Overview

FactoryTalk Metrics enables manufacturers of all types and sizes to increase production, reduce costs, and increase quality using existing equipment and labor more effectively. This is accomplished through accurate reporting of real plant-floor activity.

FactoryTalk Metrics monitors plant-floor equipment and provides accurate, timely, granular, and specific information on machine performance, while providing detailed machine event history to document performance.
