JetSoft for manufacturers
JetSoft works with world leading advanced manufacturing organisations to harness the value of their quality control data to drive intelligent change, resulting in increased productivity and improved commercial performance.
JetSoft’s solutions capture, aggregate and cleanse inspection data, integrating this valuable information with other manufacturing data and systems.
Our core business intelligence features have tools which provide new insights into this data, allowing quality impact to be included in commercial decisions.

A successful manufacturing operation is built upon 4 pillars
Waste
Whether it be wasted time or material, waste is cost without output. Reduction of waste is a quick win in increasing profitability
|
Efficiency
Efficiency or the cost of manufacturing per unit has a direct impact on the profitability of the facility. Increase efficiency, reduce manufacturing cost, increase profitability |
Quality
Quality is linked to reputation which in turn is linked to the long-term operation of business, and its ability to survive the vicissitudes of the market |
Innovation
For a manufacturing operation to remain successful and grow, it needs to invest in innovation to create product improvements and new product lines |
Application of JetSoft’s solutions can have a direct positive impact on all 4 of these pillars
Waste
The first step in reducing material waste is to gain an understanding of waste causation. This is where JetSoft’s solutions help. We aggregate inspection data and have developed unique AI tools to automatically sub categorize the different causes and then associate them with manufacturing processes.
OverSeer can integrate data from other sources and processes alongside inspection data, and the built-in business intelligence functionality enables users to find the cause of defects and test hypotheses using historic information.
In addition to understanding the causes of defects and putting measures in place to prevent them, JetSoft has solutions to capture defects earlier. We use historic process information to calculate the likelihood that a defect has been generated at each manufacturing stage, enabling informed intelligent decision making on whether to continue adding value to that product.

Efficiency
Efficiency is about maximizing the value generated by assets. This is true of both equipment and people.
By deploying JetSoft’s OverSeer, Tracer and DigiOps tools, inspection departments can significantly reduce their data management overheads, improve communication between colleagues and across sites, and satisfy audits with greater speed and conviction.
Time consuming tasks such as report writing, and data validation are performed automatically and consistently. Overall, this leads to inspection and quality departments operating more efficiently.
JetSoft’s data analysis and business tools also monitor equipment performance for abnormalities to predict failures, by having a warning on failures, equipment downtime can be reduced. Additionally, these advanced tools can be used to monitor machine utilization, to accurately calculate return on assets and predict if and when new equipment is required as production volumes change.

Quality
The quality of output should be under constant review by all manufacturers.
Maintaining and improving quality is the responsibility of all employees. To empower this responsibility employees need to have the tools at their disposal to monitor quality trends and understand their impact.
JetSoft’s solutions provide this communication. OverSeer collates and breaks down inspection data and provides clear visualizations to convey statistics on quality. These interactive dashboards are available to all stakeholders, with dedicated metrics and statistics that are targeted on different defects, processes, or product streams. These clear metrics help to create a culture of quality focus, where all individuals can clearly see how their actions affect quality.

Innovation
Like all businesses, staying ahead of the competition is achieved through innovation, whether this be via new product lines or through refinements in production methods.
Modifying or designing new products is an expensive activity, which must only be undertaken with a clear and obvious commercial business case. A major component of determining the commercial value of that business case are the costs associated with manufacture. While the machine use and personnel time cost can be easily calculated, understanding the likely throughput yield is less easy and can have a large effect. E.g. a 50% scrap rate could double the manufacture cost of each component produced.
Once installed, JetSoft’s OverSeer framework collects and compiles historical information on existing designs and their yields. This data can be used to understand the likely yield of new designs and enable decision makers to factor in this cost.
JetSoft’s solutions highlight live, real-time scrap rates and contain filtering functionality to quantitatively demonstrate the impact that changes in production methods have on quality. This enables a measure and learn feedback loop which concentrates on increasing the quality of products without increasing costs.
For example, a customer of JetSoft decided there was a business case to remove a costly pre-process procedure for some product streams. JetSoft’s solutions quickly demonstrated that by not performing this step, instances of particular types of scrap casuing defects dramatically increased. The impact of what appeared to be a cost saving action increased waste and resulted in a considerably higher cost per unit. The removed procedure was reinstated.
