Use of Automation Tracking Systems in Production

In production facilities, every moment, every step, every operation is recorded. In facilities without automation, these records are written down on paper by people. At the end of the day, managers are left with pages of paper and data that they cannot be 100% sure of their accuracy. This is where the use of automation systems comes into play. Production automation systems must be installed in workshop areas and production must be monitored in real terms in order to ensure quality products, to get data that can be assured of its accuracy and to see what is really happening in the facility. Thanks to automation systems, all losses can be revealed and measures taken against losses will increase productivity, performance and quality and reduce costs.


Thanks to Production Tracking Systems, all downtime, all equipment and lines can be monitored moment by moment. Automation systems aim to produce more products in a shorter time. When necessary actions are taken against the stoppages and losses monitored, losses in the facility will decrease, which will lead to increased efficiency in production.

When it comes to production, working in coordination and producing the right number of products at the right time is very important for the factory to continue its activities and to exist in a competitive environment. This issue is among the most important reasons for the necessity of automation systems in production facilities and enterprises. It is very difficult to ensure coordination in production in order to produce products with human resources in the desired amount and at the desired time, but automation systems make coordinated work quite easy.

Data collected from the field with production tracking tools can be reported in many different ways. Especially in the meetings held regularly before the shift, the previous day's report, which is automatically prepared by the production tracking systems, sheds light on the production processes of that day and which equipment and stoppages should be emphasized. Thus, action can be taken immediately for the events of the previous day.
