## Improved efficiency and increased visibility enable the team to make smarter production decisions.

When Coastal Machine & Supply started with Datanomix, they thought they had a decent handle on uptime and efficiency — until the data told a different story. In their own words, they went from manual time tracking and guesswork to _real-time visibility, better planning, and measurable improvements_ across the shop floor.

In their blog, they walk through the power of Datanomix:

- **Seamless Integration and Powerful Insights**
After evaluating their options, Datanomix delivered the right mix of features for their needs. Data flows automatically from their machines ([no operator input required](https://www.nooperatorinput.org/)), allowing the team to stay focused on machining rather than data entry.

- **Real-time Alerts and Notifications**
The [Datanomix Mobile App](https://datanomix.io/mobile-app/) keeps the team connected to the shop floor at all times. If an issue occurs— such as a power outage or surge that requires a machine reset—the app sends a push notification so they can respond immediately. A big advantage for lights-out machining.

- **Reduced Changeover Times for Increased Spindle Utilization**
Insights into idle time helped uncover opportunities to tighten up changeovers and increase productive run time.

- **Improved Production Planning and Quoting**
With accurate cycle times, Coastal can schedule more reliably and quote jobs with greater confidence.

It’s a practical look at how turning real-time machine data into action helped Coastal rethink operations and make smarter, shop-wide decisions—with results their team can _see and measure_.
