Autoflex captures the pace of every machine and records downtime, losses, and consumption.
Manufacturers in Brazil and Latin America that use our solutions.
How it works
Extruder, injection molding machine, blow molding machine, printing press, or cutting and sealing machine in production.
Captures production pulses from the machine's cylinder or cycle.
Data collection panel that processes data from up to 16 machines.
The operator starts the production order and reports batches, losses, consumption, and the reason for each stop.
Real-time dashboards for status, OEE, downtime, losses, and traceability.
Planned production orders are sent to the machine, and actual production is sent back to the ERP.
