Product information

RUBY TRACK - Identify and utilize your hidden production potentials

Efficient machine operation plays a significant role in boosting profitability within the paper sack industry. RUBY Track turns subjective decision-making into data-driven excellence.

Every day, machine operators face the challenge of deciding: “What speed should we run at?”. Faster speeds might lead to frequent stops, while slower speeds could minimize interruptions but limit output potential. Traditionally, this decision relies heavily on personal experience. But what truly is the perfect speed?
RUBY Track simplifies complex analysis. By categorizing similar products and aggregating data, it presents results via a modern web interface. Instead of subjective decisions affecting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), data-based algorithms now determine key metrics like job start times and setup durations. Machine stops are categorized into job-related and general downtimes, with many downtime reasons automatically recorded.

RUBY Track recommends the perfect speed for upcoming jobs, resulting in more sacks produced in less time. Take the opportunity to enhance your profit with RUBY Track.
