The XL Universe

Benefits

By understanding the role of each element of the XL Universe, you will be well-positioned to take full advantage of every aspect of XL.

Essentials

XL Devices

XL devices are powerful edge computing devices that provide instant and direct visibility into your manufacturing process. XL devices:

• Collect data directly from your manufacturing process via sensors. Capture precise measurements of cycles, counts, downtime, etc.
• Provide real-time feedback to operators and empower them to win their shift via the plant floor scoreboard.
• Transform raw data into actionable intelligence through a fully integrated reporting suite.

XL devices are equipment agnostic. They layer on top of your existing processes, without needing to modify your equipment or systems.

XL Enterprise

XL Enterprise takes XL to the cloud with free, optional features (optional because some companies prefer to keep XL fully behind their firewall).

• Management Console centrally manages configuration and software updates for your fleet of XL devices.
• Email Alerts align all members of your team to drive action when it’s most needed and most impactful (i.e., key events during the shift).
• Email Reports provide summarized data for immediate retrospective analysis after the shift. Let the last shift inform the next shift.

Integrations

Your factory is not a lone planet but rather a vast interconnected system. Integrations enable Vorne XL to work smoothly inside that system.

• Built-in Tools such as starting part runs directly from your existing barcodes make it easy to leverage the information you already have.
• Partner Tools enhance, connect, and integrate XL with other systems quickly, easily, and with minimal burden on IT.
• The XL API provides direct programmatic access to XL devices for companies with significant IT resources.

Services

Services are the “booster stage” of XL. They speed your path to becoming an XL Expert, fast track your improvement journey, and extend the benefits of XL to cover all levels of your company - operational, tactical, and strategic.
