5.0 5 years ago

Comments: With real time collection and reporting of data, todays problems are solvable today. From better understanding of downtime, to speed and quality opportunities, Vorne provides an ability for decision makers to have the information they need to improve processes and performance. After initial installation in one of our division's facilities, and demonstrated success in performance and capability, we are working to expand utilization to support process improvement in multiple locations.

Pros:

The ease of use by front line operators and real time tracking capabilities along with customizable reporting options make a world of difference in our efforts to move from actual state to target state in production processes and continuous improvement initiatives.”

Cons:

Constant Communication and open dialogue between our organization and the team at Vorne make overcoming subtle issues easy, and learning continuous. There is nothing to dislike about this software.

XL makes a big difference

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Strategically, XL helps to organize the improvement efforts through the "top losses" report.

Pros:

XL provides a clear visibility with real-time performance monitoring of all lines, even when you are out of the factory. The new alerting function is so useful. It warns you when performance go down. It is easy to configure and easy to set to any production environment. The reporting is so powerful and can be customized for different set of KPIs.

Cons:

I hope that the help videos will cover all the features in the future.

Thank you Hossam - I'm glad you like our alerting functionality. Next month we'll start adding the option to send automated emails based on how the production process is running. We'll make sure to keep you in the loop!

Plug and Play Goodness!!!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Loyal customer due to: ease of instalation, ease of use and ultimate power for positive impacts. Both my plants are all connected with XL.

Pros:

Opened the box, made one call to the customer service department and my factory that has been controlled via pen and paper since its inception was online in two days and streaming data straight to my phone. I saw KPIs that I had never seen before and identified huge oportunities where we thought everythgin was under control.

Cons:

All my complaints/suggestions were settled (and more) in the newest software version that was recently released.

Quantify your opportunities and work on the most important first

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Vorne is an ideal productivity software for quick install that almost anyone could do. The software has obviously taken input from customers for many years as it has nearly anything a production environment would want to see. With the Vorne data we were able to quickly determine the most important down time events to correct and improve productivity drastically.

Pros:

The software is very well made and intuitive. Ease of set up, reports, and understanding logic is truly amazing.

Cons:

Would love to be able to cycle count multiple parts running at the same time. But even without this still a fantastic package.
