Information Asymmetry: If your shop floor knows more about machine health than your boardroom, you are carrying unmanaged technical debt.
Systems of Action: Strategic leaders are moving beyond "Systems of Record" (ERPs) to unified platforms that natively synchronize performance with execution.
The Resolution Gap: Relying on aggregated OEE data masks the millisecond-level losses that erode up to 30% of annual revenue capacity.
What is the difference between a System of Record and a System of Action?
A System of Record (like a legacy ERP) is designed for financial auditing and historical cost tracking; it reports on what has already broken.
A System of Action (like Fabrico) is an operational layer that natively synchronizes real-time performance diagnostics (OEE) with maintenance execution (CMMS) to prevent losses before they hit the P&L.
For the CEO and Board, the most expensive technology is the one that allows the "Hidden Factory" of unrecorded losses to grow.
Robert C. Hansen identifies this as the revenue potential that overhead pays for but the enterprise never realizes.
If your current software exhibits these five red flags, it is no longer an asset—it is a structural liability.
If your OEE reports are based on shift notes written by operators at the end of their day, your data is corrupted by human bias.
Manual entry inevitably masks the micro-stops and speed losses that signal impending asset functional failure.
Robert C. Hansen’s framework reveals that 20–30% of revenue capacity is often "hidden" by these unrecorded inefficiencies.
Fabrico liquidates this gap by establishing direct machine connectivity through PLCs, ensuring your profitability is governed by absolute truth.
Strategic planning fails when your production metrics live in a different silo than your maintenance history.
This disconnect creates "Administrative Latency," where a performance drop is noticed but the technical "cure" is delayed by manual communication.
World-class manufacturers focus on the Value Fulcrum—the balance where maintenance intensity perfectly supports maximum effective runtime.
By consolidating OEE and CMMS into one environment, Fabrico ensures that every diagnosis natively triggers an execution task.
If your technicians must walk back to an office desktop to enter data, you are paying a "Paperwork Tax" on your labor ROI.
Skilled engineers in fragmented factories often spend 30% of their day on administrative overhead rather than fixing machines.
Fabrico's field-ready mobile app achieves a 96% adoption rate by putting technical intelligence at the point of action.
Technicians scan a QR code on the machine to instantly access the Digital Medical Record, SOPs, and part catalogs, maximizing your "Wrench Time."
Relying on paper binders or manual sign-offs is a systemic fiduciary risk that leaves the Board exposed during safety or quality audits.
Fragmented systems lack the machine-validated resolution to prove process control during a safety incident.
Fabrico provides Machine-Validated Traceability with time-stamped, unalterable digital audit trails.
This ensures you are "Audit-Ready 365," protecting your brand equity and enterprise valuation against regulatory failure.
High-level boardroom dashboards that only show "Average OEE" are a form of financial deception.
They average out the performance dips, masking the functional decay of your high-value equipment.
Smith & Hinchcliffe’s RCM principles teach us that we must preserve the function of the asset, not just its physical presence.
Fabrico provides millisecond-level resolution and integrated visual monitoring to identify the root cause of functional drift.
This allows the Board to direct capital toward fixing systems rather than just replacing hardware.
| Strategic Metric | Legacy ERP (System of Record) | Fabrico (System of Action) |
| Operational Goal | Financial Audit & Accounting | Yield Protection & Execution |
| Data Fidelity | Subjective: Manual operator logs | Validated: Direct OT/IT Connectivity |
| Integrity Proof | Low: High risk of "Pencil-Whipping" | High: Machine-validated audit trails |
| Loss Resolution | Aggregated: Misses unrecorded losses | Absolute: Captures 100% of yield loss |
| Maintenance Link | Siloed: Manual communication lag | Native: OEE triggers technical response |
| Strategic ROI | Lagging: Reporting on historical cost | Leading: Reclaiming the "Hidden Factory" |
Strategic leaders are building today for a future where production flow is self-stabilizing.
Industrial intelligence cannot learn from an organization that is currently running on unstructured or "dirty" data silos.
On our future roadmap, we are developing advanced AI-driven optimization agents for automated schedule refinement.
We are also working on intelligent assistant modules designed to provide technicians in any site with expert troubleshooting guidance.
Consolidating on Fabrico now ensures that your organization owns the high-resolution, validated dataset required for these future modules.
You move from "reporting on the gap" to "automating the alignment" across your global portfolio.
