Making More in 2024: Production Monitoring Release Highlights

The powerful new production monitoring features we launched in 2024.


Our mission is simple: deliver the most innovative, customer-driven tools that help manufacturers optimize production, boost efficiency, and crush their goals. Here’s our annual round-up of our top production monitoring releases from 2024.

Time On Tap

Time on Tap = Time to first active + Time from last Active + Break Bleed

Every shop faces common inefficiencies, and Time on Tap is the key metric to address them head-on. This powerful metric tracks collective downtime during three critical transition periods in each shift:

  • Time to First Active: The time it takes for machines to start producing after a shift begins.
  • Time from Last Active: The delay between the final machine activity and the official end of a shift.
  • Break Bleed: The extra downtime that extends beyond scheduled breaks.
