All with an installation time as fast as 8 hours over 1 week.

Other benefits of XL that customers love include no software to install, no servers to maintain, no recurring fees, and no contracts. Instead you get unlimited users, free technical support, a 3-year warranty, and free software updates. All in an inexpensive, off-the-shelf product.

Driving Improvement for Cosmetics Production

Our cosmetics customers strive to make something on-trend, aesthetically pleasing, and increasingly, health-conscious (e.g., clean beauty), often in an FDA-monitored manufacturing environment. It is critical to be able to optimize the productivity of the manufacturing process while maintaining the product quality and uniformity that their customers demand.

The Vorne XL Productivity Appliance enables cosmetics manufacturers to monitor their processes in real time, improve throughput, and maximize efficiency, all while preserving the integrity of their products and manufacturing process. XL drops onto your existing process, making it a quick and easy solution that requires little to no changes on the line. This is a unique and critical advantage of Vorne XL.

Key Benefits for Cosmetics Manufacturing

Vorne XL is completely agnostic to the type of equipment in your manufacturing process. This is a huge advantage as you can easily apply XL to any process and get the same deep wealth of information. XL includes I/O to integrate with your process, a scoreboard for your operators, and built-in reporting for your managers. Even better, it easily and incrementally scales from machine to enterprise.

Monitor your powder presses, liquid or gel filling lines, mixers or agitators, and other equipment with one solution, quickly seeing benefits such as:

  1. Simple Deployment XL can be deployed in a few hours with your existing staff, avoiding costly integration and complex implementation. Just two sensor inputs provide over 100 production KPIs and a wealth of insights for your team.
  2. Dynamic Targets Set production goals for operators with configurable Takt Time values for every SKU you manufacture. Motivate and support your operators to “win the shift” with automatic, contextual plant floor feedback. Display real-time metrics anywhere - the plant floor, the hallway, the break room, and your office.
  3. Real-Time Alerts Keep a pulse on production in true real time. Set alerts based on critical KPI thresholds, providing the right data to the right people at the right time.
  4. Historical Changeover Trends Changeover times can vary drastically depending on the circumstances. Set plant floor targets for operators and access historical analytics to see the fastest, average, and slowest changeover times achieved.
  5. Automated End of Shift Reports Eliminate manual data entry and aggregation by automating End of Shift reports by email. Show performance by line or aggregated across the entire department, simplifying your shift handoffs and weekly production meetings.

Count Data Collection Time Improvement
G.D. | Bindery Manager | High Volume Catalog PrinterHaving the data collected from the Vorne displays allows my supervisors to focus on machines that are running bad and to leave the good ones alone. The bottom line for us is that we cannot effectively react to what was done yesterday. Now, people on the line are always looking to see if their line is number one and do what it takes to make their line perform. No doubt we would not have the efficiency gains that we've achieved without the visuals. It used to take our supervisors 35 minutes to collect the count data for their 9 machines now they have it in 10 seconds!

OEE Improvement
M.H. | Plant Manager | Personal Care and Household ProductsAt Cosmetic Essence we have been aggressively working to improve our OEE and manufacturing efficiencies. So far this year, we have been able to achieve a 22% improvement in OEE, and Vorne XL has been an integral part of our improvement process. By knowing the status of all our lines in real-time, we can address problems in real-time. With XL, our entire team sees downtime, and eliminates downtime. We count on Vorne XL to show us what areas we need to address, and we take immediate action from there.

ROI
F.S. | Controls Engineer | Fortune 500 Food ProducerVorne XL pays for itself in 2 days! Yesterday was the first time we looked at the results since installing XL. The direct result of the display was amazing. We went from running at $9,000 below target per month to a new gain of nearly $30,000 a month!
40% to 70%
OEE Score
Jeremy T. | Industrial Engineer | CosmeticsThe XL Platform changed the production mindset in the company. Easy to use, good value for money, excellent customer service any time we need them helped create a powerful OEE culture. All reports, down time, performance and quality loss data became the way to monitor, take necessary actions by production alerts reaching all relevant people any time there is a problem. Shift, daily meetings are being done regarding these reports, alerts to take the corrective, preventive actions. OEE moved from 40% to 70% over the years. I am proud of being the part and admin of this system.

Downtime Reduction
S.T. | Plant Engineer | International Glass Products ManufacturerThe Vorne displays definitely generate a competitive interest on the plant floor. Until we put the displays up it was not uncommon to see 160 minutes of shift downtime. Now that operators can see the downtime in real time it is down to just 10 or 12 minutes per shift. Also, one of our production shifts just broke the all-time run rate for the line.
10
Years Trusting Vorne
J.D. | Maintenance Manager | Food Products ManufacturerI have purchased and installed Vorne products for almost 10 years now, so I trust their ability to survive in a food manufacturing environment. The XL Series allowed me to introduce a new concept – real-time visualization – for very little cost and complexity. The alternative would have been to use PLCs, interface them with a PC, find and run software on the PC to drive the displays, and interface them with the displays. There is simply no comparison! I really like the product and will recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.
30%
Sustained Production Increase
R.K. | Maintenance Supervisor | Decorative Can and Tin ManufacturerThe results are amazing! We went from about eight thousand units a day to just over eleven thousand just by putting the displays up. That's an almost 30 percent increase in production and we've been able to sustain our gains. Everybody in the plant just loves the displays. Supervisors, managers and operators now have a great tool for monitoring the progress of the lines in real-time.
127%
Target Rate
A.C. | Manufacturing Consultant | Manufacturing Consulting FirmWhen we installed Vorne displays showing target and actual production rates, the target rate for one of the lines was inadvertently set higher than was planned. One of the engineers set the target rate to 180 pcs/min for a part that was scheduled for 140 pcs/min. A few hours later when the plant manager glanced at the display, he was amazed to see the actual performance at 178 pcs/min. The line was running at 127% of plan simply because the goal was there! The Vorne displays showed us that our team members can outperform our own expectations. After we started visual management using the Vorne displays, the lines are showing record productivity numbers.

Trial Conversion Rate
D.G. | Plant Manager | Hospitality and Healthcare Products and ServicesXL is exactly what we were looking for! In the past we have struggled with accurate capacity planning. Thanks to the Vorne displays we now know what is going on anytime, anywhere. XL helps us make informed manufacturing decisions. Improved productivity is a bonus.
