Blackbird installation and operational experience
Reviewed on 2023/03/08
Pros
Ease of setup. Intuitive user and administrative interface. We were up and running within a few hours on our first production line and after validation have expanded to several production lines without any major issues. Additionally they provide very good user support.
Cons
Standard reporting could be improved but we have found that Blackbird have provided customised BI reports to meet our specific Company reporting requirements

I have worked with the system in multiple companies and what most common areas to improve has been the overall capacity, efficiency, and changeovers. But also to understand our flow and speed in a whole new level. We have worked a lot with improve specific product due to the batch function as well.
Pros
I think that it's not one thing there stands out, but the system in total.For us it's a great way to collect our data, compare, analyse etc. and therefore be smarter in our day to day decisions.
Cons
There i would say that you cant fully design all your needs, but thats understandable.

Blackbird, a great OEE and downtime analysis tool
Reviewed on 2022/12/13
Pros
Once deployed the software is reliable and incredibly easy to use providing detailed insight into OEE and downtime reasons.
Cons
Our initial install process was time-consuming and challenging for our particular use cast. However, I'm sure for more typical factory production line systems deployment and integration would be easy.

I think its a great system and seen some good improvements from the data it collects. Andon call can be very powerful.
Pros
I think how it can adapt to any machine or production line is fantastic and overcome the IT red tape you typically see within organizations
Cons
When using batches I would like the system to change the downtime trigger. We often get caught out by this and as a result do not capture all the stoppages.
