YOUR GPS FOR PROFITABLE MANUFACTURING
Freedom eLOG
Better Information
For Superior Plant Management
Running smooth
For manufacturers, there’s nothing more satisfying than steady, high-quality,
profitable output. When your entire production system is running smooth,
clean and fast. We all know how even a small event – anywhere along the
production chain – can cause that system to slow down. Or worse, to stop.
And yet, pinpointing and identifying the cause can be tedious, timeconsuming, elusive and costly. Until now.
Quickly Identify Problems and Improve Productivity
Freedom eLOG gives you the data you need to better manage your machine
tool investment, and maximize your productivity. An affordable, intuitive and
easy-to-integrate application, it collects and reports the performance data of
your entire plant’s production assets. It addresses the need to communicate
and understand machine tool availability, utilization, and performance, as
a basis for objective corrective action. By providing intuitive data mining
capabilities and automated functions, Freedom eLOG allows you to recognize
patterns and trends, enabling you to better manage the operation of your
equipment and increase your productivity.

Freedom eLOG Sample Reporting Views
The Pie Chart report explains how a machine’s time is distributed
(by total hours) between productive and non-productive activities.
Improve Your Productivity with Easy-To-Use Freedom eLOG
Freedom eLOG enables you to better manage your machine tool investment
by reporting the performance of your plant’s production machines. It brings
shop floor managers an intuitive, concise picture of their assets’
performance – up-time, down-time, OEE and contributing factors –
that allows quick and relevant improvements in system productivity.
Easy to Navigate Drill-down Reporting
The Stacked Bar report provides a view (by percentage) of how a
machine’s time is distributed between the various categories defined by
the AMT standard.

Productivity reports are available on-line for operators, supervisors and
engineers. This information can be used to optimize equipment, programs and
schedules for around-the-clock operation. Easy-to-read charts and graphs
are supported by detailed information. Users can set up automated reports and
instant notification of critical events via e-mail or cell phone text messages.
The Daily View provides a detailed, graphical view of a machine’s activities
for a single day’s time.
Clicking on any element of a chart reveals the events that produced that
element; clicking on any event reveals yet more detail. The intuitive user
interface makes it easy to mine down to whatever level of detail is needed.
The Top 25 Alert report makes it easy to analyze and understand the alert
messages issued most frequently by the CNC control.
The Event List report enables you to analyze all events within each of
the AMT groupings and quickly identify causes of non-productive time
in the factory.
