Provide a complete real-time view of a Paper Cushioning Machine’s performance as part of a PPU (Pay Per Use) business model by tracking paper usage, box output, cycle time per meter, and production rate. The dashboard helps operators understand how efficiently raw material is converted into packaged boxes.
Dashboard Overview
The PPU Performance Dashboard presents a clear summary of key production indicators, including total paper used, total boxes produced, average cycle time for one meter of material, and the current boxes-per-minute rate. These indicators allow operators to quickly assess whether the line is running at the expected speed and material conversion efficiency.
A daily accumulated meters chart shows total paper consumed over time, helping to visualize growth patterns, high-consumption periods, and days with irregular behavior. The cycle time trend chart highlights fluctuations in the time required to process one meter of material, assisting in the detection of inefficiencies, mechanical issues, or slowdowns in production.
The lower section includes a detailed table of daily boxes, daily meters, and total accumulated meters, giving operators a precise day-by-day performance data. The daily paper usage chart visually compares material consumption across days, helping identify usage peaks, low consumption periods, and opportunities to optimize production planning.
Together, these insights provide a clear understanding of material usage efficiency, cycle time stability, and actual production output, enabling better decision-making and improved machine productivity.
