The MERLIN Operator Portal is an intuitive application that displays critical The MEMEX smart manufacturing tool-kit does an exception job of connecting all machines on the factory floor, capturing data, and offering dashboard analytics. It also utilizes one of the most valuable assets on the factory floor – human intelligence – with the MERLIN Operator Portal.
The MERLIN Operator Portal is a Windows based Human Machine Interface (HMI) that provides operators with a live window into what information is being collected from the machine(s), in real-time. Operators can trigger procedural and function processes which affect the data collected on the work order/shop order/job running at their machines.
Touch-screen optimized and barcode ready, the MERLIN Operator Portal virtually eliminates data input errors. Just as MERLIN Tempus dashboards are integral to operational analytics, the MERLIN Operator Portal is integral to the rapid adoption of new, innovative processes on the shop floor. It provides machine operators with an easy-to-use interactive tool that captures information, and informs them as they carry out their tasks. It is an essential tool enabling operators to gather and classify critical downtime states, part rejects and part counts. It enables an operator to interact with work orders in real-time and send alerts to colleagues.
Demands on operator time and expanded responsibility continue to grow. The MERLIN Operator Portal empowers operators who use it to provide critical, databased input about production disruptions and work execution. This captured data also reduces paperwork.
