Wintriss LETS - Line Efficiency Tracking Software

Wintriss LETS factory reporting software uses the latest technology to collect production data, including Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) from every machine in your factory.

LETS Features:

• Can collect data from any machine
• Uses your existing Ethernet (including wireless)
• Open architecture allows for communications with external software
• Displays real-time factory status in your web browser
• Reports are customizable
• Automatic report distribution
• Tracks total hits on every die

Collect Data from All of Your Machines
LETS is a state-of-the-art data collection package that is scalable and flexible.   LETS comes factory-configured to talk to the Wintriss LETS Machine Interface and SmartPAC 1 & 2, however its OPC Server back-end features a wide range of available "Plug-in" device drivers and components for the industrial market.   This allows us to modify LETS to communicate with virtually every machine in your shop.

LETS Scheduling
The new scheduling module for LETS allows you to create a queue of jobs to run in each machine.  Using a web browser interface, you simply select the appropriate part number(s) or tool number and enter the quantity of parts required.   You may optionally enter a job number and/or due date for each job.

Once a schedule is created, LETS automatically sends the “next job” information to the control on the machine.   When it’s time to run the next job, the machine operator simply selects “Load Next Job” and the information, including the good parts counter preset, is retrieved from LETS and loaded into the control.   The top item in the schedule is then automatically “consumed” and the queue moves up.

LETS predicts the completion time/date for each job in the queue with an industry-best algorithm that analyzes real-time as well as historical changeover and production data.   LETS alerts you whenever job completion is due to occur later than the due date.   The scheduling module features a simple intuitive interface that allows you to edit job parameters and reposition jobs within the queue.

LETS also supports group scheduling.   When you have two or more machines capable of running the same jobs, LETS enables you to create a prioritized list of jobs that are available to all of the machines in the group at once.   Whenever a machine in the group becomes available, it is given the next job on the list, and the list consumes.   Group scheduling allows you to maximize machine uptime and ensure that the highest priority jobs get the highest priority.   When one or more machines in the group go down for an extended period of time or experience production delays, the jobs in the queue are automatically rerouted to the remaining machines.

No Special Client Software is Needed
Many currently available data collection packages require you to install special software on all computers that need to access production data.   This is not the case with LETS. If your computer has a web browser and email client, you have all you need to take full advantage of LETS capabilities - even from remote locations (provided you have remote access to your network).

How Does LETS Differ From Other Data Collection Packages?

• LETS is built from standard components that can be customized
• It can communicate with virtually any production machine
• It communicates with the machines via Ethernet (wired or wireless)
• It uses the Microsoft SQL database - not Access
• LETS will run on a virtual server (such as VMWare)
• Shows real-time machine status in your web browser
• No client installs
• LETS supports multi-plant installations
• Open architecture allows data exchange w/external systems
• Automatically distributes/post reports
