"We were ready to pay $250,000 for a downtime system when by accident we stumbled across Thrive MES on the internet Not only did it offer everything the more expensive system did but it is a fraction of the price. We were even able to customize to our facility far within our budget. After 2 years I was still able to teach them a few big things about the software that they didn’t know about. A recent major success they had was they were able to reduce their downtime by 17 whole shifts per year by making a small tweak in a process. Instead of stopping a machine to make a fabric slice for 1 minute, they slowed the machine down to make the slice while the machine was moving. They also noticed how much downtime changeovers caused so their scheduled department reduced their changesovers from 6 to 1 per week.”
"We are really happy with it and love the planned downtime function. The planned downtime function immediately identified excessive breaks and created accountability for the line running. Management now has real-time data."
