BACKGROUND
Algomine developed a Power BI-based reporting tool to monitor the operational status of production machinery used in car parts manufacturing. The solution enables the detection of anomalies, identification of failures, and analysis of production load. It is now used to document shift summaries and report downtime or malfunctions.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The client faced growing production demands and needed better visibility into machine utilization to detect inefficiencies.
Frequent unplanned downtimes and breakdowns were affecting output and profitability.
The existing reporting tools lacked transparency, making it difficult to identify trends and draw actionable insights.
OUR APPROACH AND SOLUTION
Using Microsoft Power BI, Algomine created a fully customized, user-friendly interface tailored to client’s operational needs.
Key features included:
- Clear visualizations of machine status by shift
- Hourly breakdown of operational data
- Automated detection of anomalies such as excessive downtime or failures exceeding threshold values
- Visual alerts using color coding and icons to highlight critical issues
- The solution allowed employees to summarize shift performance more effectively and provided management with standardized, real-time insights into production. This streamlined the monitoring process and enabled more informed decision-making for workload optimization.
THE RESULTS
- Improved Data Accuracy: Enhanced logic for calculating machine health using Power Query led to more precise, hourly performance analytics.
- User-Centric Reporting: Designed in line with best practices in data visualization, the Power BI report makes it easy for users to find the information they need.
- Operational Transparency: Reporting improvements served both shift-level employees and senior managers with a unified, real-time view of machine activity.
- Proactive Monitoring: Built-in alerts (colors and icons) allow users to quickly spot anomalies and take immediate action.
Algomine has built a modern reporting tool that streamlines organization’s daily operations and enables their team to closely monitor key internal processes.
The project solved complex calculation issues and produced unexpected yet extremely helpful insights that significantly influenced operational processes.
Also, the aesthetic quality and user-friendliness of the Power BI reports had been received very enthusiastically.
