Quick Changeover, also referred to as Setup Reduction aims to minimise non-value added activities during production changeover and the setup processes, enabling faster, more efficient change from one product to another.

Reducing machine down time has an instant beneficial effect on manufacturing production efficiency and output. However, without accurate information on the real amount and the causes of downtime it can sometimes be a difficult to see how machine downtime can be reduced.

Plantrun systems continuously collect data from all monitored machines.  This information is then presented on a PC display as a 'shop floor overview', which provides an instant picture of the condition of every machine.
