    INTEGRATIONS Talk About A Prompt Payback The ROI On SQUEAKS Just Keeps Growing It Pays For Itself Time And Time Again When you integrate SQUEAKS into your production process, the return on your investment is almost immediate. In most cases, SQUEAKS can potentially pay for itself in a matter of minutes, not hours or days. Where time is money, and when lost productivity can be measured in thousands of dollars per hour, your biggest return comes by way of a reduction in machine downtime and worker delays. Every minute your line sits idle is costing you money. Not just in diminished output, but in product quality, worker safety, and company overhead. While your workers stand by waiting for issues to be resolved somewhere along the line, the aggregate cost per hour, per employee, multiplied by the hourly wages of those workers, can really add up. SQUEAKS saves you money by saving you time.

    100% Traceability 0% Defects ASSIST Industry 4.0 Software IGear’s ASSIST Industry 4.0 Software helps ensure zero defects in your manufacturing process by employing smart technology to detect errors and prevent defective products from leaving the plant. It’s a highly configurable and flexible process-control and traceability platform that provides a proven method for controlling the quality and performance of production processes. ASSIST affords you the ability to verify that standardized operator or machine work instructions are consistently executed by recording a traceable genealogy of all work sequences, component parts, and cycle times, along with the operator actions and machine events involved within each value-added work center in the overall manufacturing process. ASSIST also provides capabilities to error proof each work center process by interlocking part production to ensure potential quality defects are quickly identified and addressed at the point at which they occur. This permission-to-run acknowledgement between ASSIST and each machine control system ensures that the correct part type is being run, the part being run has not skipped any prior operations, and the part being run was not previously rejected as a bad product. Through integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, ASSIST automates the broadcast of production schedules, bill-of-material information, and part/recipe specifications to the factory floor while also providing real-time inventory status information back to the ERP system. Read about one of ASSIST's compelling Success Stories with JTEKT Corporation 1/5 An Impressive Portfolio Of Capabilities delivers a full cache of enhanced capabilities to your existing manufacturing process, including: Traceability Error Proofing Manufacturing Intelligence ERP Integration Lineside Labeling Operator Assistance Testimonials IGear software essentially runs our entire manufacturing process. We use the ASSIST™ platform to not only record critical process data from nearly every machine in our plant, but to also provide process control and management of nonconforming parts. Viewing production, downtime, detailed part history, and trended data is also an important aspect of the solution. Finally, IGear’s SQUEAKS® IoT platform allows for visualization of the data on mobile devices and production displays. Due to the success of the system, IGear has now become the Advanced Traceability standard for all of JTEKT North America.

  • SQUEAKS Mobile Andon | igear

    SQUEAKS Mobile Andon ™ Digitally Transform Your ANDON Stations Traditional Andon stations communicate calls for assistance (to request a supervisor, parts, maintenance, product-quality check or safety concern). ​ Unfortunately, today’s Andon systems (stack lights, push buttons) are open-loop and convey limited amounts of information. Responders need to be in proximity of the stack light to see the request. These systems can be noisy and distracting. ​ SQUEAKS Mobile Andon™ software transforms the way traditional Andon systems are being utilized – allowing workers to be more mobile and connected. SQUEAKS extends visibility and shortens response times with a more quiet, more direct, and more personalized communication platform. With SQUEAKS Mobile Andon, users can share personalized and targeted information to specified groups. This multi-media mobile platform allows users to also share files, videos, photos, charts, and metrics that allow for rich and efficient communication. ​ SQUEAKS improves employee productivity by enabling better communication, which reduces downtime in your plant, increasing efficiency as a result.

Downtime events are created either explicitly (by faults from the machine control system) or implicitly (once a part has not been made after a configurable percentage threshold over ideal cycle time. The user simply clicks on the pencil for a given row, selects the pre-configured Root Cause and then optionally enters a comment. Once the classification is complete, the downtime event will disappear from the Downtime Root Cause Assignment plugin. ​ Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost These individual plug-ins have both a summary and detail component. The summary simply shows the current month icon with each day color coded based on the events that happened on a given day. The color coding, classifications and priority of the various events are configurable as well as the icons that are used. The detail section shows a tab for each of the last 12 months. Clicking on the various tabs will show the monthly overview icon and all the events for the given month. Clicking on an event will show the details of the event and media that was uploaded with the event. The plugin allows for the secure adding, editing, and deleting of new events. ​ Production, Cycle Time, OEE, Downtime, SQUEAKS Messages Historical Reports These historical reporting plug-ins are chart views with interactive criteria allowing each user to customize their date range and data rollup.
