Featured Reviews

Purva - PeerSpot reviewer
Application development senior analyst at Accenture
Automated vision checks have reduced defects and now improve throughput in hardware assembly
The best features Assembly Copilot offers include real-time operator guidance via displays, lights, and projectors, which helps to prevent any errors with automatic cycle timing and grading against ideal workflows, as well as impressive video traceability for root cause analysis. I find myself relying most on the feature that reduces rework, as it helps reduce scrap and compliance issues by intervening only when errors are imminent, improving yield and quality without slowing the operators. Assembly Copilot positively impacts my organization by providing actionable data for engineers to balance lines, identify waste, and compare performance across shifts, which accelerates process improvement.

Trend analysis has improved troubleshooting and program testing for accurate, reliable outputs
The features I appreciate most in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES are the ability to create trends when I troubleshoot during my daily work. I can also edit the program in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES, and before I download it to the PLC, I can test it first to ensure my program is working correctly. GE Proficy Smart Factory MES has been very useful in my daily work because it is user-friendly. I can also go online and change the IP address easily, which is simpler compared to other solutions. Troubleshooting with GE Proficy Smart Factory MES is easier than other options.
