Factory Automation connecting shop floor operations to the enterprise

Manually entered production counts and transcribed weighbridge readings produce operational data that arrives late and incomplete. Fistreet's Factory Automation capability captures machine and equipment data at the source.

What's Covered

From machine data to management dashboard.

PLC / SCADA Integration

Direct integration with major PLC systems — capturing machine output counts, cycle times, fault codes, and process parameters in real time.

OEE Monitoring

Overall Equipment Effectiveness calculated automatically from machine data — Availability, Performance, and Quality rates tracked by machine, shift, and product with loss categorisation.

Weighbridge Integration

Direct weighbridge connectivity for accurate tare, gross, and net weight capture — eliminating manual entry at dispatch and inbound receipt, with automatic weight certificate generation.

Barcode & RFID Systems

Barcode and RFID implementation for material identification, WIP tracking, finished goods movement, and asset management — with mobile scanning for floor-level data capture.

Predictive Maintenance

Machine runtime-based and sensor-based maintenance triggers — automatic work order creation for preventive maintenance, with breakdown analysis and MTBF reporting.

Real-Time Production Dashboard

Live shop floor dashboards displaying current production rate, machine status, quality reject count, and shift progress — visible to management without waiting for morning reports.

Operational Intelligence

Machine data routed directly into enterprise decision-making.

Fistreet designs automation architecture that routes machine data through the ERP: production counts update work orders, downtime events update OEE reporting, and weighbridge readings create dispatch records automatically.

Machine output automatically updates ERP production work order completion
Downtime duration captured at source — no manual downtime reporting
Weighbridge readings create GRN and dispatch records without re-entry
Quality parameters from sensors trigger automatic lot holds
Maintenance triggers from runtime data — before breakdowns occur
Every production event time-stamped and attributed
