Increase packaging performance by up to 50%.
Instantly improve machine performance and reduce downtime with the Emeralds’ Active Performance Monitoring.
How Does It Work?
Emerald's Active Performance Monitoring improves your performance by up to 50%. Here's how it works...
Step 1: Emerald is Listening
Emerald uses Wave7’s best in class machine monitoring service to provide alerts on operational conditions that are outside optimum performance parameters. The Alerts are sent directly to our engineering and support staff as they occur. Each alert lets us know your machine is experiencing down time, or is heading towards trouble.
Step 2: Real-Time Diagnostics
Emerald uses Wave7 for production, operation and condition monitoring. We combine these tools with our unparalleled understanding of your packaging machine to identify the issue, even if the issue is outside Emerald’s equipment.
Step 3: Emerald Takes Action
Emerald immediately connects to the machine and begins to troubleshoot. If possible the issue is corrected, and if further action is required we contact you to work with us on the issue. In many cases, Emerald will know about an impending issue before it impacts your production!
Active Performance Monitoring Benefits
Up to 50% increase in capacity
Every loss time event is money out the door, regardless of the cause.
Our expertise in combination with Wave7 will pinpoint issues in real-time and help keep that machine running with up to 50% more uptime.
Up to 60% repair cost reduction
In most cases we don’t need to come onsite for diagnostics or troubleshooting.
If there is a problem that requires an onsite visit, we will know issue, reducing the time and costs dramatically.
Up to 90% reduction in troubleshooting time
In most cases we’ll know exactly what the problem within minutes of your call. You’ll be back up and running before you know it.
Know about problems before your customer
Wave7’s Active Alerts lets us know when your machine is heading towards trouble.
Wave7 helps us diagnose the issue, letting us contact you toschedule a fix at your next planned stoppage, not during production!
Free 3 Month License to Wave7
Wave7 is the #1 performance improvement service for packaging lines. Emerald includes one 3 month user license for you as a part of our service!
Wave7 is used around the world to improve machine and human performance on packaging machines and packaging lines. Why? Because Wave7 has three unique advantages:
Wave7 is both a performance improvement method (M2L) and app
Wave7 is a service, not a toolkit you have to provision and build
Wave7 only presents actionable information
Stop wondering how to get data, and start using Wave7
For the past 25 years I’ve either been using, developing or delivering software and hardware that delivers information from manufacturing, IT or machines to humans. The express goal was always to improve performance, but something was always missing. Several somethings, actually.
When you get raw data from any kind of process, you have turn it into actionable information. Actionable information requires:
Correlation. The data needs to be assigned to some real world events.
Aggregation. The correlated data needs to be put into containers that can be assigned to assets and a date/time event (like a shift).
Analytics. The aggregated data must be turned into actionable information.
Methodology. Actionable information needs to be modified to fit within a method for improvement that people understand.
Presentation. Actionable information must be real-time, with push alerts and interactive apps, available on any device.
Guess what? That’s a big ask.
It's all about the method
If you want to build a winning race car, you don’t throw a bunch of random speed parts at it and hope. You need a method to improve man and machine at every race. If you stick to the method and keep adapting to changing conditions, over time you WILL improve.
That’s the basis for Wave7’s success. We’ve developed the best in class performance improvement method for packaging machines and packaging lines, and we’ve baked into our cloud service.
Don't try to build it, just use it
The usual suspects, Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider, Wonderware (Aviva), et all., would have you believe you should build it yourself. BS!
You aren’t a software company. Nor are you a performance consultant, or security expert or any of the other things it takes to run software as a service. We’ve spent more than 50 man years building out a solution so you can just use it.
Stay with your expertise in manufacturing the best products in your industry, and we’ll help you put them in boxes better and faster than you ever have before.
Don't analyze, take action!
Everything in Wave7 is actionable. Our goal is for you to do one of two things:
Look at the Wave7 app and move directly to the problem location, OR
Click on the Wave7 metric, drill down to the specific issue, THEN move directly to the problem location
I don’t want you to schedule a meeting or open an excel spreadsheet, I want you to be able to get a notification, look at Wave7 and move to the problem.
