Your Plant Manager Says Line 3 Had 2 Hours of Downtime
The Real Number is 6.4 Hours

Micro-stops, slow cycles, and "minor adjustments" add up. Your official reports miss 70% of actual production losses.

The Hidden Losses Problem

Manual downtime logging misses short stoppages, underestimates durations, and miscategorizes causes. The gap between reported and actual is costing you millions.

What Your Reports Miss

Unreported Losses:
  • Micro-stops under 5 minutes
  • Slow cycles (running below standard)
  • Startup/shutdown losses
  • Minor adjustments during run
  • Waiting for materials
  • Quality holds and rework
  • Changeover overruns
What Executives Need:
  • True OEE by line and shift
  • Top 10 downtime causes
  • Trend analysis over time
  • Pareto of losses
  • Equipment reliability ranking
  • Shift performance comparison
  • Cost impact by category

Questions from Manufacturing Executives

What VPs of Operations and Plant Managers ask

QDoes SlideStrike connect to our SCADA/MES systems?

Yes. SlideStrike integrates with Rockwell, Siemens, Wonderware, Ignition, and 40+ manufacturing platforms. It pulls downtime data, OEE metrics, and production KPIs automatically.

QHow does it categorize downtime?

SlideStrike tracks planned vs unplanned, by equipment, by line, by shift, and by root cause. It identifies patterns that humans miss when scanning log files manually.

QCan it predict maintenance needs?

SlideStrike analyzes downtime trends to surface equipment showing early warning signs. Move from reactive to predictive maintenance with data-backed evidence.

QWhat about operator attribution?

SlideStrike can track performance by shift, by crew, and by operator—while maintaining fairness. Identify training needs without creating blame culture.

QCan we benchmark across plants?

Absolutely. SlideStrike normalizes data across facilities so you can compare apples to apples. Identify best practices and replicate them enterprise-wide.
