The winMulti software contains a system to monitor machine performance and a screen to view the details. It is accessed by tapping the service button, then selecting “Output Timings”.

Every minute that the machine is powered on, it logs how many seconds it is either
• Machining
• Loading
• Waiting for the transfer table
Any seconds “left over” are classed as idle, ie the machine is doing nothing.
In practical terms this is because the machine is stopped for break time, stopped for an alarm, or waiting for the operator to fetch profile. It could simply be that there was not enough work to do, and the operator completed the work in the time allotted.
Version 6 software has more features
Data | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|
Pieces Cut | How many pieces have been cut between 06:00 and 18:00 | |
Potential Capability | The cycle time of each piece when the machine is "running" | "Running" means the infeed table is loading or the machining head is working |
Actual | Number of seconds switched on divided by number of pieces cut |
Data | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|
Slots Filled | How many slots have been filled between 06:00 and 18:00 | A slot is defined as the pieces that belong to slot on a particular batch.
If batches are separated into frame and sash batches, there will be a slot for the frame and another for the sashes Sometimes there is more than one slot for each window frame - it depends how the Window designing software is set up and how the information is batches |
Pieces per Slot | Total number of pieces cut divided by Total number of slots filled | This demonstrates the complexity of a 'slot' |
Batches Cut | How many batches have been completed | This only counts completed batches, so a batch that is not completed on one day will show up as completed when it is finished the next day |
Slots per batch | Number of slots divided by number of batches | This shows the average batch size in windows. This should be kept to a high figure (>=20) for maximum efficiency. Small batches are less efficient in both optimisation of profile and time taken to process offcuts |
Data | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|
Pieces | This is how many pieces would have been cut in 40 hours, if the machine could be run at the most efficient it was on that day | This is simply an indication of how it could perform on the production mix it has been given on that day |
Slots (n pieces) | Using the theoretical pieces, and how many pieces are in an average slot (n), this shows how many windows per week the machine would output, given 100% and given the production mix on that day | |
Windows (Avg 12 pieces) | Given the best cycle time per piece, this is how many 12 piece windows could be created | This is purely theoretical and is based on the production mix on that day. If there were slower machining pieces (eg doors) on that day, it would be a lot slower than if simpler windows were run |
The operation times box shows a stuga engineer the frequency and prevalence of a particular operation. This helps identify where the greatest savings can be made for operation time optimisation
