One shift, hour by hour
Many short stops look nothing like one long breakdown, even when the minutes match.

The stop list names each cause
Reason, planned or unplanned, and when it started.
Operators tag the cause at the line
They pick it on a tablet, or scan a machine's QR code to open it.

FAQs
How do you track machine downtime automatically?
Fabrico reads the machine's own run and stop signal instead of handwritten logs. A stop record opens the moment the signal changes, stamps the start time and counts the length until production resumes.
What are downtime reason codes?
An agreed list of stop causes, such as a jam, a tool change or a missing operator. A fixed list instead of free-text notes is what lets downtime add up by cause.
How long does it take to start tracking downtime?
With hardware, installing and connecting the devices takes about 1 month, and full rollout takes 3 to 4 months. Reason codes, shifts and dashboards are set up with your team along the way.

How to calculate availability, with an example
Availability is run time divided by planned production time. An example with made-up numbers: a 480 minute shift with 30 minutes of planned breaks leaves 450 planned minutes. A 25 minute breakdown and a 20 minute wait for material take 45 minutes, so run time is 405 minutes, and 405 divided by 450 is 90%. Availability is then multiplied by performance and quality to give OEE. To put a value on the gap to your target OEE, use the OEE calculator.
Downtime analytics by cause, line and shift
Filter downtime by cause, by line and machine, by shift, or by period, to check a change against the weeks before it. Any list exports to Excel, and the REST API and webhooks connect other systems. Groups with several sites can compare plants side by side, which works best when plants agree on the same reason codes. Maintenance is built in, so a repair is linked to the same machine as the stop.
