State-of the-art production monitoring system to improve efficiency on the shop floor control in manufacturing industry.
Proxima Systems gives you the production monitoring system that helps you to increase the profitability of your industry, factories and production processes, optimizing the collection and analysis of data allowing you to make informed decisions regarding your processes for improving your overall equipment effectiveness.
With our IProx Factory system, you will find your productivity leaks, thus improving your production efficiency at all levels (operating, planning and strategy) converting your manufacturing plant into a smart factory.
IProx Factory is a comprehensive manufacturing monitoring system that, from a production control app, allows you to monitor production data and make process improvements, second by second, in a realtime production enviroment. It also incorporates surveillance using images taken by cameras installed in critical points in the production process. These images are integrated into the control panels of the production monitoring system, allowing the simultaneous analysis of the results obtained, with the records made of manufacturing operations.
The data collection throughout the factory is automatically updated and graphically shown – with the appropriate level of detail – on dashboards adapted to the various functions:
• at machine level, to occasionally inform and alert of machine utilization. Giving responsibility to the machine operator.
• on the production line, to share the main indicators with the whole team, reinforcing the concept of collective success.
• on the tablet, mobile and computer of the maintenance personnel, who receive automated notifications of machine downtimes, stops and errors in a few seconds.
• on the tablet, mobile and computer of your production managers and the Head of Production, who will be able to make the appropriate decisions for achieving production goal and manufacturing excellence based on overall equipment effectiveness.
• on the tablet, mobile and computer of the management team, who will have direct access to the key performance indicators defined by the factory management.
In additiong to accessing production monitoring data, authorized personnel can also remotely control the machines or the process from a web dashboard.
The whole process monitoring data: recording, integrating, laying out and visualizing information, is performed according to the needs of each project, line and process. Moreover, IProx Factory monitoring solutions provides universal, safe access using our web platform, with individual user profiles and levels of access to the information and prioritized machinery/processes control.

The Iprox Factory production monitoring software, allows lean manufacturers with several factories or production lines to manage them at the same time, consolidating the related data and allowing management to compare their performance and efficiency, being essential to launch a cycle of continuous improvements.
The remote management of installations allows to reduce intervention times, improve quality controls and shorten decision-making processes which, in turn, increases productivity.
The realtime production monitoring system automatically detects and records incidents, and sends alerts to the appropiate maintenance department in seconds, helping to reduce interruptions and converting emergency repair interventions into predictive maintenance interventions that reduce costs and do not stop production.
Consumption by product line, process stage, ton of final product, etc. can be calculated in those processes entailing intensive energy use, etc.
The analysis of historic data, correlated with video recordings, allows the quick identification of the root cause of incidents, production quality problems and sources of waste.
When visualizing the performance of various comparable machines/processes/operations, it is easier to identify the areas for improvement production rates in those that are least efficient.
The image recordings, which are totally integrated with numerical data, make it easy to identify improvements in view of how the operations being analyzed have been performed.

CUSTOMISATION OPTIONS
The information collected and presented in IProx Factory can be adapted to each case (by the client and/or the type of process being monitored and controlled). The IProx controllers are connected and configured for the electric signals, sensors and communications that each machine needs. Moreover, these machine data and control signals automatically appear in IProx Factory as available, in order to configure as many dashboards as necessary by just selecting the variables to be included in each and the presentation mode desired of your machine monitoring panel (a dial, chart, numerical value, etc.).
Moreover, it is possible to develop protocols, algorithms and specific reports for a specific process, using IProx Factory, thus reducing the delivery time and cost of each customisation of the monitoring software to the minimum (in comparison with the alternative of developing a tool from scratch).
IProx Factory offers an API (at no additional cost) that allows the IT departments of those companies using the system to import data in an ERP or other specific software of their own.
PRODUCT SHEET
FAQ’s
P: What is the cost of implementing IProx Factory?
The first stage is a study of the requirements and design of the solution, followed by the supply, installation and activation of the IProx controllers and acquisition modules necessary, in order to start the configuration of the machines and dashboards. The final stage is the training of the personnel who will be using the system. The IProx Factory service instalment is invoiced annually and includes technical support.
P: Where are the IProx Cloud servers located?
They are located in data centres, with every guarantee of high availability from one of the world’s leading suppliers.
P: Can I have my own server on my premises?
We do not recommend it, but we can study the possibility of such a project and prepare a quote for you.
P: Is the annual instalment fixed or does it vary depending on the number of machines connected?
The cost is completely variable according to the number of machines connected at the time of each instalment. This means that the service is a simple variable expense based on your manufacturing equipment rather than an infrastructure/development/engineering investment.
