What LineView Navigator is
LineView Navigator is a cloud platform that turns factory data into operational guidance, with a focus on high-speed bottling and filling operations. Monitor tracks OEE, throughput, line speed, and operating mode using production data read directly from PLC code at sub-second frequency. It ranks stops and deviations by their impact on output, including micro-stoppages under 30 seconds. Review produces shift, day, and week reports with cross-shift comparisons, while Analyse compares performance across lines, sites, and regions and examines causal-loss trends over 90 days. SmartWorker provides guided procedures for handovers, root-cause analysis, centrelining audits, and CIL checks. AMI answers operational questions using production data and can identify recurring losses, declining MTBF, and data-quality issues. Navigator connects with PLCs, historians, MES, and ERP systems, and can send data to BI tools, data lakes, and reporting platforms. Its API can trigger mode changes, SKU switches, and line-configuration updates. Lineview describes role-specific views for operators, shift supervisors, plant engineers, and operations directors. Pricing is available on request; Lineview invites prospective customers to discuss implementation, pilot options, timelines, and commercial structure.
