FASTEC 4 PRO Mobile Client vs MxMeter

FASTEC 4 PRO Mobile Client FASTEC 4 PRO Mobile Client provides an insight into the current production whenever and wherever required – simply by using a smartphone or tablet. In case of interruptions, push notifications within the app will directly inform the users in charge to allow prompt reaction and immediate elimination of down times. The basis for this add-on module is the MES solution FASTEC 4 PRO. Consequently, the real time data that is being monitored in the app on smartphone and tablet takes its information from FASTEC 4 PRO. This way, current data about status, status duration, running order and produced or processed piece counts, e.g. total amounts and reject or good parts, can be called up. Push notifications: In the event of down times, the user will be informed via push notification by the app. Source, time as well as the reason for downtime will be transmitted with optional free text information. Thus, machine operator or production manager will be informed and will be able to intervene at an early stage, even if they are not in the vicinity of the machine. Acknowledgement and logging of alarm messages: In order to track whether and when an alarm message was sent to the responsible user and to draw a conclusion about the downtime reason, FASTEC 4 PRO generates a log file. Furthermore, the user has to acknowledge the receipt of the alarm message right after receiving it. Once the problem has been solved, the alarm message can be closed. In case the user does not respond to the alarm message within a certain period of time, further users will be informed through the escalation management integrated in FASTEC 4 PRO in order to rectify the reason that caused the alarm as soon as possible.

MxMeter by A3J Group, LLC is a mobile application designed to capture meter readings for IBM Maximo Asset Management. Many organizations are required by law to capture certain instrument values at regular intervals against their production equipment. Most of these operator rounds are written on paper and stuffed into file cabinets never to see the light of day again, unless called upon by an audit from an external entity. These instrument readings can be anything from equipment run hours, to pressure readings, temperature readings, flow readings, vibration readings, etc. Maintenance organizations are also becoming wiser about scheduling maintenance events based off the condition or usage of their equipment as opposed to calendar based events. Many of these instrument readings can serve as leading indicators to equipment failure. Trending these values over time can allow for predictive measures to be put in place to optimize maintenance events for critical equipment. Capturing these readings therefore has taken on more importance in many maintenance organizations as they strive to become more efficient. That's where MxMeter comes in. Rather than capturing information on paper and either filing the information away, or transcribing the information into the system on a desktop computer, MxMeter allows users to capture meter readings right at the source. Users can also view past readings and see them displayed in trend charts all while standing in front of the equipment. MxMeter makes finding the equipment easy as well, with barcode scanning capability, integrated Google maps, and enhanced search features. MxMeter makes capturing meter readings easy, which allows organizations to utilize that information in ways they've never been able to before. All on the go, and all using the authorized IBM Maximo API's. Visit http://a3jgroup.com/a3j-labs/ for more information.
