Real-Time Production Monitoring for Your Plant Floor

The XL platform transforms machine activity into real-time production data - including downtime, OEE, cycle time, counts, and more. It displays real-time data on a plant floor scoreboard, and curates historical data into reports and dashboards, so your entire team can stay aligned and respond quickly when problems occur.

With the XL platform, you can:

• Track downtime, OEE, cycle time, output, and more in real time
• Compare target vs actual by line and shift
• Display performance on plant floor scoreboards and remotely via Andon report
• Analyze performance by shift, product, job, or machine
• Receive alerts when production stops or slows
• Review reports and trends over time
• Access dashboards from any computer, tablet, or phone

The XL platform is designed specifically for manufacturing, with production-focused metrics, reports, and visual tools built for shop floor to top floor.

XL is a purpose-built, industrial edge-computing device that connects directly to production signals from your equipment and transforms real-time events into accurate production metrics.

• Connect power and one or two sensors or PLC signals — and you’re collecting production data.
• Works with your existing machines, including both new and legacy equipment.
• No external servers. No complex infrastructure. No lengthy implementation projects.
• Deploy in hours and start seeing real-time performance immediately.

This Shift - Operators

Your operators need answers to two simple questions:

• How much do we need to make this shift?
• Are we on target?

Real-time scoreboards and metrics help operators react quickly, stay on pace, and win the shift. The scoreboard drives the first wave of productivity improvement with XL.

This Week - Supervisors

How do world-class manufacturing companies ensure their production meetings are effective? By basing them on accurate, actionable, up-to-date data. Supervisors should answer two central questions:

• Are decisions based on opinions or data?
• Are we focusing on the right problems?

With XL, you are just a click away from more effective daily meetings. Start with one of our built-in reports or create your own custom dashboard.

Better production meetings drive the second wave of productivity improvement with XL.

This Month - Leadership

Most companies try to accomplish too much and end up achieving too little. Why? They focus on the wrong things. Managers need to ask:

• Do we know our top losses?
• Which are improving?
• Which are getting worse?

The XL Top Losses report ranks every loss in terms of lost time. Every down reason. Slow cycles. Small stops. Startup rejects. Production rejects. Changeovers. All ranked by impact and presented in one page. With trend information that instantly shows you where you are improving and where things are getting worse. Banish assumptions. Allocate resources where you will see the biggest improvement for the least effort.

Top losses and other analytics drive the third wave of improvements with XL.

Production Monitoring

Know what’s happening on your plant floor in real time.

XL automatically collects production data from your machines and displays it on a plant floor scoreboard, as well as in web-based dashboards and reports - so everyone can watch the shift unfold.

• Monitor production, including downtime and cycle times, in real time
• See when a line stops, slows, or falls behind
• Track performance against targets throughout the shift
• Identify top losses, downtime reasons, and performance trends

Digital Transformation

Turn production data into a consistent, plant-wide performance system.

XL standardizes how production is measured across lines, areas, and plants, giving your team a shared set of historical metrics, reports, and dashboards to work from. It transforms raw data into valuable insights to empower your team to improve.

• Consistently measure metrics like OEE, downtime, and cycle time
• Analyze performance by shift, product, job, or machine
• Share production data across departments and facilities
• Integrate production data with ERP, MES, and other systems

Culture of Productivity

When performance is visible, behavior changes.

With real-time scoreboards, Andon alerts, and shared performance metrics, operators and supervisors can see how they’re doing throughout the shift - not hours, days, or even weeks later.

• Make performance visible to the entire team
• Respond to problems immediately
• Review performance and losses every shift
• Build accountability and continuous improvement into daily operations

Mobile Access with XL Sidekick

Operators and supervisors don’t have to be tied to a fixed display, or even to the plant floor.

With the free XL Sidekick app, your team can view live production status, enter downtime reasons, manage shifts, and respond to problems from anywhere in your plant using a tablet or phone.

Whether you're on the plant floor, in a meeting, or supporting multiple lines, Sidekick keeps you connected to what’s happening in real time. All you need to do is connect to the same network as your XL devices.

XL is designed for manufacturers who:

• Track production in spreadsheets or on whiteboards
• Struggle to get accurate, real-time performance data
• Have a system in place - but it doesn’t give you actionable data or it's too difficult to use
• Want measurable improvement without a multi-month IT initiative

XL replaces manual tracking with millisecond-accurate data. It eliminates complexity without sacrificing capability.

If any of these issues sound familiar, start with one line.
