What is Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC)?

SFDC is the process of capturing data directly from the manufacturing floor, including inputs like

Machine status (running, idle, downtime)

Real-time monitoring of machines helps identify their operational state whether they are actively running, temporarily idle due to short stops, or in downtime due to maintenance or faults. This data supports preventive maintenance and maximizes machine utilization.

Just give us a call whenever you need expert IT advice or solutions and we'll put you through to one of our trained technicians in no time.

Production counts (good units, rejects) 

Tracks the number of products manufactured, distinguishing between acceptable (good) units and defective (rejects or scrap). This helps measure productivity, yield, and quality performance for continuous improvement.

Accurate production counts are essential for inventory control, order fulfillment, and real-time performance monitoring.

Operator performance

Captures individual operator data such as units produced, machine handling efficiency, and shift attendance. This allows performance tracking, training needs assessment, and fair incentive calculation. 

It also helps identify top performers and those who may require additional supervision or support.

Consistent monitoring promotes accountability and encourages a culture of continuous improvement on the shop floor.

Shift logs and work order tracking

Records which work orders were processed during specific shifts, including start/end times, quantities produced, and any issues encountered. This enables traceability and helps ensure job scheduling adherence.

Downtime reasons and durations 

Logs the cause and duration of machine downtimes (e.g., mechanical failure, tool change, material shortage). This data helps in root cause analysis and identifying recurring issues that need corrective action.

Save time

Our dedicated team of experts will help you to streamline and automate your IT processes, allowing your workforce to become more efficient. We'll also proactively ensure your business is running smoothly from an IT perspective, so that's one less thing for your internal team to worry about.
