Visual Display is the fastest path to productivity gains. It channels people’s natural competitive spirit and harnesses their desire to win by establishing SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely).
XL400 - Large Digital Display |
Customizable – Not Custom - Every production situation is unique. That’s why XL makes it especially easy to select the metrics that are most meaningful for your plant floor. With 100+ metrics available “out of the box”, XL easily adapts to your needs. Plant floor events are immediately reflected on the XL Visual Display, providing a direct link between action (line goes down) and reaction (operator resolves problem). |
|
Focused Feedback - XL delivers the right information to the right people at the right time. It translates complex manufacturing data into easy-to-understand performance feedback. The result is a well informed, strategically-aligned workforce that is truly focused on improving productivity. |
