Mingo Smart Factory

Pros: The Mingo team is more than willing to try to accommodate user requests. Additionally, the quality inputs/outputs are really solid and beneficial to a manufacturing business.

Cons: Mingo is still developing features to make "quality of life" of users/operators better. There are some limitations at this time.

Pros: Real time performance and efficiency status of each workcenter available from any place in the World. Software. Very intuitive interfaces with plenty of charts on every subject. Modern design and convenience in use.

Cons: Fairly difficult to implement. Especially when your manufacturing floor is not very transparent to radio signal. We also had some difficulties to find the right circuit in our machines to send the cycle signal to Mingo system - we have a variety of presses. It is very important, but not easy to train and discipline the operators, so the data collected is accurate.

Pros: The customer support and the ease of use. Has everything you need to make a company more efficient.

Cons: Nothing particular sometimes hard to figure stuff out but the support team is very fast and informative.

Pros: Mingo has been wonderful due to the fact every metric of production is visible in real time. As Plant Manager, if my people are on the floor and unavailable, I can simply view the website or the app to see how production is doing during off hours. Also, tracking of scrap, production hours and downtime are helpful to share with operators during weekly meetings.

Cons: The inhouse training for Mingo with Managment was short. While most of our questions were answered, we did not know what questions we might have due to having never used the system. The team at Mingo does help us with any questions we might have and assists in any ways they can. Just think the training during the ramp up could have been more comprehensive.

Pros: The real time visibility that Mingo Smart Factory provides helps to quickly and efficiently detect and correct problems in our manufacturing process.

Cons: The report creation is a little difficult to navigate.

Pros: Easy to use and customize display dashboards for the shop floor.

Cons: The age of our equipment made connecting to Mingo slightly challenging, but that was on our side, not Mingo's.

Pros: That we could install it & set it up ourselves, which avoided six-figure installation costs to a third party. The real-time data analytics allow you to impact change while an event is happening instead of when it's too late. Mingo continues to provide low-cost easy to implement solutions for businesses like ours that make it a very easy solution to use without having to add additional people to manage the platform.

Cons: Would be nice to have a little more functionality around restriction of data visibility among varying users at different locations.

Pros: I am pleased with the comprehensiveness of the system and the highly customizable format.

Cons: Nothing really. I wouldn't change a thing.

Pros: * Allowed us to capture data in real time * Transitioned from a paper-based system to a digital system * Allowed us to capture a real OEE number and set goals for each area

Cons: We have not come across a true con yet in our experiences with Mingo Smart Factory.

Pros: The software is very intuitive to use, easy to navigate, and easy to setup.

Cons: The data coming from a DXM to Sensortrx was not reliable. Spent alot time narrowing down the problem

Pros: Easy to use and functions properly. Love this software

Cons: I really have nothing bad to say about this.

Pros: The implementation specialist was patient and never gave up even when situations arose beyond our control.

Cons: I don't really have the opportunity to use the software

Pros: The ease of set-up and use was huge in adding the software. On our continuous journey in the areas of process improvement the data that this software has provided has helped us reduce downtime significantly.

Cons: Software is only 7 months old and we have only experience minor issues which were on our end.

Pros: We like the Operator screen, production schedule capabilities, and the extreme flexibility with creating and editing dashboards. If you know how to use Excel you can create and edit dashboards...it's that easy. It is straight forward to connect to machines and get data out of them very quickly.

Cons: Integrations with ERP take some time, but that's normal. Most of the issues are usually on the end of the ERP.

Pros: Easy to use and understand for everyone on the team. Provides visibility we always needed (and things we didn't know we did).

Cons: If I had to nitpick, I would say there was a small learning curve getting everyone set up. It is probably better than most, but it still takes a little bit to get the team on board.

Pros: Being able to see what is being done, and the ability to see it remotely.

Cons: Software is not compatible with a couple of our machines.

Pros: The structure/architecture of the software is very logical and is easy to configure. It is great to be able to configure for different plants also geographically separated and in different time zones. The integration with I/O is great and also that you can use information from Scada and PLC where you already are connected to sensors. For the Machine Operators it is easy to work with reasons for faults. The analytics and reports are extensive and seems sufficient for our needs. It is getting more and more important with integration with other systems like ERP and other systems and Sensrtrx has a good solution for this need. The Dashboard and Scoreboard gives you an excellent overview how the plant is working. It fits well into a modern architecture of Systems of Systems. We got very good training to learn how to configure the system and good support on the questions we had.

Cons: The system is intuitive and easy to use but there are always possibilities for improvements

Pros: Once it is all fixed to our machinces it will tell our downtime, shell count, and efficentce.

Cons: We have to go back and forth with messages we don't have a representative present.

Pros: User friendly, easy of use. Remote/mobile access. Customizable and clear report options.

Cons: Does not track inventory or link to shipping functions.

Pros: The setup and install was straightforward and easily fit our unique business model(s). After install the operators now know how they are tracking to goals in real time, and management can make decisions in real time to allocate resources to best meet company goals. The ability to monitor a multi site manufacturing operation remotely is changing the way we make decisions.

Cons: There is not much to like least. A few of the features are geared more toward high volume, very short cycle time applications. In our business we have some cycle times that exceed 4 hours. This limits the real time tracking in a very small minority of the measures for dashboards and scoreboards.

Pros: User Interface is perfect, setting up the program is very easy.

Cons: Does not work well when you have co part and you want to run only one part on the machine as this is reducing the OEE unless you adjust manually.

Pros: Sensrtrx made the impossible, possible. At first we tried to get help from our machine manufacturers and obtained no results. We then spoke to other similar companies and they all said that the connection to the machine PLC and to figure out the data points was not their thing. SensrTrx took on the challenge and we now have all of our critical machines connected. The rep is very clever, resourceful, and determined to find solutions to every challenge posed to him, all with a great and easy to work with attitude.

Cons: Setting up the software to display the data the way we want it is a bit challenging to understand and learn. The rep has given us several training sessions and has done most of the leg work to get us setup. This is the only area I could see Sensrtrx improving to make it more intuitive.
