. Put all of you’re production areas on one system. Don’t be tied to one manufactures system, when you can manage a mix of equipment from different manufactures with the ARDaC System.
