Key Features
Benefits
We were delighted with the outcomes we got with Vistrian’s product as well as their implementation services. Their products are well thought out and integrated easily with our existing legacy semiconductor fab tools and our MES.
We are happy we chose Vistrian’s FactoryLOOK product. Their product integrated with a wide variety of equipment types and controllers; the implementation went smoothly and we were able to exceed our project goals.
As part of our digital transformation, we chose Vistrian’s FactoryLOOK and VistrianMMS respectively. Their project team was knowledgeable, worked well with ours, and the outcome from integrating the two products into our operation delivered more than what we had expected.
In our 50-year-old plant, Vistrian’s FactoryLOOK application was able to provide insights to the causes of our production bottlenecks, increase our output potential and enabled us to avoid needless capital spending of over a million dollars.
1. What is Vistrian’s Manufacturing Suite and how does it support Industry 4.0 transformation?
Vistrian’s Manufacturing Suite is a unified platform that connects directly to factory-floor machines and processes. It collects and analyzes equipment and process data in near real-time, turning it into actionable dashboards, reports, and alerts. This visibility helps manufacturers streamline operations and drive decisions based on actual factory performance.
The suite supports Industry 4.0 transformation by digitizing the production environment, enabling real-time insights, automation, and data-backed decisions-key components of Smart Manufacturing.
2. How does FactoryLOOK enable real-time monitoring and data collection from factory equipment?
FactoryLOOK connects to machine controllers (PLCs or PC-based systems) using standard industrial protocols to access real-time equipment and process data. When direct integration isn’t possible, it retrieves data from logs or databases-ensuring no insight is lost.
The data is stored and analyzed within FactoryLOOK’s platform, offering real-time dashboards and reports to operators and managers, empowering them to act quickly and accurately.
3. What types of analytics and KPIs can Vistrian Analytics provide for manufacturing operations?
Vistrian Analytics provides a comprehensive range of metrics including OEE, throughput, utilization, yield, and cycle time-customisable to any desired level of granularity. These insights help identify bottlenecks, track performance, and support continuous improvement.
It also includes Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to detect anomalies, ensure process stability, and maintain consistent quality across batches.
4. How do Vistrian Dashboards enhance visibility and decision-making on the plant floor?
Vistrian Dashboards give plant managers and supervisors real-time access to key performance metrics and alerts. These insights are driven by live data and SPC analysis, helping teams catch issues early and respond with precision.
By replacing guesswork with data-driven clarity, dashboards accelerate decision-making and promote operational agility on the shop floor.
5. What is the role of Vistrian IoT in connecting machines and sensors across the factory?
Vistrian IoT bridges connectivity gaps by adding smart sensors and devices to machines that lack digital interfaces. These sensors capture critical environmental or process data and sync it directly to FactoryLOOK.
This ensures comprehensive coverage of the factory, even when legacy equipment can’t be networked-advancing Industrial IoT adoption and centralised monitoring.
6. Can Vistrian’s Manufacturing Suite integrate with existing legacy systems and controllers?
Yes. The Manufacturing Suite is designed for compatibility with legacy controllers-some as old as 40 years. Where direct data access isn’t possible, IoT devices can be deployed to capture missing insights.
This hybrid approach allows factories to modernize operations without replacing existing equipment, making Vistrian a highly adaptable digital transformation partner.
7. What are the key features of the Manufacturing Suite, such as SPC, e-Recording, and Virtual Factory?
The suite includes tools for Equipment Integration, Data Historian, SPC, e-Recording, Analytics Toolkit, and Virtual Factory modelling. These modules work together to provide total visibility and control across production lines.
With dashboards, alerts, and paperless record-keeping, Vistrian supports real-time decision-making, compliance readiness, and continuous improvement across the factory floor.
8. How does the Manufacturing Suite contribute to reducing cycle time and improving equipment utilization?
By improving WIP visibility, reducing manual handoffs, and identifying bottlenecks, the suite enables operations teams to act faster and more efficiently. Managers gain instant access to data that helps them optimise dispatch control and streamline process flows.
This responsiveness drives faster cycle times and improves overall equipment effectiveness-maximising output and minimising idle time.
9. What benefits can manufacturers expect in terms of product quality and consumables cost reduction?
With real-time SPC and analytics, manufacturers can catch quality deviations early and reduce rework or scrap. This consistency improves product quality while optimising raw material usage.
By tracking trends in consumable usage and linking them to process data, the suite also helps identify cost-saving opportunities and improve sustainability on the shop floor.
10. Is Vistrian’s Manufacturing Suite scalable for multi-location or enterprise-level manufacturing operations?
Yes. The platform is modular and cloud-enabled, allowing centralised monitoring across multiple factories. Whether deployed in a single unit or across a global network, it ensures data standardisation, benchmarking, and enterprise-wide visibility.
This makes it ideal for manufacturers seeking to scale digital transformation across regions while maintaining control at every level.
