In factory production, manufacturing stops and downtimes are critical performance issues that often lead to delayed production and income loss. These unexpected interruptions can significantly impact production efficiency and output. Among these, “micro stops” are a deeper problem that is not easily recognisable. These brief, unplanned machine stoppages, typically lasting up to one minute, two minutes, or even five minutes, may seem minor, but their frequency over a shift, week, or month can add up, significantly affecting overall production.

Identifying and addressing these stops and downtimes is essential for maintaining a smooth and productive manufacturing process. Micro stops, in particular, can occur for various reasons, such as equipment malfunctions, material shortages, or human errors. Despite their brevity, their cumulative effect can lead to substantial losses in production volume and efficiency.

To tackle this issue, it is crucial to collect data from the machine’s Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to accurately register and analyse these stops. By using advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), it is possible to detect the specific machine responsible for each stop. This allows for a detailed analysis of the root causes of the interruptions, enabling targeted actions to prevent them in the future.

For industries such as Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturing, where timely production is a key success factor, understanding and eliminating both significant downtimes and micro stops can greatly enhance productivity. Additionally, for production lines with frequent and unknown stoppages, having a system to analyse and address these issues is vital.
