What is Gears?

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory operates much like a conventional manufacturing plant, yet its emphasis is on digital resources instead of physical goods. In establishing this factory, your organization curates an extensive "superset" supply chain comprising digital assets that are available for use across a broad spectrum of products. These digital assets encompass every feature option in the product portfolio. Each product's chosen features are specified in the Bill-of-Features, after which a product asset instance is created with the help of the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, powered by Gears, evolves into an automated system that efficiently assembles and configures the shared digital assets based on the selected features for each variant, all with the simple press of a button. By leveraging BigLever’s Gears, your organization gains access to a cohesive set of PLE principles and frameworks, enhancing the effectiveness of your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering workflows throughout the complete product lifecycle. This seamless integration not only boosts operational efficiency but also encourages greater innovation in product development, paving the way for a more agile and responsive market approach.

What is FactoryTalk Metrics?

FactoryTalk® Metrics is an all-encompassing tool designed for tracking efficiency, gathering data, and assessing the performance of manufacturing equipment. It allows businesses to gain critical insights into how their machinery is functioning, presenting avenues for production improvement, cost reduction, and quality enhancement. By generating accurate reports on real-time activities on the shop floor, this software empowers manufacturers to maximize the use of their resources and workforce. While it monitors Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), FactoryTalk Metrics goes beyond simple data reporting, allowing for in-depth investigations to identify the underlying causes of downtime and inefficiencies, thereby driving significant improvements in operational effectiveness. Many manufacturers invest heavily in their machinery, yet they often struggle with issues such as a lack of visibility into performance indicators, unexpected downtime events, and losses due to subpar production quality. This obscurity can severely limit their capacity to effectively enhance OEE and meet their operational objectives. With the actionable insights provided by FactoryTalk Metrics, organizations can finally attain the clarity necessary to foster substantial performance advancements and optimize their manufacturing processes for success.
