OFSlive makes monitoring corrugators simple. Taking the age old concept of corrugator chart recorders to a whole new level, OFSlive for corrugators shows speeds, target speeds, slow runs, stops and even shear waste all together in an intuitive, easily understood, real time tool.
Targets are set automatically by OFS for each board quality based on actual crew achievements - rather like a ‘personal best’ and these are clearly shown to operators, who are encouraged to beat their own previous efforts. Each slitter change then represents a chance to set either a new target or even a “record” best.
Operators are encouraged to provide a live commentary against the information recorded by OFS and quickly engage in explaining what they need in order to make the targets that are being shown to them in real time.
OFSlive for corrugators allows many corrugators to be monitored at once, live, from anywhere there is internet. Many businesses use this live monitoring to foster healthy competition by empowering crews to see and comment how other corrugators within the organisation are performing relative to their own performance.
The real power of OFSlive for corrugators occurs when it is combined with the OFS Knowledge Base - a fully searchable repository allowing operators, engineers and supervisors to contribute their expertise as to causes and solutions of corrugator issues.

Shear waste is represented in the orange spans and when visually aligned with the red downtime spans, clearly shows those stops that result in waste.
Slow running is represented in a light green time span. Slow run occurs when the corrugator is running at a slower than expected speed.
Dynamic realtime targets are shown for each slitter change by board grade as different grades run at different speeds.
Operator Commentary on runs is shown in the context of machine performance.
For each slitter/order change, OFS monitors the grade, units made vs. scheduled, the best result achieved for the quality, and whether the crew achieved target on this order change.
