Production monitoring,
Aquitime module

Supporting continuous improvement processes, production monitoring is the heart of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software to help industrial companies improve their competitiveness. The Aquitime module is a production monitoring software solution for tracking machine time, operator time, and production orders (PO).

Aquitime module features

Aquitime enables you to monitor the various times that influence your production, by collecting data automatically from the machines and/or manually from the operators. It provides you with all the information you need to better manage your material, human and energy resources (in conjunction with the Aquiénergie module). It becomes the means of implementing your continuous improvement process.

The collection of production data provides you with real time indicators to analyze industrial performance (OEE, etc.).

See the advantages of the module

1.

Collect so that you can measure

  • Simple, standard and economical acquisition of equipment data (IIoT, OPC UA)
  • Collect information from field staff using all types of technology: PC, touch screen, tablet, smartphone, barcode reader, RFID, etc.
  • The MES software supplements your ERP software by collecting the production data necessary for production control

2.

Monitor all production

  • Equipment : monitor states (on, off, etc.), counts, process parameters
  • Staff : track direct and indirect hours
  • Activities : dematerialization and monitoring of POs, operations, batches

3.

Analyze performance (OEE)

  • Monitor status times: production, stop, etc., in accordance with the AFNOR NF E 60-182 standard (customizable)
  • OEE, GEE analysis, by item of equipment, for the workshop
  • Pareto of causes of non-performance
  • Indicators of the AFNOR NF E 60-182 standard
  • Monitoring of rate / quantities / rejects
  • Breakdown by category
  • List & graph on the evolution of stops
  • Analysis of the successive states of each equipment
  • Synthesis and graphic analysis

4.

Web dashboards

  • Temporal analysis: team, day, week, etc.
  • Monitoring and status of POs or references
  • PO reporting
  • Evolution of stops
  • Operator balance sheet
  • Analysis of the equipment, the island, the workshop, the person, the PO, the reference
  • Display in the workshop (visual management)
  • Identification of productivity losses
  • Waterfall of wasted time

Man and technology, the winning duo of industrial performance.

“We were delighted by the ease of use of the Aquiweb software. As for the return on investment, it is so obvious that we have not calculated it. But we have, for example, revised some targets upwards (as an example on a line from 2,000 pieces to 3,000 pieces per shift).”


The UPL-Arysta LifeScience group is the world leader in the formulation of crop protection products. Aquiweb is installed on 2 sites of the UPL-Arysta Lifescience group: Ougrée (Belgium) and Noguère (France).
