Daily production tracking isn't just a routine: it's the backbone of efficiency, quality, and transparency in manufacturing. But are you making the most of TrendMiner’s powerful features?
Whether you are a TrendMiner veteran or just starting out, a few small habits can make a big difference in how you track performance and communicate across shifts.
Start Your Day with a Clear View
Imagine starting your workday or shift with a dashboard that shows you exactly what you need: no more hunting for numbers or flipping between screens. TrendMiner dashboards let you visualize your most important metrics (throughput, yield, downtime, quality, and more) at a glance.
Use tiles to compare production in the last few days, monitor targets vs. actuals, and spot trends before they become issues. Set up a dashboard tailored to your role —operator, engineer, or manager— and see how much time you save each day!
Ensure a Smooth Shift Handover
Ever come in for your shift and wonder, „What happened last night?” Context items are your secret weapon! Annotate key events, like equipment changes or process upsets, right on your trends. The next shift will instantly see what’s been happening, and everyone stays aligned.
To take it a step further, set up a Shift Handover Dashboard that summarizes all recent context items by type (e.g., maintenance actions, process deviations, or quality notes). You can easily create dedicated context item views and add them as tiles to your dashboard. It’s a simple setup that gives every team a clear snapshot of what really matters before a new shift begins.
By combining clear dashboards with transparent communication, you can make daily production tracking faster, smarter, and more collaborative. Start small: build your dashboard, capture key context, and see how much smoother your day becomes.
