Sofient VSMS

Virtual ShopFloor Supervisor, developed for Havells

VSMS — Virtual ShopFloor Supervisor — was developed for Havells. It watches every line in real time, compares output with targets, records why machines stop and alerts the right person before a shift falls behind.

The problem it solves

Why Sofient VSMS exists

On a busy shop floor, problems are discovered at the end of the shift, when the target is already missed. VSMS gives supervisors, maintenance and plant heads the same live picture, minute by minute, so they can act while there is still time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does VSMS stand for?
Virtual ShopFloor Supervisor. It does the continuous watching a supervisor cannot do across every line at once.
Can VSMS connect to our machines?
VSMS reads data from PLCs, sensors and counters. Where a machine has no interface, we add simple sensors.
Is VSMS only for Havells?
It was developed for Havells and can be configured for other manufacturing plants.
