Improve Productivity – FAST! Downtime Slashed by 94%

“The XL displays definitely generate a competitive interest on the plant floor. Until we put the display up, it was not uncommon to see 160 minutes of shift downtime. Now that the operators can see the down time in real time, it is down to just 10 or 12 minutes per shift.”
