Internet Of Things (IoT), Connects Your Factory To The Cloud.

Internet of Things or IoT, refers to the capability of equipment or appliances to connect to a network or the Internet for data exchange. Most home appliances sold today are equipped with IoT capabilities, for example, IoT refrigerators allow you to control their temperature, send you notifications when the water filter must be replaced or control the level of ice to produce among other features.

Most manufacturing equipment sold today are also IoT compliant. Chances are that some of the equipment in your shop are generating vast amount of data and can support the following MetricSoft functionalities:

1. Improve equipment performance.
2. Support Process improvement initiatives.
3. Track and Monitor Production in real-time.
4. Manage operator performance.
5. Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning and more…

Our Automation Analysts will manage all connectivity requirements, they can even retrofit your legacy equipment with sensors to detect vibration, voltage, temperature, proximity, current and more. We can use this information to improve its efficiency, track production and implement Predictive Maintenance to expand its life cycle. The IoT connections are non-intrusive and do not interfere with equipment
functionalities.

Your processes are constantly generating data that can be used to significantly improve performance. Unfortunately, in most organizations this data is lost or underutilized. This access to hard data for real-time analytics and Process Control is at the core of MetricSoft with the support of IoT.

Data Warehouse this is where your data is stored and used for advance analytics and process improvements

The concept of Internet of Things is to connect equipment used in production to a network to extract and share information for the purpose of production improvement. The amount of data generated can be significant since it is uploaded every few seconds to provide real-time production information. This data is stored in a Data Warehouses which have the unique capabilities to store huge amount of data and are optimized for query, reporting and advanced analytics.

Many organizations are beginning to realize the benefits of using Data Warehouses for decision support.

IoT helps capture production data and the Data Warehouse applies computational analysis as the data is received. Following are example calculations that can be computed during the data capture and upload process:

1. OEE
2. Product quality: 6 Sigma, VDA, DPU, DPMO, DPO, etc.
3. First Pass Yield
4. Employee Productivity
5. Equipment Productivity
6. Delivery SLA
7. Waste
8. Scrap
9. Cp/Cpk

The above are just examples, basically any KPI or Metric that is relevant to your production can be programmed and calculated in real-time. Another advantage is the ability to store historical data that can be used for trend analysis, yearly employee performance, process improvement, product tracking, process simulation/modeling, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and more. However, one of the major advantages of real-time analytics is being able to detect and stop product defects on the spot, before they make it to the next process or your customer.

Business Intelligence software,real-time dashboards of production results

Data monetization is the process of using information to increase revenue or lower operating costs. A good example are social media platforms, they have become expert at monetizing the data they collect from their users. They sell their user information to Marketing and Sales departments who in turn use it to build sales leads, design marketing campaign, improve product offerings, etc.

While many organizations are using external data to better understand their markets, few are monetizing the internal data generated within their organization, especially small and medium size companies.
Internet of Things and Data Warehouses help collect, store, and systematically analyze production data.


Business Intelligence (BI) tools improve monetization by presenting data using graph and charts that everyone in the organization can understand. BI can also run analytics models and present the results in Dashboards creating actionable information that support process improvements resulting in better equipment efficiency, reduce re-work, reduce waste, etc.


Software solutions for Business Intelligence is growing at an exponential rate as companies realize the benefits of creating a Data Driven organization. The early adaptors where Sales, Marketing and Finance, but now, with Industry 4.0, Operations and Production are using BI to realize tangible benefits that result in lower operating expenses.


Internet of Things, Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence are at the core of MetricSoft. Keep in mind that our team of specialists will configure these based on the requirements needed to achieve your goals.They will create custom reports and dashboards and the analytics models that will help improve your production performance and reduce production costs.

Automated Control Plans And Real-Time Monitoring

MetricSoft is continuously collecting equipment data through the Internet of Things (IoT) connections. This data is used to execute Automated Control Plans designed to monitor equipment KPI, Metrics, Quality and other vital statistics used to control equipment output.

The Controls Plans are designed based on the data collected via the IoT interface. Once the connection is established and the Control Plans created, this process runs unattended 24×7. MetricSoft Business Intelligence displays the results of the Control Plans using Dashboards that can be viewed in PCs, mobile devices or displayed on large LCD TVs in your production so that your Operators and Supervisors can monitor results and take corrective action when necessary.


The Automated Control Plans can also be configured to send email alerts when one of your KPI, Metric or Quality results is out of compliance. This means that no matter where you are, you will always be up to date on production status. This Real Time Monitoring solutions creates a proactive approach to production management by giving your production staff the tools they need to prevent defects and improve efficiency

Remote Manufacturing Collaboration

The pandemic is forcing organizations to adapt and change how their employees interact with each other, their suppliers, and customers. To safeguard the health of their employees, many organizations have restricted travel and physical site visits to suppliers and remote production locations. This is our “new reality” and for the foreseeable future, companies must adapt and operate within these safety guidelines.

While these safety measures are applauded, they created a service vacuum for Quality, Industrial Engineers and other professionals that provide process improvements to production line. Traditional Virtual meeting software like Zoom or Teams do not provide the tools necessary for these professionals to perform their jobs 

Remote Manufacturing Collaboration (RMC) is a tool developed by MetricSoft that enables remote collaboration across multiple production facilities. Manufacturing professionals can remotely set process goals, create control plans, define KPI/Metrics, monitor production and more all in real-time. RMC is location independent; this means that remote teams can collaborate and work on production improvement projects across multiple remote facilities. The level of control provided by RMC helps you standardize production and deploy best practices across all your locations.

Employee Personalized Performance Dashboards

The best managed companies are those that work based on goals. Their goals are measurable, aggressive but achievable and always include Cost, Quality and Efficiency. Employees in these companies are highly driven and share a common purpose.

Your company is only as good as your employees and so that they can help achieve your goals, make sure all employees are aware of them and understand how they can contribute. Provide constant training, making them Subject Matter Experts in their roles and have a process to create talent and another to retain it.

The employee evaluation process is a powerful instrument to improve employee performance by providing evidence-based feedback. The evaluation tool must be objective and trusted by all employees. The tool should be available to each employee on demand so that they can review their performance and take corrective actions to improve it. This eliminates surprises when the employee sits with his/er supervisor during the yearly performance review.

The evaluation process can be very contentious when there is a discrepancy in the evaluation between the employee and their leader. To avoid this, MetricSoft keeps a personal dashboard for each production operator that tracks their contribution to your goals, KPI and Metrics. Each time a Control Plan or Inspection is executed, MetricSoft tags the results to the employees working on the equipment.

The dashboard can include additional metrics specific to the operator such as Work Time Availability, Waste, Quality, etc.
MetricSoft also includes an operator training module that is used to track their performance after each training session. The module can also assess the effectiveness of the training program and the Trainor.

The training module is design to create your company specific training requirements. But it comes with training for basic quality concepts that explains what quality is, what are KPI and Metrics, etc. These are targeted for the general population with the goal of creating a common language within the organization so that everyone can interpret dashboards and performance reports. The built-in training also includes more advance quality training and project management concepts for Supervisors and Professionals.

Many organizations use standard improvement methods like Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Fishbone Diagram, Fist Pass Yield, Cpk, 6 Sigma, etc., MetricSoft provides a true implementation of these tools and uses hard data to constantly evaluate and improve results and employee contribution.
