We very much appreciate it! 8/10/2023 Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite CP Christopher P. Torque Crib Supervisor and PINpoint SME for Caterpillar Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/15/2021 "Torque tool control, PLC interface, Check lists, Quality alerts, Andon system with Process interlock" 5/5 What do you like best about PINpoint MES? Everything is traceable! From user log in to interlocking your DC tooling using PINpoint socket trays (easily associated to any and all tool types, all with one tray), to monitoring and recording every fastening. Production problems are traceable as well using the built-in ANDON system with easily configured buttons, with text messaging to 1st responders, everything is documented and timestamped. No more guessing or exaggerating downtimes within your workstations. PINpoint's easily configurable and puts you in complete control of your process while giving you up to the second data of all operations as they happen on the shop floor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PINpoint MES? As a 1st responder supporting multiple facilities for a large company, my biggest pet peeve is the inconsistencies in the way things are named or referred to from one site to another. While naming is in the user’s control and not really a PINpoint issue, the thing that would benefit a large company rolling out PINpoint across multiple facilities would be to develop a "Standardized Naming Convention" for process steps, fastening steps, tooling, tooling types, production lines, work stations, data managers, and devices before starting. Standardize EVERYTHING!! This way the support team from one site can actually help support multiple sites without ever actually being there in person because they know by a tool or device's name... what it actually is without ever laying eyes on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PINpoint MES solving and how is that benefiting you? With facilities like ours, we have a high mix of products but relatively low volume for many of our production lines. Because of the high mix, it may take an operator years before they see every model that may pass through their workstation. PINpoint solves this problem by interlocking our Digitally Monitored Torque Tools (DMTT's) along with the socket trays, or wrench end adapters used with them so that operators on 1 st, 2nd, and 3rd shift all build the same product the same way, always using the proper tool, with the proper socket/adapter, at the proper time. Additionally, if your workstations happen to have GCI Smart Arms for high torque joints, PINpoint interlocks those fastening processes as well by communicating with GCI's Adaptic's software, locking the process one step further!
