SK-go!® is your universal tool to control and to analyze the effectiveness of your manufacturing operation. Select from the
extensive list of software modules which functions and reports are relevant to your company. All modules are using the
same data base ensuring that the collected information is uniform through all applications. A data import and export interface
to your ERP-system guarantees that all information is exchanged with your organizational data processing system.

The module “Production Recorder” offers a Smart Start solution into the world of shop floor data with minimal cost as no
terminals are required at the machines.

Keeping accurate counts on produced quantities as well as on up and down times is the key aspect of machine data

networking systems. We have the technology to interface with every possible machine to get true counts and true 

run time information that can not be manipulated. We have the information whether your machines are really

making parts, or if they are just running idle, or even are down. True up and down times are accurately recorded 

down to the fraction of a second. SK-go!® has got it’s finger at the pulse of each machine!

 
The SK-go!® software analyzes the collected data and converts them into easy-to-understand and ready-to-use graphics. 

Special emphazis has been put into ease of operation. All commands and all graphs are self explanatory. 

Please see below the most common functions and modules:

Shop Floor Viewer

The SK-go!® shop floor viewer gives you a comprehensive     look at  the current shop floor situation:     • graphical shop floor layout with coloured indication of       machine status     • current down reason and length of down-time     • alert indicators (traffic lights) for critical situations     • MES-Controlling function screens all machines in respect       to their targets (with indicator lights)    Just click on the machine symbol and obtain an array of data    concerning current job progress and efficiency, and the    performance of the last shifts.

Order Data

Expand your system by relating the collected data to the    running parts. Simply start and terminate jobs on your    machine data terminals. This step will give you in addition:    • job performance reports (efficiency, quantities, etc.)    • all data available for costing    • job sequences    • job comparison    And this information is not just available for the jobs of the    last 6 weeks, but as far back as you want!

	Down Codes
	Create your own list of down codes and select the relevant    code on your machine data terminal each time the machine is    down.    SK-go!® will now deliver further shop floor details such as    down code statistics and error frequencies for any selection    or combination of time frame, machine number(s), jobs,    or parts.    So you will be able to locate weak points quicker.

Tool Consumption

SK-go!® offers an attractive and very easy-to use function to    keep an accurate record on the number of tools consumed.    Each time the operator reports a tool change as the reason    for being down, the machine terminal will prompt a tool    structure (text listing, CAD-drawing, graphs, etc.) from    which he can select the tool(s) just exchanged. At the end    of each job, you will have exact information about number    of tools used for this job, and the associated cost. The    achieved tool life is automatically recorded at the same    time.You can have detailled tool life reports at your finger    tips such as   • average tool life for each type of tool    • tool consumption listed e. g. by machine, job, part,     time period    • “hit parade” of tool types, etc.
