SMS Linechart Analytics

Built for management and production process, Linechart analytics is a smart analytics tool that allows you to monitor all your production lines in real time.

SMS Linechart displays information graphically as line, bar or pareto graphs with full drill down functionality. It displays a real timeline status information SMS Linechart has built in statistical tools. Users are able to drill down to specific details on each of the available functions; this is achieved using a simple select and click function provided in the chart area.

During the drill down process all of the previous charts will remain open and may be tiled to allow multiple pane viewing. SMS Linechart is part of the SMS Traceability Suite.

Features

Component Wastage: Linechart Dashboard allows the user to gain maximum performance with minimum input. All data can be analysed and presented via a dollar amount. Each machine or line can be analysed quickly and independently.

Components per hour: All machines/lines can be monitored for best performance example, looking for machine downtimes and inefficiencies on the shopfloor. Reports can be generated showing where performance of machines can be improved.

Panel count: Analytics can easily show what has been produced in the way of PCBs, via hour/day/week/month with a quick and easy view.

Defects: Easily see false calls on AOI, SPI, X-ray and manual inspection stencil printers.

First pass yield: Monitoring and displaying the line process performance for scrap and bad boards, using a “what goes in against what comes out analysis.”

OEE: This metric allows you to get an overall view of how well your production is running by combing productivity, efficiency and quality metrics into one chart. Analyse over time by product, day, or week.

Analyse charts: Always stay in control using SPC Tools Analysis by machine and total line break down by hour, shift, day, product, week, etc. Set SPC limits, analyse trends, add action notes, add pictures and text to any chart or data type. View Action Notes wherever the subject data exists.

Export Data: Simply open the windows you want, click on the create table function… Import into Excel, etc…

Customise using XML: Further customisation can be achieved using XML and style sheets. From any drill down any view can output to HTML diagrams, charts, pictures, and text, etc. Fully customised HTML charts will be displayed.

FAQs: Your SMS Linechart Analytics Questions Answered

1. What is SMS Linechart Analytics and how does it help production monitoring?

SMS Linechart Analytics is a real-time analytics tool built for both management and shop-floor teams. It lets you monitor all production lines via graphs (line, bar, Pareto), track performance, inspect defects, downtimes, and see trends over various timeframes.

2. What metrics does SMS Linechart track, and how can it help improve efficiency?

It tracks key production metrics including component wastage (cost associated), components per hour (machine throughput), panel/PCB count, defects (AOI, SPI, manual inspections), first-pass yield, and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) to show efficiency, quality, and productivity in one view.

3. Can SMS Linechart analyse performance by different time periods or shifts?

Yes — it allows drill down by hour, shift, day, week, month or by product. Users can view historical trends and compare performance across different time spans.

4. How does its drill-down functionality work and what benefit does it offer?

The drill-down feature lets you click on charts/graphs to view deeper levels of information. For example, from a chart showing line performance you can drill into a specific machine malfunction or defect source. Previous chart windows stay open — you can tile them to compare multiple aspects side-by-side.

5. Does the system support custom reporting and data export for further analysis?

Yes — you can export data (tables, charts etc.) into Excel or other formats. Views can be customised using XML and style sheets. Also, charts can include action notes, photos or text annotations.

6. How does SMS Linechart help with quality control, defect detection and yield monitoring?

It monitors defects from AOI, SPI, X-ray, and manual inspections, flags false calls, tracks first pass yield (what goes in vs what comes out), and displays defect trends so you can pinpoint recurring issues and reduce scrap.

7. What is OEE, and how is it displayed in SMS Linechart Analytics?

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) aggregates productivity, quality, and efficiency metrics into a single composite metric. SMS Linechart displays OEE via dashboards and charts, allowing you to compare it over time by product, shift, or machine to identify bottlenecks.

8. Who in the organisation benefits from using SMS Linechart, and what decisions can it support?

Line managers, production engineers, quality assurance, and operations leadership all benefit. It supports data-driven decisions like identifying underperforming machines, planning maintenance, reducing cost of defects, optimising machine utilisation, and improving process yields.
